Plans  material  requirements  to  support  the department   workload. Furnishes technical advice and information to the supporting supply department about the identity and quantities of supplies and spare parts required to support the department workload. Establishes  and  maintains  a  Tool  Control Program (TCP). Reviews allowance lists and the Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) for adequacy, and initiates action for revisions, as required. Ensures divisions assign qualified personnel for the   completion   of   scheduled   maintenance   and inspections. Maintains  close  liaison  with  QA,  particularly when   maintenance   changes   major   components. Maintenance control must inform QA when such changes  occur. Validates the Not Mission Capable Supply/ Partial Mission Capable Supply (NMCS/PMCS) status listings  each  day. Validates work center VIDS display boards. Keeps the AMO advised of the overall workload and material situation as it affects the department. Ensures  compliance  with  the  Oil  Analysis Program. Ensures   compliance   with   the   Hydraulic Contamination Program. Establishes    departmental    maintenance procedures for all support equipment (SE) for which the activity  has  IMRL  reporting  responsibility,  and  ensures such maintenance conforms with the SE Planned Maintenance  System  (PMS)  and  the  Metrology  and Calibration (METCAL) program. Develops  an  understanding  of  the  Naval Aviation   Logistics   Command   Management Information System (NALCOMIS) concept and its application  to  management  and  automated  data processing   (ADP)   requirements.   Refer   to   the NALCOMIS User's Manual for specific details related to maintenance/material management. Provides pilots/aircrews with a record of aircraft discrepancies and corrective actions for the last 10 flights of the aircraft by maintaining the Aircraft Discrepancy Book (ADB). (Discussed later in this section and in chapter 1.) 7-2 Q4.     What work center manages and coordinates the overall production effort to maintain squadron aircraft in a mission-capable condition? Q5.     What division controls the daily workload and assign work priorities to the various work center supervisors? Q6.     What division is responsible for publishing a monthly  maintenance  plan? Q7.     What division is responsible for ensuring that aircraft undergo functional maintenance check frights as required? Q8.  What  division  maintains  the  Aircraft Discrepancy Book? MAINTENANCE MEETINGS LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Define the purpose of  the  daily  maintenance  meeting. Without a doubt, the best tool for ensuring a smooth  flow  of  information  about  maintenance between  shifts  and  other  supervisors  is  the  daily maintenance meeting. The meeting allows all the supervisors within your department or division to brief the maintenance chief on the status of equipment, components,  or  aircraft  that  currently  have  ongoing work or are scheduled to have maintenance performed. It also allows maintenance control to coordinate time frames for sharing certain facilities, equipment, or electrical  power  requirements.  In  addition,  these maintenance  meetings  may  bring  to  the  attention  of  the maintenance chief specific tasks that need items of material or equipment that may be difficult to obtain. It  may  also  identify  certain  document  numbers  that require "hand massaging" by the supply chief. The  maintenance  chief  can  use  the  information obtained at the maintenance meetings to "plan ahead," such as obtaining support equipment that another squadron has checked out or coordinating a time period that the corrosion branch needs to paint or even reassign aircraft to the flight schedule. This allows specific maintenance to be performed on specific aircraft. Always  remember  that  nothing  happens  to  any aircraft without the maintenance chiefs approval. The maintenance chief releases the aircraft as "safe for flight." He/she MUST know what is happening on every aircraft at every moment. Q9.  What  is  the  primary  purpose  of  the  daily maintenance   meeting?
