Shop work that contributes directly to the completion   of   a   project.   For   example, prefabrication of components. Project and site surveying. Camp  maintenance  when  accomplished  as part of the battalion direct labor tasking. Mineral  product  operations  for  either  a  tasked project or as a specific tasked project. Construction  equipment  operation  when assigned to a tasked project. 2. INDIRECT LABOR is man-days expended to support construction operations. but does not produce an  end  product  itself;  therefore,  this  time  is  not repotted/recorded  under  a  project  number;  it  is  recorded under an indirect labor code. The codes are as follows: XO1—Equipment, Repair and Records XO2—Project and Camp Maintenance XO3—Project  Management XO4—Location  Moving XO5—Project Travel XO6—Material  Support XO7—Tools XO8—Adminstration and Personnel XO9—Last Time X10—Other 3.   READINESS and TRAINING are comprised of functions related to preparation for and execution of military exercises, disaster preparedness, mobility, and technical training. Training includes attendance at service schools, factory and industrial training courses, fleet-type  training,  special  Seabee  training  courses, safety  training,  military  training,  and  any  other organized  training  conducted  within  a  battalion. Report/record these man-hours under a specific name. Your report should be submitted on a typical daily time card form, similar to the one shown in figure 1-13. The form provides a breakdown by man-hours of the activities in the various labor codes for each crew member for each day on any given project. This form is reviewed at the company level by the staff and platoon commander,  then  it  is  initialed  by  the  company commander before it is forwarded to the Operations Department.  It  is  tabulated  by  the  management  division of the Operations Department with the daily labor distribution reports received from each company and department in the unit. This report is a means by which the  operations  office  can  analyze  the  distribution  of manpower resources each day. It also serves as feeder information   for   preparation   of   the   monthly OPS/SITREP reports and other source reports required of the unit. This information must be accurate and timely. Each level in the company organization should review  the  report  to  analyze  its  own  internal construction management and performance. Q1. What person is responsible for the maintenance program  in  a  Naval  Mobile  Construction Battalion? Q2. What is the standard interval between PMs? Q3. What  NAVFAC  manual  provides  instructions  for using a Shop Repair Order? Q4. Interim repairs that exceed what number of man- hours require an ERO? Q5. Equipment maintenance is what type of labor? MAINTENANCE  SUPPORT LEARNING   OBJECTIVE:   Describe   key items of maintenance support required for the Civil Engineering Support Equipment (CESE) maintenance   program. The tools, consumables, and spare parts needed to support  the  equipment  allowance  of  the  unit  are portions  of  maintenance  support.  The  Supply Department is responsible for providing these items. In a battalion, the Supply Dpartment is under the control of the supply officer, who is assisted by a chief Storekeeper.  The  supply  section  (S-4)  is  responsible  for general  supply,  ship’s  service,  material  control,  and delivery.  The  material  control  section  is  responsible  for ordering,  receiving,  and  controlling  tools,  materials, and repair parts.  As you can see, S-4 has a big job.  Keep this in mind when you become impatient with the Storekeepers. REPAIR PARTS SUPPORT Mechanics expect repair parts to be available when needed—and  rightly  so. It is the job of supply to provide  the  parts  you  need;  however,  supply  cannot satisfactorily perform its support mission without the help  of  maintenance  personnel.  Mechanics  must understand how the repair parts supply system works and make sure that supply knows what you need and 1-18
