Location The SSC/ASD should be located adjacent to maintenance areas to improve maintenance/ material support coordination. The physical location of the SSC/ASD may vary according to local geographic and facilities layout. Hours of Operation All the functional elements of the SSC/ASD must be manned and operational during the operating hours of all maintenance activities being supported. When maintenance is being performed 24 hours a day, then supply support is required 24 hours a day. Manning levels during other than normal working hours must be consistent with the support requirements and requisitioning processing standards. Personnel Assignments The normal station complement of personnel assigned to the SSC/ASD is provided by additional AK personnel assigned temporary additional duty (TAD) from squadrons to com- pensate for the added workload. Detailed directives for assigning AKs on a TAD basis are issued by the ACC/TYCOM. Response Standards Maximum elapsed response times are established for the issue of items available in local supply stock or furnishing the customer with requisition status on an automatic basis for not carried (NC) or not in stock (NIS) items. Response time starts when the requirement is placed in the SSC/ASD and stops when the requested material or status is received at the delivery point. These time standards are shown in table 5-1. Response time should be individually measured and maintained on a monthly basis for review by the supply officer.

Data is sequenced to expedite the daily validation process. Listings contain as a minimum the following information: l l l l l l l l l l A WP Document number Cognizant symbol (COG), material control code (MCC), national stock number (NSN), and special material identification code (SMIC) Unit of issue and quantity Project and priority Bureau number Nomenclature Status/routing identifier code (RIC) of activity submitting status Job control number (JCN) Work unit code (WUC) Originator code of requisitioner status is provided weekly to the AIMD on a mechanized listing and contains as a minimum the same information as the previous NMCS/ PMCS status listing, except the BUNO is replaced with the work center. SUPPLY RESPONSE SECTION The SRS is the single point of contact for recessing customer requirements and providing follow-ups and status as required. The SRS is divided into six units: requisition control unit (RCU), technical research unit (TRU), stock locator unit (SLU), material delivery unit (MDU), pre-expended bin (PEB) unit, and the program management unit (PMU). The SRS is responsible for processing material requirements, maintaining control, transmitting requests to other on-station supply processing points as required, delivering all parts and 5-7
