CHAPTER 7 MAINTENANCE PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION As the workcenter or branch supervisor, you are directly responsible for the maintenance effort of your workcenter. The planning, scheduling, control and parts ordering are essential to its accomplishment. The factors that you must consider in maintenance planning are equipment status, operational requirements,  the  workload,  and  the  personnel  assets available to perform the job. PLANNED MAINTENANCE SYSTEM LEARNING  OBJECTIVES:  State  who  has the responsibility for managing PMS programs for   equipment   aboard   ship.   Identify   three considerations used to determine PMS procedures. The   Planned   Maintenance   System   (PMS)   is   a simplified,   yet   thorough   means   of   accomplishing preventive    maintenance    aboard    ship.    It    identifies maintenance requirements, and schedules maintenance actions  to  make  the  best  use  of  your  resources.  It increases economy and simplifies records. It improves management, workload planning, equipment reliability, and on-the-job training of shipboard personnel.    As    a    system,    however,    it    is    neither self-starting nor self-sustained, and careful supervision at all levels is required. PMS  procedures  and  how  frequently  the  actions should   be   done   are   developed   for   each   piece   of equipment    based    on    good    engineering    practices, practical  experience,  and  technical  standards.  These step-by-step procedures are published on maintenance requirement cards (MRCs). The cards contain detailed information on each maintenance requirement, such as who  (specific  rate)  should  perform  the  maintenance, and when, how, and with what resources. Some MRCs have   equipment   guide   lists   (EGLs)   to   identify   the locations   of   various   pieces   of   the   same   type   of equipment,  such  as  motors,  controllers,  valves,  life rafts, deck fittings, and hatches that are serviced at the same time. Keep   in   mind   that   PMS   actions,   as   preventive maintenance  actions,  are  the  minimum  maintenance actions  required  to  maintain  the  equipment  in  a  fully operable   condition.   If   PMS   actions   are   performed according   to   schedule,   they   will   allow   equipment operators    and    maintenance    personnel    to    identify possible  problems  before  equipment  failure.  Properly performed PMS actions will help prevent failures that could result in repeated corrective maintenance actions. PMS procedures are developed by the activities and offices  of  the  systems  commands  responsible  for  the development   and   procurement   of   the   systems   and equipment they control. PMS maintenance index pages (MIPs)   and   MRCs   are   developed   as   part   of   the Integrated    Logistics    Support    effort    for    all    new procurements, alterations, and modifications of systems and equipment. Management tools provided by PMS for each ship, department, and supervisor include the following:   Comprehensive  procedures  for  planned  main- tenance of systems and equipment   Minimum    requirements    for    planned    main- tenance   Scheduling and control of maintenance   Description of the methods, materials, tools, and personnel needed to perform maintenance   Prevention  or  detection  of  hidden  failures  or malfunctions   Test procedures to determine material readiness PMS, though standard in concept and procedures, is  flexible  enough  to  be  adjusted  by  the  ship  to  be compatible    with    operational    and    other    types    of schedules. DEPARTMENTAL MASTER PMS MANUAL A Departmental Master PMS Manual is maintained in   each   departmental   office   for   use   in   planning, scheduling, and supervising required maintenance. The information  contained  in  this  manual  pertains  only  to equipment for which the department is responsible. The Departmental    Master    PMS    Manual    contains    the following: 1.
