of the part, the transaction is processed in the same manner as for non-inviolate aircraft. In some cases, the CNO will advise that a payback is required for the removed item. In this case, AMARC will advise the type, model, and series (TMS) and serial number from which the part was removed and initiate a payback requisition. FLEET-CONTROLLED MATERIAL The items designated as fleet-controlled material are under the distribution, reporting, requisitioning, rationing, and issue control of air type commanders or designated agents. These type commanders (TYCOMs) are the COMNAVAIRPAC, COMNAV- AIRLANT, CNATRA, and COMNAVRESFOR. The list of items included as fleet-controlled maybe found in the consolidated fleet-controlled material list (CFCML). Customers must submit requisitions for fleet-controlled items to NAVICP-Phil via Defense Automated Addressing System (DAAS). The retrograde material is processed according to the type commander’s directives and the MRIL. If the NRFI turn-in is beyond the repair capability of the activity, a beyond capability of maintenance (BCM) authorization is requested from the TYCOM via a naval message. When submitting the request to perform a BCM 4 actions, provide the following information to the TYCOM: l l l l National item identification number (NIIN) of required item(s) Document number(s) Quantity of material Latest status of the requisitions Refer to FASOINST 4000.7 for additional information concerning fleet-controlled material procedures. The procedures for rationing control of aeronautical material are described in the type commander’s instruction of 4470 series. AVIATION MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT TEAMS The mission of the aviation maintenance management teams is to advise and assist activities on a scheduled basis by identifying maintenance program deficiencies, recommending performance improve- ments, and providing training. This mission is viable in today’s increasing complex maintenance and material management programs. It has been expanded to involve upline commanders who are responsible and accountable for operational readiness, material readiness, and material support. To evaluate performance and identify areas needing improvement, activity performance levels must be established using statistical methods. The performance improvement process is based on a local plan and implementation of actions to achieve the objectives of the plan. To evaluate and assist activities in the performance improvement process, performance improvement teams and performance assistance teams are established at ACCs/TYCOMs. The ACC/TYCOM will schedule each activity to be inspected. Commanding officers may request the assistance of either team between regular scheduled times, if necessary. Performance Improvement Teams Generally, performance improvement teams consist of an aviation ground maintenance officer and various E-7, E-8, and E-9 Navy and Marine Corps aviation maintenance and supply personnel. Performance improvement teams inspect and evaluate an activity’s performance level and its ability to achieve CNO goals and objectives in areas of readiness, safety, and deployability. The evaluation includes the following: . An inspection of NAMP compliance . A performance level assessment based on measurements of efficiency, effectiveness, quality, budget status, innovation, quality of work life, and productivity . The effects of leadership on achieving mission accomplishment through optimum use of manpower, material, machinery, methods, and environmental factors . The level and quality of involvement among supporting and supported activities This evaluation is made while the activity is continuing routine operations and maintenance. All commands or organizational units within an activity’s operational and administrative chain, such as carrier air wings (CVWs), marine aircraft groups (MAGs), aircraft intermediate maintenance departments (AIMDs), and aviation support divisions (ASDs), attend the pre- and post-inspection briefings. Based on the findings, recommendations are submitted via the chain of command. 4-12
