Backlog of Maintenance and Repair (BMAR) at PWC San Diego Definition and Methodology for Reduction.

Abstract

For many years the Naval Shore Establishment has experienced funding shortfalls in the area of real property maintenance. As a result, the Backlog of Maintenance and Repair (BMAR) projects has increased at a steady rate with the total now approaching 550 million dollars. There was growing concern at the CNO and Congressional levels that maintenance deficiencies have significantly reduced the Navy's capability to meet its national defense mission. This thesis explores the Public Works Center, San Diego BMAR in some detail addressing such areas as definition, generation, accuracy, and true magnitude. Once this concept has been fully developed, long range facilities maintenance planning, including potential fund sources and programs which could be utilized in reducing the BMAR to zero are explored. Lastly, the question of minimum cost of ownership is discussed with a viewpoint toward identifying a reasonable annual maintenance funding level which will prevent the growth of any BMAR.
