Maintenance Planning Process - Marine Corps Systems Command

Maintenance Planning Process NarrativesOperations & Support Subsystem PhaseTitle: Engineering ChangeBlock Reference Number: OS-18Objective: The objective of implementing an Engineering change, arising fromthe updated MEA and Analysis of Maintenance Alternatives as a resolution thatis warranted, is to ensure that corrective action is taken so as to implementchanges to weapon system support subsystems that will improve the usefulnessof fielded systems.Risks: Failure to implement an Engineering change will nullify the potentialbenefits that could be derived from the change. If it involves safety orenvironmental changes, the result could lead to continuing unacceptable risks tothe operating forces. At the least it will leave the existing system experiencinghigher than desirable failures, lower availability, and higher ownership costs. Thisin turn will increase POM requirements, logistics and fleet demands.Responsibility: It is the responsibility of MCSC Log; LOGCOM Log;OEM/Contractor; to ensure that resolutions are implemented.Involvement of Others: OPFORRESMechanisms: RCM2Inputs: Updated MEA and Analysis of Maintenance AlternativesOutputs: Modification recommendations to existing weapon system supportsubsystemsTiming: Immediately after updated Maintenance Engineering AnalysisDistribution: MCSC Log, LOGCOM Log, OPFORRES, OEM/ContractorPreparation: See ECP process.3/15/2006 Page 20 of 24 Flowchart Control MPP V2.1
