Maintenance Planning Process - Marine Corps Systems Command

Maintenance Planning Process NarrativesOperations & Support Subsystem PhaseTitle: Update Validate Maintenance Engineering Analysis- MaintenanceTask AnalysisBlock Reference Number: 12Objective: The objective of updating and validating the Maintenance TaskAnalysis is to ensure that any changes, brought about by updated RCM2analyses, are implemented so that any new maintenance tasks that are neededcan be added or that any maintenance tasks now not needed are removed, sothat there will be a complete and accurate understanding of weapon supportsystems reliability as it progresses through its life cycle.Risks: Failure to update and validate the Maintenance Task Analysis will lead toincomplete understanding of weapon support systems reliability as it progressesthrough its life cycle. This will allow for inaccurate and/or incomplete supportsystems for fielded system. This will increase program costs by providing formaintenance tasks which are not needed. This will lead to fielded systems withhigher failure rates than desirable, less performance than anticipated, lessavailability, larger logistics footprint and possibly unsafe or environmentallydemanding systems. This will become an issue when enough future failures cropup to raise concerns. By this point it will cost much more to be corrected (if it canbe corrected at all). If it cannot be corrected (system having been fielded) thesystem will have less than expected performance, lower availability andownership costs will mount unexpectedly.Responsibility: It is the responsibility of MCSC; LOG IPT; OEM/Contractor; toensure that updates and validation to Maintenance Engineering Analysis(Maintenance Task Analysis) are completed.Involvement of Others: MCOTEA; LOGCOM (SCMC, DEPOT), OPFORRESMechanisms: Maintenance Task AnalysisInputs: New RCM2 AnalysisOutputs: Updated Maintenance Task AnalysisTiming: Immediately following any proposed changes to the fielded system orsupport subsystem.Distribution: MCSC Deputy Commander, LOG IPT, ILSO and SBT LeadLogistician will be sent notices of when LOG IPT review will occur.Preparation: Perform RCM2 Analysis3/15/2006 Page 13 of 24 Flowchart Control MPP V2.1
