CHAPTER 4. MAINTENANCE
SECTION 1. SHORE MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT
This section pertains to shore activities’ CESE maintenance management. Units
assigned to the Naval Construction Force (NCF) or designated as Special Operating
Units (SOU) should refer to Section 2 for guidance on maintenance management.
4-1.1 Basic Maintenance Objectives. The basic objectives of the Transportation
Maintenance Management Program are to provide at the lowest possible cost:
a. Maximum availability of safe and reliable equipment, thus reducing the
capital investment needed for providing effective and efficient transportation service.
b. Ensure the maximum economic service life of the equipment, thus reducing
the capital replacement cost.
4-1.2 Program Elements. To accomplish the basic maintenance objectives
efficiently and effectively, the application of management principles, procedures, and
techniques for maintenance planning, organization, direction, coordination, control, and
evaluation have been incorporated into the Transportation Maintenance Management
Program. These have been included in the following basic program elements which are
provided in this section.
a. Planning and Scheduling. Provides for the establishment of a complete
and accurate inventory of the equipment to be maintained; an inspection and
preventive maintenance schedule that will ensure safe, serviceable equipment, and a
uniform shop workload.
b. Organization and Facilities. Establishes the necessary organizational
structure to ensure efficient accomplishment of the maintenance workload through
proper direction, supervision, environment, and control of the work force.
c. Coordination. Provides for the necessary coordination with the supply and
fiscal organizations for material support and accounting service, and with other
organizations for coordination support.
d. Control. Provides procedures and standards for the control of work input,
direct labor productivity, overhead, material, downtime, and overall maintenance cost.
e. Reports and Performance Evaluation. Provides a uniform system of cost
and statistical accounting, together with management indices to evaluate all phases of
the program in sufficient detail to determine those elements needing corrective action,
and provides a data base for transportation maintenance budget projections.
