SUPPLY PRIORITIES/PROJECT CODE ASSIGNMENT

Figure 7-19.—Scheduled Removal Component (SRC) card (OPSAV 4790/28A). Q31. In the intermediate maintenance activity (IMA), what work center is responsible for maintaining positive control of all accountable material? Maintaining VIDS display boards and verify that The quantity of like items in the supply department the various work center VIDS display boards are determines the priority set on the inducted item. Once in parity. If operating under NALCOMIS. ensure the IMA has the component, production control tracks work centers are updating NALCOMIS as it and manages the priority as it goes through the repair required. cycle. Ensuring packaging, preservation, and represervation is done according to applicable technical manuals. It is important to remember that production control is the nerve center of the intermediate maintenance activity (IMA). The IMAs primary purpose is to support the squadrons and to help the supply department support the squadrons. When a local squadron is in need of a repairable aircraft component, its use of a replacement part from supply directly affects the IMA. The bad part removed from the aircraft (retrograde component) will eventually show up in the aeronautical material screening unit (AMSU), and if they have the capability to repair it, that component will be inducted in the IMA. SUPPLY PRIORITIES/PROJECT CODE ASSIGNMENT When informed by the repairing work center of repair parts requirements. production control assigns the supply priority and project code. As discussed in chapter 3, all Navy activities are assigned a force activity designator (FAD) for determining priorities for material support based on their mission. The FAD is correlated with an urgency-of-need requirement to determine the priority assigned to requisitions. For example, a FAD 7-20
