NAVFAC P-300 Management of Transportation Equipment

(1)
Organizational Maintenance. Organizational maintenance is the
responsibility of the Equipment Operator, and scheduled preventive maintenance
services are performed by trained personnel (paragraphs (a) and (b) below).
Organization maintenance consists of proper equipment operation, safety and
serviceability inspections, lubrications, minor adjustments, and services. Usually,
activities accomplishing only organizational maintenance are provided with “0” level
repair parts support as described in Chapter 5, paragraph 53.2.
(a) Operator Maintenance. Every operator is to detect any
malfunction and maintain his vehicle in clean, safe, and serviceable condition.
Operator maintenance includes daily before, during, and after operation inspections,
and lubrications and adjustments. Before, during, and after operation inspections and
services are described in Chapter 2, paragraph 2.15.3.f.
(b)
Preventive Maintenance. Preventive maintenance (PM) is
scheduled to maximize equipment availability and minimize repair costs. Preventive
maintenance consists of safety and serviceability inspections, lubrication, and minor
services and adjustments, in addition to operator maintenance. Operators should
participate in this work, unless directed otherwise. Scheduling PM is described in
paragraph 4-2.3.
(2) Intermediate Maintenance. Intermediate maintenance is the
removal, replacement, repair, alteration, calibration, modification, rebuilding, and
overhauling of assemblies, subassemblies, and components. These repairs are
performed in a designated maintenance shop. Equipment which needs extensive or
numerous assembly rebuilds require prior approval by higher authority. Maximum onetime
repair costs (see Appendix F) are evaluated by the relationship of equipment age
to equipment life expectancy. Because intermediate maintenance requires more skill
than organizational maintenance, intermediate maintenance is authorized a larger
assortment of repair parts, precision tools, and testing equipment. Usually, activity
main bodies are provided “H” level repair parts support, and major detachments are
provided “G” level support.
(3) Depot Maintenance. Depot maintenance is performed by
designated maintenance activities to support organizational and intermediate
maintenance activities that have more extensive shop facilities, equipment, and
personnel of higher technical skills. Currently, NAVFACENGCOM authorized
maintenance for CESE is performed under organization and intermediate levels only.
