Planned Maintenance System (PMS) Upgrade
Abstract
The Planned Maintenance System Management Information System (PMS MIS) is an upgraded web-based solution that tracks the status of all Maintenance Index Pages (MIPs) and Maintenance Requirements Cards (MRCs). This includes new and revised documentation allowing for Technical Feedback Report (TFBR) generation and tracking from initial reporting to problem resolution, management of activity documentation distribution information, document development history including Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) information and other data needed to support all forms of planned maintenance in the Fleet. PMS MIS will interface with authoritative configuration and logistics management databases allowing for Equipment Maintenance Plans (EMPs) to reflect actual ship or unit configuration. These EMPs will be created by ashore maintenance managers eliminating tailoring by ships' force. The upgraded PMS Scheduler (PMS SKED) is designed to consume configuration specific O-Level Maintenance Plans and MRCs by afloat platforms to ease administrative burdens associated with Force Revision processing and equipment to PMS associations. The existing processes require excessive sailor and shore expert administrative burden creating complex and ambiguous documents and extensive time to implement changes. As a result, improper execution of equipment maintenance can occur. Additionally, leadership lacks the tools to monitor program implementation and assure satisfactory performance. Furthermore, the existing processes do not support distributed and optimally manned ship concepts of operation such as those now used by the Naval Expeditionary Combat Command and the Littoral Combat Ship. The future PMS upgrade will provide visibility to shore maintenance leaders ensuring equipment is consistently scheduled throughout the fleet and execution issues are identified.
