COMPONENT CONTROL SECTION The function of the CCS is to manage the LRCA held at the ASD/SSC. These assets consist of all supply assets in the ASD/SSC, whether they are held in the LRCA storage area, at the IMA undergoing work, sitting upon the shelf in AWP status. or being processed for shipment to a designated overhaul point (DOP). Local Repair Cycle Asset (LRCA) Storage Unit The LRCA storage unit receipts, stores, issues, and accounts for all repairable assets under the control of the CCS, including the rotatable pool. The LRCA allowance depends on an activity’s maintenance data report (MDR) usage data and average turnaround time (TAT). There are four workload priorities that can be assigned to a LRCA. Priority 1  is assigned to support NMCS/PMCS aircraft for requisitions held by supply. Also, priority 1 is assigned to 30-day predeployment requirements. Priority 2 is assigned for the repair of critical LRCAs   and   SE,   in   addition   to   organizational maintenance  activity  (OMA)  work  stoppage requirements. Priority 3 is assigned for the repair of noncritical LRCAs and SE. It covers the repair or manufacture of material for nonfixed allowance stock. Priority 4 is assigned for processing salvaged material and nonaeronautical work. If a squadron submits a requirement for a part and the LRCA has no assets, the CCS will dispatch a driver to your squadron to pick up the failed component. The driver will deliver the part to AMSU as an expeditious repair (EXREP). When the IMA can do the work, IMA inducts the expeditious repair component for overhaul under work priority 1. If IMA can put the part back in ready-for-issue (RFI) condition, the component will be delivered to the squadron immediately. The AMSU looks at similar components in work priority 3 for possible   cannibalization   to   RF1   the   EXREP component  from  the  squadron.  If  the  component cannot be overhauled by IMA due to lack of repair parts, the component is sent to the awaiting parts (AWP) unit. AWP Unit The AWP unit receives, stores, and controls all AWP  components  returned  to  the  ASD/SSC  from  IMA because repair parts are not available. The AWP unit personnel   requisition   piece   parts   and   maintain requisition files: registers, and records that are needed to  monitor,  follow  up,  expedite,  recycle,  and  report material demand for component repairs. Q26. Q27. Q28. Q29. Q30. Q31. Q32. What  are  the  two  sections  of  the  Aviation  Support Division/Supply  Support  Center  (ASD/SSC)? If apart is listed in the CRIPL, the maintenance activity has how many hours after receipt of the replacement   component   to   furnish   the unserviceable  part? What items are maintained in the pre-expended bins  (PEBs)? How often does supply review stock records for the  PEB? What section of ASD/SSC manages local repair cycle  assets? How many workload priorities can be assigned to a LRCA storage unit? If  a  squadron  requisitions  an  NMCS  component from supply and, except for the turn-in, the only other part on station is in the IMA for repair, what  priority  will  be  assigned  to  the  component received  from  the  squadron? SUMMARY You should now have an idea of the various jobs that some of the supply personnel perform and how the supply   system   works,   at   least   locally.   More importantly,  you  should  have  an  understanding  of  how important it is to accurately document part numbers and stock numbers. Ordering the wrong part not only costs  your  command  money,  it  causes  unnecessary delays  in  the  repair  of  aircraft.  When  ordering replacement parts, take time to ensure accuracy and neatness. When in a hurry, that "Z" may look like a "2" or that "5" like an "S." Take your time and don’t be part of the problem. 3-24
