INSPECTED BY block. Contains the signature and rate of the quality assurance representative (QAR) or collateral duty inspector (CDI) who inspected the job for proper standards. Signatures are posted upon entry of an authorized log in and password. SUPERVISOR block. Contains the signature and rate of the work center supervisor (or his or her assistant) that indicates screening has been performed on the MAP and that the QA and tool control programs have been complied with. This field is accessed and completed through NALCOMIS’ electronic signature window upon entry of an authorized log in and password. MAINT (MAINTENANCE) CONTROL block. Contains the signature and rate of the maintenance control person who clears the discrepancy. NALCOMIS will electronically post the maintenance controller’s name via the electronic MAF signature window upon entry of an authorized log in and password. JOB CONTROL NUMBER field. Contains a 9-, 10-, or 11-digit alphanumeric code that identifies each individual maintenance action. The job control number is system generated upon initiation of some maintenance actions when NALCOMIS is used. The job control number is made up an organization code, a numeric Julian day, a serial number, and a suffix. ORG code—A three-character code that identifies the organization that originally assigned the job control number to the maintenance action. In the case of a maintenance action that is being performed on transient aircraft (Navy or non-Navy), the action organization code of the reporting custodian is always entered in block A08. For subcustody support equipment or support equipment in the custody of another department that requires repair by an IMA, the job control number that is assigned should reflect the organization code of the IMA. Day—The three-character numeric Julian day that specifies the day of the year. This day should reflect the day the job control number is assigned to the maintenance action, not necessarily the day work began on the maintenance action. For example, 9329 is the 329th day of 1999, or 25 November 1999. When used on the MAF as part of the job control number, the first position that identifies the year is omitted. SER (serial number)—The serial number is either a three-character number that runs from 001 to 999 (assigned in sequence) or an alphanumeric three-character code, such as A00 and A01. A00 and A01 are job control number serial numbers that designate the “Look” and the “Fix” portions of a scheduled inspection, respectively. SUF (suffix)—The suffix is an alphanumeric code that is added to the basic job control number. A suffix identifies a subassembly or sub-subassembly (component within a component) repair action that is performed independently of a major repair action. WK CTR (WORK CENTER) block. Contains the three-digit code of the work center that performs the maintenance action. STATUS (UP OR DOWN) block. Describes the status of the aircraft or equipment. If the discrepancy disables the aircraft or equipment, the aircraft or equipment is down (D). If the discrepancy does not make the aircraft or equipment totally inoperable, the aircraft or equipment is up (U). MODEX block. Usually contains the three-digit side number of the aircraft. PRI block. Used by IMAs to assign workload priorities. TURN-IN DOCUMENT block. Contains the Julian date and requisition document number on which the specific item was ordered from the failed/required material field to assist in local supply control. The Turn-In Document field is automatically assigned by NALCOMIS OMA. SYSTEM/REASON block. Contains a brief description of the reported discrepancy. MCN (MAF CONTROL NUMBER) block. Contains a serial number that is assigned to each maintenance action. The MCN is system generated under NALCOMIS. NALCOMIS Organizational Maintenance Activity (OMA) MAF Initiation Procedures NALCOMIS assists maintenance managers to control the maintenance effort. NALCOMIS uses video display terminal workstations in maintenance control and material control and in work centers to communicate information on the maintenance effort.
