Category B—This    category    (fig.    7-8)    is technical in nature. These FBRs are submitted by the ship's 3-M coordinator to the applicable TYCOM and pertain to the following: a. Technical  discrepancies  that  inhibit  PMS performance.    These    discrepancies    can exist in documentation, equipment design, maintainability, reliability, or safety procedures as well as operational deficiencies  in  PMS  support  (parts,  tools, and test equipment). b. Shift of maintenance responsibilities. Individual ships sometimes desire or need to  shift  maintenance  responsibility  from one workcenter to another, combine two or more   existing   workcenters,   or   split   an existing   workcenter.   Such   changes   can only be made with the approval of the type commander. When changes in maintenance responsibility are considered necessary, ship's personnel should submit a PMS FBR (category B) via the applicable TYCOM,   indicating   from   which   work- center(s) equipment is to be deleted and to which workcenter(s) it is to be transferred. All such FBRs are signed by the executive officer. Preparation of the PMS FBR The  FBR  is  prepared  and  submitted  according  to the instructions contained on its reverse side (fig. 7-9). REVIEW QUESTIONS Q1. What is Inactive Equipment Maintenance (IEM)? Q2. The workcenter PMS manual contains what requirements? Q3. What provide the detailed procedures used to perform a maintenance action? PMS SCHEDULES LEARNING    OBJECTIVE:    Describe    the types of information displayed on each of the following  PMS  schedules:  Cycle,  Quarterly, and    Weekly.    State    the    purpose    of    each schedule. PMS schedules are categorized as Cycle, Quarterly, and Weekly Schedules. CYCLE PMS SCHEDULE The  Cycle  PMS  Schedule  (fig.  7-10)  displays  the planned  maintenance  requirements  to  be  performed during the period between major overhauls of the ship; that is, from the first quarter after overhaul to the next first quarter after a ship's overhaul. For ships in phased maintenance or similar incremental overhaul programs and other short industrial availability programs, the first quarter   after   overhaul   is   the   quarter   immediately following completion of the docking availability. Cycle and  multi-month  requirements  need  to  be  scheduled during this time period. Any checks that have not been accommodated in this cycle period are front loaded into the new cycle schedule period. Content of the Cycle PMS Schedule The following information is found in the block/column indicated in figure 3-10:   Ship-The ship's name and hull number   Workcenter-The   applicable   workcenter   de- signator   Schedule Quarter After Overhaul As Indicated-The   annual,   semiannual,   multiple- month (4M and greater) maintenance requirements,    and    any    related    maintenance checks   to   be   completed   during   the   quarter indicated   Approval Signature/Date-The department head's signature and the date the Cycle Schedule was approved   Each   Quarter-Maintenance   that   is   performed every   2   weeks,   monthly,   every   2   months, quarterly   maintenance   requirements,   and   any related maintenance checks and situation requirements   regardless   of   periodicity   to   be completed during each quarter are listed in this column. Preparation of the Cycle PMS Schedule Cycle   PMS   Schedules   are   used   to   plan   and schedule  maintenance  requirements  to  be  conducted during each calendar quarter. Department heads devote considerable  attention  to  the  preparation  of  the  Cycle Schedule since these efforts directly affect long range 7-13
