Plans material requirements to support the department workload. Furnishes technical advice and information to the supporting supply department about the identity and quantities of supplies and spare parts required to support the department workload. Establishes and maintains a Tool Control Program (TCP). Reviews allowance lists and the Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) for adequacy, and initiates action for revisions, as required. Ensures divisions assign qualified personnel for the completion of scheduled maintenance and inspections. Maintains close liaison with QA, particularly when maintenance changes major components. Maintenance control must inform QA when such changes occur. Validates the Not Mission Capable Supply/ Partial Mission Capable Supply (NMCS/PMCS) status listings each day. Validates work center VIDS display boards. Keeps the AMO advised of the overall workload and material situation as it affects the department. Ensures compliance with the Oil Analysis Program. Ensures compliance with the Hydraulic Contamination Program. Establishes departmental maintenance procedures for all support equipment (SE) for which the activity has IMRL reporting responsibility, and ensures such maintenance conforms with the SE Planned Maintenance System (PMS) and the Metrology and Calibration (METCAL) program. Develops an understanding of the Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS) concept and its application to management and automated data processing (ADP) requirements. Refer to the NALCOMIS User's Manual for specific details related to maintenance/material management. Provides pilots/aircrews with a record of aircraft discrepancies and corrective actions for the last 10 flights of the aircraft by maintaining the Aircraft Discrepancy Book (ADB). (Discussed later in this section and in chapter 1.) 7-2 Q4.  What work center manages and coordinates the overall production effort to maintain squadron aircraft in a mission-capable condition? Q5.  What division controls the daily workload and assign work priorities to the various work center supervisors? Q6.  What division is responsible for publishing a monthly maintenance plan? Q7.  What division is responsible for ensuring that aircraft undergo functional maintenance check frights as required? Q8. What division maintains the Aircraft Discrepancy Book? MAINTENANCE MEETINGS LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Define the purpose of the daily maintenance meeting. Without a doubt, the best tool for ensuring a smooth flow of information about maintenance between shifts and other supervisors is the daily maintenance meeting. The meeting allows all the supervisors within your department or division to brief the maintenance chief on the status of equipment, components, or aircraft that currently have ongoing work or are scheduled to have maintenance performed. It also allows maintenance control to coordinate time frames for sharing certain facilities, equipment, or electrical power requirements. In addition, these maintenance meetings may bring to the attention of the maintenance chief specific tasks that need items of material or equipment that may be difficult to obtain. It may also identify certain document numbers that require "hand massaging" by the supply chief. The maintenance chief can use the information obtained at the maintenance meetings to "plan ahead," such as obtaining support equipment that another squadron has checked out or coordinating a time period that the corrosion branch needs to paint or even reassign aircraft to the flight schedule. This allows specific maintenance to be performed on specific aircraft. Always remember that nothing happens to any aircraft without the maintenance chiefs approval. The maintenance chief releases the aircraft as "safe for flight." He/she MUST know what is happening on every aircraft at every moment. Q9. What is the primary purpose of the daily maintenance meeting?
