department. In this section, you will be introduced to the staffdivisions and their duties and responsibilities. Maintenance Administration.—The main- tenance administration provides administrative services for the maintenance department. It prepares maintenance-related correspondence that requires special attention by the AMO or higher authority; maintains files of maintenance-related correspondence and nontechnical publications and instructions; and ensures distribution of incoming messages, correspondence, and other data, including official and personal mail. It also coordinates department administrative security responsibilities with other departments and divisions; and maintains personnel assignment records for the department. Quality Assurance.—The idea of QA is to prevent defects from occurring from the start of a maintenance operation to its finish. QA is the responsibility of all personnel. Its achievement depends upon prevention, knowledge, and special skills. Prevention is making sure that there are no maintenance failures. It extends to the safety of personnel, to the maintenance equipment, and to all aspects of the total maintenance effort. Prevention allows you to regulate events. rather than have them regulate you. Knowledge is factual information. It includes data collection and analysis for acquiring knowledge to prevent defects. Special skills are required of a staff of trained personnel for the analysis of data and supervision of QA. The objective of QA is to readily pinpoint problem areas so that management can accomplish the following: Improve the quality, uniformity, and reliability of the total maintenance effort Improve the work environment, tools, and equipment used in the maintenance effort Eliminate unnecessary man-hour and dollar expenditures Improve training, work habits, and procedures of maintenance personnel Increase the excellence and value of reports and correspondence originated by maintenance personnel Effectively disseminate technical information Establish realistic material and equipment requirements in support of the maintenance effort Effectively support the Naval Aviation Maintenance Discrepancy Reporting Program (NAMDRP) Support the Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Prevention and Reporting Program Normally, QA work spaces are near the production divisions and the AMO. System Administrator/Analysis.—The system administrator/analyst (SA/A) provides analytical information for the AMO’s review of management practices within the organization. An SA/A will be established in O-level activities to monitor, control, and apply the MDS within that activity. The SA/A serves as a point of contact between work centers and the data services facility (DSF), and is responsible for all aspects of the maintenance data system (MDS), including Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS) reports and inquiries. If an activity is operating with VIDS, the analyst will be assigned to QA/A. The requirements for analysis stem from many sources and apply to a wide range of maintenance subjects. At times, analysis is initiated to provide an answer to a specific problem. At other times, analysis of selected areas of maintenance may be initiated by a monitoring action. Some of the more important responsibilities of the SA/A are as follows: Coordinate and monitor the MDS/NALCOMIS for the department. Review maintenance data reports(MDRs) to identify trends. Use the MDWNALCOMIS to assist in identifying possible deficiencies in technical training or documentation procedures. Monitor the assignment of the third position of work center codes. Collect, maintain, and distribute in narrative, tabular, or chart or graph form the data required to monitor, plan, schedule, and control the maintenance effort. Develop charts, graphs, and displays for command presentation. Assist the AMO and other supervisory personnel in determining the specific goals for new types of data reports required for managing the maintenance effort. 1-7
