Maintenance Planning Process - Marine Corps Systems Command

Title: Execute MCSC Disposal ProcessBlock Reference Number: DIS-1Maintenance Planning Process NarrativesDisposal Subsystem PhaseObjective: The objective of the MCSC Disposal Process is to ensure any weaponsystem support subsystem that has reached it’s useful end-of-life stage, is sold orredirected to appropriate recipients, or disposed of in a safe, environmentally and soundmanner. Complete support subsystem disposal will also ensure the affected items arephased out of use and all aspects of the disposed system are removed from inventoriesincluding manual, electronic systems and configuration management systems.Risks: If the support subsystem(s) are not purged the space and storage requirementswill not be relieved. This adds cost to the space and material handling of the items untilthe item in question is completely disposed. In the event safety or environmental issuesprevent the disposal of the support subsystem, the result will be having to store theitems longer than anticipated, continuing to have to monitor and account for thesystem(s). This increases ownership costs, and requires future funding that may takeaway from other programs. If funding is not available to dispose of the supportsubsystem, it will have to be stored longer than anticipated, continuing to have tomonitor and account for the system(s). This increases ownership costs, and requiresfuture funding to either keep the systems on hand or eventually dispose of them. Thismay take away from other programs. If the recipient is not ready to receive the systemsthat are being disposed of, it may require special storage and handling of the items untilthe recipient is ready. This increases the cost of disposal that may require fundingconsiderations that would otherwise not be anticipated.Responsibility: It is the responsibility of PMT and LOGCOM to ensure that properaccounting procedures for tracking actual usage are in place, and that actual versuspredicted is monitored. The Logistician will ensure phase-out of the equipment bycompleting the following:• Maintain an ILS milestone chart of required actions.• Ensure the equipment is safe and ready for DEMIL• Determine and take action on any ESOH issues.• Coordinate the delivery of the replacement system ( if applicable)• Coordinate with MCLC, OPFORRES, and MCSC International Programs Office(where applicable).Involvement of Others: OEM/Contractor, DLA Marine Corps Logistics Command's(MCLC's) Supply Chain Management Center (SCMC), the MCSC Program Manager(PM), the MCSC International Programs Office (IPO), and other offices related to thesafe and legal phase-in/phase-out of weapons systems controlled by MCSCMechanisms: N/AInputs: Phase-Out PlanOutputs: Phase-out, Demilitarized, and/or Disposed of systemTiming: 5 years before scheduled phase-out.Distribution: PMT, OEM/Contractor, LOGCOM, DLA3/15/2006 Page 1 of 2 Flowchart Control #:2.1
