Maintenance Planning Process NarrativesOperations & Support Subsystem PhaseTitle: Monitor Trends, PQDRs, Predictions, Failure InvestigationsBlock Reference Number 7Objective: The objective of monitoring Trends, PQDRs, Predictions, FailureInvestigations is to ensure that all deficiencies of the fielded system and/orsupport system that are observed by OPFORRES are completely and accuratelyevaluated, predicted usage versus actual usage is assessed, abnormal orfrequent Failures are investigated; so as to ensure effective and efficient supportof systems in the field.Risks: When PQDRs are not monitored and reviewed, this could lead toineffective support of fielded systems. This could lead to increased cost offielding, ineffective use of assets and may result in less than adequate supportfor the end item. If predicted usage versus actual usage is not monitored, thiscould lead to a shortage of supply items needed for effective support of system,which could lead to less availability of system and higher ownership costs. Ifabnormal or frequent failures are not investigated, this will lead to less availabilityof system and higher ownership costs. All of these will have an adverse effect onTOC-R.Responsibility: It is the responsibility of LOGCOM Log to monitor Trends,PQDRs, Predictions and Failure Investigations.Involvement of Others: OEM/ContractorMechanisms: N/AInputs: PQDRs, Usage Reports, and Failure ReportsOutputs: Fully supported, effective and efficient weapon systemTiming: Immediately following any observed support deficiency of fieldedsystem.Distribution: MCSC, OEM/Contractor, LOGCOM (SCMC, DEPOT, DLA).Preparation: N/A3/15/2006 Page 7 of 24 Flowchart Control MPP V2.1
