CHAPTER 4 MAINTENANCE CONTROL AND PRODUCTION CONTROL The maintenance control or production control office is the focal point of all aircraft and aeronautical equipment maintenance actions within an aviation maintenance activity. Maintenance control in organizational maintenance activities (OMAs) and production control in intermediate maintenance activities (IMAs) have similar roles. Both coordinate the work of shops with diverse skills to achieve a common goal—keeping aircraft flyable. MAINTENANCE CONTROL AND PRODUCTION CONTROL TASKS LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Identify the function of maintenance control and production control in the maintenance effort and the levels of maintenance of each. Define the purpose of Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS). As the nerve center of a maintenance activity, maintenance control plans and schedules the workload of the work centers. Maintenance control uses the Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS) to schedule the workload of work centers and divisions in the maintenance department. NALCOMIS is an automated management information system that provides Navy aviation activities with the information to aid in the day-to-day management of the maintenance effort of assigned aircraft and equipment. The system provides detailed procedures to enter, collect, process, store, review, and report maintenance and flight data that are required to manage the maintenance organization. The maintenance material control officer (MMCO) heads maintenance control. The MMCO is responsible to the head of the maintenance department, the maintenance officer (MO), for the overall maintenance effort and material support of the maintenance department. The main tasks that are performed by maintenance control include the following: Coordinate and monitor the department workload Control the daily workload and assign work priorities Prepare the monthly maintenance plan (MMP) Ensure compliance with the planned maintenance system (PMS), related instructions, and publications Review NALCOMIS and maintenance data reports (MDRs) to ensure effective use of manpower and materials Maintain aircraft logs and records, associated equipment records, and weight and balance records Coordinate and monitor NALCOMIS in the maintenance evolution Maintain aircraft discrepancy books (ADBs) The MMCO ensures accomplishment of maintenance control functions through division officers, maintenance chiefs, work center supervisors, NALCOMIS, and AZs. If you are assigned to a maintenance control, you may perform tasks in support of these functions. One of your primary duties as a maintenance controller should include maintenance action form (MAF) initiation. To perform this task, you should have an in-depth knowledge of aircraft maintenance documentation procedures. NOTE:   Refer to the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP), OPNAVINST 4790.2, for detailed information of the duties and responsibilities of maintenance and production control. The most important function of maintenance control is to ensure that aircraft and equipment are maintained in the highest state of material condition of readiness. One program that is used to maintain aircraft and equipment in high states of material condition of readiness is the Planned Maintenance System (PMS). 4-1
