publication deficiency report (TPDR), or hazardous material report (HMR) to ensure that it is accurate, clear and concise, and comprehensive before it is forwarded. Verify Maintenance Requirements Cards (MRCs) that are entered into the Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS), Organizational Maintenance Activity (OMA), or Support Equipment Standardization System (SESS) databases as changes occur to MRC decks. Perform inspections of all maintenance equipment and facilities to ensure compliance with fire and safety regulations. Provide a continuous training program in techniques and procedures that pertain to the conduct of inspections. Maintain a list of the current assignments of personnel who are qualified for specific QA responsibilities. When operating under NALCOMIS OMA, QA division should verify user LOGIN IDs against special maintenance qualification (SMQ) codes to ensure only qualified personnel have quality assurance representative (QAR) and collateral duty inspector (CDI) SMQ codes. MAINTENANCE MATERIAL CONTROL.— The MO may consider the tasks that are performed by maintenance material control a staff function. However, the maintenance material control officer (MMCO) exercises authority in a line position between the MO and production divisions. The MMCO is directly responsible to the MO for the overall productive effort and material support of the department. Maintenance/material control has two work centers-maintenance control and material control. Maintenance Control Work Center.—Main- tenance control is the nerve center of the entire maintenance department. As head of this office, the MMCO directs the production division with the aid of the maintenance control officer. The MMCO exercises control and coordination of production divisions to ensure prompt repair and movement of aircraft, parts, and materials. The MMCO also maintains liaison with supporting activities to keep the maintenance department’s productive capacity compatible with workload requirements. In discharging these responsibilities, personnel who are assigned to maintenance control perform the following functions: Collect, screen, and forward all MDS data to the local data services facility Maintain the command’s NALCOMIS system Provide data to management in graphic and narrative form to assist in the aircraft maintenance management process Maintain aircraft logs and records in accordance with established procedures Maintain aircraft and equipment status through the Naval Aviation Logistics Command M a n a g e m e n t  I n f o r m a t i o n  S y s t e m (NALCOMIS) Initiate maintenance actions through work centers for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance actions and assign priorities and completion times Plan and schedule aircraft and equipment through the entire maintenance process Plan, direct, and control the aircraft maintenance department’s production effort In the final analysis, maintenance control personnel plan, schedule, and provide positive control over all maintenance in support of assigned aircraft and equipment. Most of the tasks in maintenance control are within the scope of the AZ rating. For a complete list of maintenance control responsibilities, refer to the NAMP and the NALCOMIS End User’s Manual. Material Control Work Center.—To maintain an effective aircraft maintenance program, a cooperative working relationship must exist between production and supply. Maintenance of complex weapons systems requires an adequate material supply program. A material control center in organizational maintenance level activities is the liaison between the maintenance department and the local aviation supply department (ASD). The material control work center ensures that parts, tools, and materials are available to production divisions in a timely manner. Material control compiles and analyzes maintenance usage data and furnishes technical advice and information to the local ASD. This information is used to identify the quantity of supplies, 1-8
