That VIDS/MAFs are annotated with a tool container number and appropriate initials are obtained following task completion/work stoppage. 8. That the department’s tool control environment is maintained when work is to be performed by contractor maintenance teams or depot field teams. A QAR will brief field team/contractor supervisor/ leader(s) upon their arrival regarding the activity’s TCP. Depot teams working in O- or I-level facilities will comply with the host activity’s TCP. WORK CENTER RESPONSIBILITIES All work center supervisors have specific responsibilities under the TCP. All tool containers should have a lock and key as part of their inventory. The supervisor should be aware of the location of each container’s keys and have a way of controlling them. When work is to be completed away from the work spaces (for example, the flight line/flight deck), complete tool containers, not a handful of tools, should be taken to the job. If more tools are needed than the tool container contains, tool tags can be used to check out tools from other tool containers in the work center or from another work center. The following is a list of additional responsibilities of the work center supervisor: 1. Upon task assignment, note the number of the tool container on copy 1 of the VIDS/MAF, left of the accumulated work hours section. A sight inventory will be conducted by the technician prior to commencement of each task, and all shortages will be noted. Every measure must be taken to ensure that missing tools do not become a cause of FOD. Inventories will also be performed before a shift change, when work stoppage occurs, after maintenance has been completed, and before conducting an operational systems check on the equipment. 2. When all tools are accounted for and all maintenance actions have been completed, the work center supervisor signs the VIDS/MAF, signifying that maintenance has been completed and that all tools have been accounted for. 3. If any tool is found to be missing during the required inventories, conduct an immediate search prior 3-2
