Maintenance Planning Process NarrativesOperations & Support Subsystem PhaseTitle: Update Validate Maintenance Engineering AnalysisBlock Reference Number: OS-09Objective: The objective of updating and validating the Maintenance EngineeringAnalysis is to reflect changes arising from subsequent Maintenance EngineeringAnalyses brought about by changes to system from a Science and Technologyupdate, PDQRs, Failure Investigations, also to ensure that any changes inoperating context, new or deleted functions, new or deleted functional failures,are analyzed so that any new maintenance tasks that are needed can be addedor that any tasks now not needed are removed, also to identify any redesignsthat may be required, so that there will be a complete and accurateunderstanding of weapon support systems reliability as it progresses through it’slife cycle.Risks: Failure to update and validate the Maintenance Engineering Analysis willlead to incomplete understanding of weapon support systems reliability as itprogresses through its life cycle. This will allow for inaccurate and/or incompletesystem or support systems for fielded system. This will lead to fielded systemswith higher failure rates than desirable, less performance than anticipated, lessavailability, larger logistics footprint and possibly unsafe or environmentallydemanding fielded systems. This will become an issue when enough futurefailures crop up to raise concerns. By this point it will cost much more to becorrected (if it can be corrected at all). If it cannot be corrected (system havingbeen fielded) the system will have less than expected performance, loweravailability and ownership costs will mount unexpectedly.Responsibility: It is the responsibility of MCSC Log; OEM/Contractor; to ensurethat updates and validation to Maintenance Engineering Analysis are completed.Involvement of Others: LOGCOM Log, OPFORRESMechanisms: RCM2, RLA, MTAInputs: PQDR’S; Science and Technology Updates; Failure Investigation resultsOutputs: Updated and validated RCM Analysis, Repair Level Analysis andMaintenance Task Analysis. Resolution ProposalsTiming: Immediately following any proposed changes to the fielded system orsupport subsystem.Distribution: MCSC Log; LOGCOM Log; OPFORRES; OEM/ContractorPreparation: Assemble Analysis Team and Schedule RCM2 Analysis3/15/2006 Page 9 of 24 Flowchart Control MPP V2.1
