Procedures for complying with the documentation of the component repair program are covered in OPNAV Instruction 4790.2 (NAMP). Repair requirements for organically repaired aeronautical components under the cognizance of NAVICP-Phil are managed under two programs. They are the level schedule program and the B08 cyclic repairable management program. Repairable components may be selected for the level schedule program based on the history of high volume of system demands and annual rework expenditures. The balance of organically repaired 7R and 6K COG components is managed under the B08 program. B08 Cyclic Repairable Management program Repair requirements for B08 items are computed weekly on a family basis and stratified into four distinct urgency-of-need levels. The levels of need are outlined in FASO Instruction 4440.98. The B08 program identifies a deficit of RFI items to the computed requirement and identifies this as a production requirement. The actual induction quantity that will be used to support this requirement is constrained by factors such as DRP capability, availability of NRFI items to be repaired, and the DRP capacity. Level Scheduling Program Level scheduling is similar to the B08 program except that the items covered under level scheduling are manually negotiated on a semiannual basis. This program sets the production levels at the naval aviation depots (NADEPs) for those items that are at critical stocking levels. Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Program FOD is damage to aeronautical equipment caused by an external object. Some examples of FOD are the ingestion of hardware or tools by a jet engine and tires cut by debris on the ramp, taxiway, or runway. FOD to aircraft, engines, support equipment, and other aeronautical equipment is a costly problem, the importance of which cannot be overstated. FOD presents personnel and material hazards, consumes valuable maintenance man-hours, imposes additional unscheduled workloads on both using and supporting activities, creates shortages, wastes dollars, and reduces operational readiness. A successful FOD prevention program depends on command support, personnel knowledge and awareness, and the degree of integration into the total maintenance effort. Most FOD can be attributed to poor housekeeping, facility deterioration, improper maintenance practices, or carelessness. Therefore, an effective program that identifies, corrects, and eliminates causal factors is very important. Tool Control Program The tool control program provides a means to rapidly account for all tools after completing a maintenance task, thus reducing the potential for FOD. A valuable benefit to this program is reduced tool loss, which reduces tool replacement costs. The primary objective of the tool control program is to improve flight safety by eliminating aircraft accidents, incidents, and associated equipment damage caused by lost or misplaced tools. Secondary objectives include the reduction of expenditures for additional outfitting and replacement of missing, defective, or pilfered tools; the reduction of man-hours for maintenance task completion; and a general improvement in the quality of aviation maintenance. The tool control program must provide instant inventory capability through internally configured tool containers, with each tool in individually tailored locations designed to highlight a missing tool. The Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV), through the aircraft controlling custodians (ACCs), is responsible for the implementation and management of the tool control program. Any request for deviation from established instructions must be addressed to the cognizant ACC via the chain of command. The material control officer coordinates the tool control program on the local level and is responsible for the procurement and issue control of all tools. Requirements for tool containers, controlling numbers, identification by etching on each tool, and special accounting procedures are identified in OPNAV Instruction 4790.2 (NAMP). Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Control/Prevention Program The ESD Program is the transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies at different electrostatic potentials caused by direct contact or induced by art electrostatic field. All areas where ESD items are handled, including supply storage areas and maintenance/production work centers, must have ESD safe areas. 4-6
