Accuracy in man-hours expended and maintenance cost is essential to meaningful data. Comparison of  standard  hours  with  actual  man-hours  could indicate a shortage of ability, lack of training, or even shop or tool features that cause delays. When standard hours are added to induction time, you should be able to forecast an accurate completion date. Time spent obtaining repair parts may also be  charted  and  used  to  determine  positive  or negative   availability   or   management.   Some public  works  have  contracted  repair  parts suppliers to increase availability and reduce lead time. CONTRACT   MAINTENANCE   AND REPAIRS the  contractor’s  bill.  The  shop  dispatcher  turns the  equipment  over  to  the  shop  inspector  and destroys  the  custody  receipt.  The  equipment  is then   reinspected   for   satisfactory   repairs.   The inspector  and  the  control  section  supervisor  review the work and the bill. If all is correct, the bill is certified  for  payment.  The  original  SRO,  three copies of the DD Form 1155, and three copies of the  contractor’s  bill  are  to  be  forwarded  to  the appropriate  office  for  final  processing  and payment.   The   green   copy   of   the   SRO,   one copy  of  the  DD  Form  1155,  and  one  copy  of the   contractor’s   bill   are   to   be   filed   in   the vehicle  history  jacket  for  the  life  of  the vehicle.

COMMERCIAL   CONTRACTORS When   work   is   performed   by   commercial contractors or facilities, an Order for Supplies or Services, DD Form 1155 (fig. 1-6), supported by an  SRO  is  required.  The  control  section  supervisor ensures  that  the  SRO  covering  equipment scheduled   for   contract   work   is   properly documented   and   turned   over   to   the   shop inspector.  The  inspector  lists  the  necessary  repairs on the SRO, applies the manufacturer’s flat rate standards,  and  returns  the  SRO  to  the  control section supervisor. After the contract labor rate, contract  number,  order  number,  and  necessary accounting data are added, the SRO is forwarded to the contracting officer. The contracting officer prepares  an  original  and  six  copies  of  the  DD Form  1155.  One  copy  is  forwarded  to  the comptroller, where   the   estimated   amount   is entered  on  allotment  records  as  an  obligation.  The original  and  four  copies,  together  with  both  copies of  the  SRO,  are  then  returned  to  the  shop dispatcher for delivery with the equipment to the contractor.  When  the  equipment  is  delivered  to the contractor, a custody receipt is to be obtained and  returned  to  the  shop  dispatcher.  After  the completion of repairs, the contractor returns the equipment to the shop dispatcher with the original and one copy of the SRO, four copies of the DD Form 1155, and the original and three copies of EQUIPMENT   WARRANTIES   AND DEFICIENCIES Normally, warranties guarantee the equipment and   its   parts   against   defective   material   and workmanship  for  a  period  of  time  or  miles specified in the procurement contract.
