An Analysis of S-3 SDLM (Standard Depot Level Maintenance) Corrosion Documentation Procedures.
Abstract
When senior personnel in Naval aviation are asked the question, How much time and money are we spending on corrosion prevention and correction?, fairly accurate estimates can be obtained for the organizational and intermediate levels of maintenance because they break out these costs in their maintenance data reporting systems. It is virtually impossible to quantify these same costs at the depot level since their current reporting system will not allow for the collection of such information. A second problem, caused by this rather limited reporting system, concerns the inability of the depot level engineering staff to gather sufficient accurate information about the types, extent, and locations of corrosion that occur on aircraft. This report provides a system design and implementation plan for corrosion monitoring for the Naval Air Rework Facility at Alameda, California. A computerized system for corrosion data collection and processing is needed. Our research in this area led us to the Depot Maintenance Data System (DMDS).
