items in the Navy Supply System are covered only by reference number descriptions because these items are very difficult to describe. There are, however, many items that you can easily describe by physical characteristics. Included in this category  are  many  common-use  items  of  nontechnical nature, such as paint, handtools, nuts and bolts; and some  technical  items,  such  as  fuses,  resistors,  and electron  tubes. You can find the NIIN for a common-use item with a noun name/physical characteristics description in the ASG or GSA catalog. The ASG is sequenced by Federal Supply  Groups  and  Classes.  A  noun-name-item  number index for the ASG is contained in the Introduction and Master  Index. PLANT PROPERTY Plant property includes all real property (land or buildings and improvements) owned by the Navy or for which  the  Navy  is  accountable.  This  property  may  be located at either a Navy shore facility or in the plant of a private contractor. Plant property also includes all personal property of a capital nature (equipment) owned by the Navy. Plant property does not include items of equipment in storage (items that are carried) in the Navy Stock Account (NSA) but that have not been issued for end use. Also it does not include items in the custody of a unit of the operating forces that are moved with the unit. As an Electronics Technician carrying out fiscal and supply duties ashore, you may be called upon to perform  tasks  associated  with  plant  property accounting. Identification numbers are used with plant property items to make the following functions easier: Selection  of  specific  items  for  transfer Physical inventories of equipment Maintenance of property record card files Specific  identification  of  equipment  items  in shipment orders, invoices, and survey reports Maintenance of history record cards Each item of equipment meeting the criteria of plant property is marked with an identification or registration number. This number is also recorded on the plant property  record  card  maintained  for  that  item. Figure  3-14  is  an  example  of  an  identification  tag that you may find on a piece of electronic equipment. Figure 3-14.–Sample plant property identification tag. INTEGRATED  LOGISTICS  REVIEW  (ILR) A ship’s ability to perform its operational missions depends to a large extent on the crew’s ability to keep the  equipment  installed  on  board  working  as  it  is designed to work. To do your job as a technician, you must have the proper technical manuals, test equipment, planned  maintenance  material,  and  repair  parts  readily available for use. One of the Navy’s efforts to deal with these requirements and to improve each command’s readiness  is  called  the  Integrated  Logistics  Review (ILR).  Working  closely  with  this  program  is  the Integrated Logistics Overhaul (ILO) program. The ILO is scheduled to coincide with upgrades during  overhaul  periods.  Under  the  guidance  of  an experienced ILO site staff member, called a ship project manager (SPM), a small number of selected personnel from the command aide in overhaul work to provide the command with complete logistics support. This system includes not only repair parts but also technical manuals and PMS materials for the equipment installed during an availability or overhaul. Integrated   logistics   support   (ILS)   audits   are performed  on  commands  that  have  completed installation  of  new  or  modified  systems  and  equipments during an overhaul or availability period. The logistics support planned for these alterations includes audits on the  accuracy  of  the  allowance  parts  list  (APL),  the coordinated shipboard allowance list (COSAL), and allowance  appendix  pages  (APPs).  The  correct  techni- cal manual that coincides with the installed equipment configuration  is  reviewed.  Test  equipment  required  to perform  maintenance  functions  is  determined  by reviewing  maintenance  requirement  cards  (MRCs).  The Planned Maintenance System (PMS) documentation audits  include  verification  of  the  command’s  list  of effective  pages  (LOEP),  maintenance  index  pages (MIPs),  and  maintenance  requirement  cards  (MRCs). The  adequacy  of  personnel  training  is  checked.  Spare parts are sight validated, as are the command’s selected 3-21
