the  MAF  (or  facsimile).  Upon  completion  of  AWP validation, correct the AWP listing accordingly. The AWP retention goals and thresholds apply to all fixed allowance assets. A daily count of AWP items must be conducted to provide management flexibility. The age of AWP components should be color coded (20, 30, 60, and over 60-day increments). Supply and maintenance personnel must review the AWP when the following situations exist: . Any time the number of AWP components on hand  exceeds  15  percent  of  the  average  monthly  IMA inductions. l The number of aged (more than 60 days) AWP components  exceeds  1  percent  of  the  average  monthly IMA inductions. There will be situations that will require the use of apiece of a part on a given AWP item that was received for another AWP item. It is sometimes necessary to remove  an  installed  part  from  an  AWP  item  to  fix another  AWP  item.  To  ensure  replacement  of  a cannibalized part, a control system is required. The key to  controlled  cannibalization  is  documentation.  Some occurrences  are  as  follows: .  AWP  work  center  review.  The  work  center supervisor  or  representative  determines  that,  by judicious  use  of  available  piece  parts  accumulated among a group of like AWP items, a given number of those AWP items can be repaired. .  CCS  initiated  review,  Outstanding  NMCS  or PMCS requirements for repairable may require CCS to screen AWP items. The CCS may determine if potential cannibalization is feasible to satisfy the NMCS/PMCS and request the work center to take action. The BCM-4 is an Action Taken code assigned to a repairable item that was not repaired because of lack of parts. Before processing an AWP item as BCM-4, ensure all necessary actions were taken to get the part. Review outstanding requisitions for AWP items on a daily basis. Submit  a  follow-up  if  a  positive  status  is  not  received within 10 days. If a satisfactory status is not received 10 days after the follow-up, submit a request for assistance to  the  ACC/TYCOM.  Refer  to  NAVSUP  P-437  and chapters  3  and  4  of  this  TRAMAN  for  additional information  about  supply  assistance  requests. There are many variables to consider before you can BCM an item. They are listed as follows: Operational  requirement.  The  component  maybe required  to  meet  a  specific  operational  tasking. Readiness. Mission capable (MC); full mission capable  (FMC). IMA production capacity. Supply system availability of repair parts versus availability of WRA or SRA. Financial impact, considering the cost of repair parts vice net cost of WRA or SRA. To  process  the  item  for  BCM-4,  reinduct  the  item into the work center. The work center will reinstall the piece parts and perform preservation on the item. Ensure that the item is complete (no missing parts) before shipping it to the designated ATAC hub. Request for approval  to  retrograde  assets  will  include  the  following information: Nomenclature NSN Part number Quantity Past  90-day  removal  rate Normal median TAT in IMA Tentative  BCM  code  of  defective  item Narrative of problem precluding local repair Include  the  30-day  assist  message  previously submitted  to  the  ACC/TYCOM  as  reference.  Other assets  held  in  AWP  may  be  BCM  without  prior ACC/TYCOM approval when the retention limitations are reached. In  a  NALCOMIS  activity,  AWP  personnel  use several  conversation  codes  to  perform  AWP  functions. Some of these conversation codes are as follows: Conversation  code  N203  provides  a  cross-reference of part number to a CAGE and stock number. Conversation   code   N216   displays   the Failed/Required Material Data of the MAF Control Number  (MCN). Conversation  code  N644  is  used  to  receive  a component into the AWP location. The Job Status code must  be  “WT”  to  process  component  into  AWP  location. Conversation code N646 is used to release AWP components back to the repair cycle. The Job Status 9-18
