COMPONENT CONTROL SECTION The function of the CCS is to manage the LRCA held at the ASD/SSC. These assets consist of all supply assets in the ASD/SSC, whether they are held in the LRCA storage area, at the IMA undergoing work, sitting upon the shelf in AWP status. or being processed for shipment to a designated overhaul point (DOP). Local Repair Cycle Asset (LRCA) Storage Unit The LRCA storage unit receipts, stores, issues, and accounts for all repairable assets under the control of the CCS, including the rotatable pool. The LRCA allowance depends on an activity’s maintenance data report (MDR) usage data and average turnaround time (TAT). There are four workload priorities that can be assigned to a LRCA. Priority 1 is assigned to support NMCS/PMCS aircraft for requisitions held by supply. Also, priority 1 is assigned to 30-day predeployment requirements. Priority 2 is assigned for the repair of critical LRCAs and SE, in addition to organizational maintenance activity (OMA) work stoppage requirements. Priority 3 is assigned for the repair of noncritical LRCAs and SE. It covers the repair or manufacture of material for nonfixed allowance stock. Priority 4 is assigned for processing salvaged material and nonaeronautical work. If a squadron submits a requirement for a part and the LRCA has no assets, the CCS will dispatch a driver to your squadron to pick up the failed component. The driver will deliver the part to AMSU as an expeditious repair (EXREP). When the IMA can do the work, IMA inducts the expeditious repair component for overhaul under work priority 1. If IMA can put the part back in ready-for-issue (RFI) condition, the component will be delivered to the squadron immediately. The AMSU looks at similar components in work priority 3 for possible cannibalization to RF1 the EXREP component from the squadron. If the component cannot be overhauled by IMA due to lack of repair parts, the component is sent to the awaiting parts (AWP) unit. AWP Unit The AWP unit receives, stores, and controls all AWP components returned to the ASD/SSC from IMA because repair parts are not available. The AWP unit personnel requisition piece parts and maintain requisition files: registers, and records that are needed to monitor, follow up, expedite, recycle, and report material demand for component repairs. Q26. Q27. Q28. Q29. Q30. Q31. Q32. What are the two sections of the Aviation Support Division/Supply Support Center (ASD/SSC)? If apart is listed in the CRIPL, the maintenance activity has how many hours after receipt of the replacement component to furnish the unserviceable part? What items are maintained in the pre-expended bins (PEBs)? How often does supply review stock records for the PEB? What section of ASD/SSC manages local repair cycle assets? How many workload priorities can be assigned to a LRCA storage unit? If a squadron requisitions an NMCS component from supply and, except for the turn-in, the only other part on station is in the IMA for repair, what priority will be assigned to the component received from the squadron? SUMMARY You should now have an idea of the various jobs that some of the supply personnel perform and how the supply system works,   at least locally. More importantly, you should have an understanding of how important it is to accurately document part numbers and stock numbers. Ordering the wrong part not only costs your command money, it causes unnecessary delays in the repair of aircraft. When ordering replacement parts, take time to ensure accuracy and neatness. When in a hurry, that "Z" may look like a "2" or that "5" like an "S." Take your time and don’t be part of the problem. 3-24
