Support Equipment (SE) Reclamation

This program applies to NAVAIRSYSCOM/ NAVICP Philadelphia-managed support equipment items, included in the support equipment candidate list developed by NAVICP-Phil and NAVAIRSYSCOM, which have been designated as candidates for survey by the repair depot.

Emergency Removal

When required, NAVICP-Phil may pass to AMARC a fill or kill requisition requesting removal of a part from a stricken or non-inviolate aircraft in storage. Upon receipt of the request, AMARC determines if the material or substitute is available, In case of a substitute, NAVICP-Phil will determine if the item is acceptable. If the requisition is filled, AMARC provides the shipping information of the material to NAVICP-Phil.

When NAVICP-Phil desires removal of a part from an inviolate aircraft, an authorization must first be obtained from CNO. If the CNO authorizes the removal

of the part, the transaction is processed in the same manner as for non-inviolate aircraft.

In some cases, the CNO will advise that a payback is required for the removed item. In this case, AMARC will advise the type, model, and series (TMS) and serial number from which the part was removed and initiate a payback requisition.

FLEET-CONTROLLED MATERIAL

The items designated as fleet-controlled material are under the distribution, reporting, requisitioning, rationing, and issue control of air type commanders or designated agents. These type commanders (TYCOMs) are the COMNAVAIRPAC, COMNAV-AIRLANT, CNATRA, and COMNAVRESFOR. The list of items included as fleet-controlled maybe found in the consolidated fleet-controlled material list (CFCML). Customers must submit requisitions for fleet-controlled items to NAVICP-Phil via Defense Automated Addressing System (DAAS). The retrograde material is processed according to the type commander's directives and the MRIL. If the NRFI turn-in is beyond the repair capability of the activity, a beyond capability of maintenance (BCM) authorization is requested from the TYCOM via a naval message. When submitting the request to perform a BCM 4 actions, provide the following information to the TYCOM:

l National item identification number (NIIN) of required item(s)

l Document number(s)

l Quantity of material

l Latest status of the requisitions

Refer to FASOINST 4000.7 for additional information concerning fleet-controlled material procedures. The procedures for rationing control of aeronautical material are described in the type commander's instruction of 4470 series.

AVIATION MAINTENANCE

MANAGEMENT TEAMS

The mission of the aviation maintenance management teams is to advise and assist activities on a scheduled basis by identifying maintenance program deficiencies, recommending performance improvements, and providing training. This mission is viable in today's increasing complex maintenance and material management programs. It has been expanded

to involve upline commanders who are responsible and accountable for operational readiness, material readiness, and material support. To evaluate performance and identify areas needing improvement, activity performance levels must be established using statistical methods. The performance improvement process is based on a local plan and implementation of actions to achieve the objectives of the plan. To evaluate and assist activities in the performance improvement process, performance improvement teams and performance assistance teams are established at ACCs/TYCOMs. The ACC/TYCOM will schedule each activity to be inspected. Commanding officers may request the assistance of either team between regular scheduled times, if necessary.

Performance Improvement Teams

Generally, performance improvement teams consist of an aviation ground maintenance officer and various E-7, E-8, and E-9 Navy and Marine Corps aviation maintenance and supply personnel.

Performance improvement teams inspect and evaluate an activity's performance level and its ability to achieve CNO goals and objectives in areas of readiness, safety, and deployability. The evaluation includes the following: . An inspection of NAMP compliance . A performance level assessment based on

measurements of efficiency, effectiveness, quality, budget status, innovation, quality of work life, and productivity

. The effects of leadership on achieving mission accomplishment through optimum use of manpower, material, machinery, methods, and environmental factors . The level and quality of involvement among

supporting and supported activities

This evaluation is made while the activity is continuing routine operations and maintenance. All commands or organizational units within an activity's operational and administrative chain, such as carrier air wings (CVWs), marine aircraft groups (MAGs), aircraft intermediate maintenance departments (AIMDs), and aviation support divisions (ASDs), attend the pre- and post-inspection briefings. Based on the findings, recommendations are submitted via the chain of command.

Performance Assistance Teams

Performance assistance teams are available upon request or as directed by the ACC/TYCOM to provide assistance and training to activities in evaluating and improving their performance levels. This assistance includes techniques in performance measuring, strategic planning, and removal of roadblocks hindering mission accomplishment. The teams will conduct an in-depth performance evaluation of the activity. While assisting an activity, supporting and supported activities are usually included. The teams identify performance improvement opportunities and assist in implements- tion of performance improvement actions.

AVIATION DEPOT LEVEL REPAIRABLE (AVDLR) MANAGEMENT

Strict compliance to procedures is a must during the requisitioning, turn-in, and carcass tracking process of AVDLRs. Managing repairable material has become increasingly important to the Navy. While the number of consumables managed by the Navy has declined, the number of repairable has increased. Because most repairable items are high cost, intensive management is required.

A two-priced structure was established for DLRs. hey are the standard price and net price. The price charged depends on whether or not there is a related NRFI turn-in. The standard price is charged if there is no turn-in available. The net price is charged for DLR requisitions that have a turn-in. The net price includes the repair cost, replacement fee (for condemned turn-in), and surcharges. The difference between the two prices is the carcass value. The Management List-Consolidated (ML-C) information of the Federal Logistics (FED LOG) data on compact disc contains the prices of DLR items.

REQUISITIONING

Depot level repairable (DLRs) are designated Appropriations Stores Account (APA), Navy Stock Account (NSA), or interim supported based on the cognizance symbol assigned.

In general, each requisition for an NSA DLR will require a creation of a financial obligation of end-use funds. The following transactions do not require an obligation of end-use funds: l Stock replenishment requisitions for Special

Accounting Class (SAC) 207 units that have not converted to end-use

l Re-AVCAL, re-SHORCAL, re-COSAL requisitions for activities using end-use procedures

Price Obligation

The price obligated is the net price when an exchange turn-in is or will be made. The standard price will be obligated when there is no turn-in. The APA and interim support DLRs are requisitioned at standard price but do not require a financial obligation. Both

APA and interim support DLR requisitions do not result in an expenditure of end-use funds.

Use the Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP) when ordering DLRs from the supply system. Requisitions from an end-user maybe submitted by using a DD Form 1348 (6 pt), NAVSUP Form 1250-1, or electrical means (computer). The common method of submitting requisitions off station or off ship is by message via DAAS. High priority requisitions may be transmitted by telephone.

Advice Codes

An advice code is a mandatory entry in requisitions for DLR items. The advice codes used for requisitioning DLRs are 5A, SD, 5E, 5G, 5R, 5S, 5V, 5W, 5X, 5Y, 52,53,54,56, and 57. The definition of these advice codes are listed in NAVSUP P-437, NAVSUP P-485, and NAVSUP P-545. Requisitions that are submitted with invalid or missing advice codes will be rejected with status code RK.
