SUPPLY SUPPORT CENTER

The SSC, also referred to as the aviation support division (ASD), is the single contact point where material control centers of O- and I-level maintenance activities place requirements for material and equipment required for support of weapons system maintenance. The SSC/ASD is composed of two sections, the supply response section (SRS) and the component control section (CCS). The organization of the SSC/ASD is shown in figure 5-1.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The SSC/ASD officer is responsible to the supply officer for the performance of the center and acts as a direct liaison between the aircraft intermediate maintenance depot (AIMD) officer and the supply officer. The SSC/ASD is responsible for the following actions: l Receiving requirements for material in support of weapons system maintenance

. Performing technical research and preparing supply requisitions

. Delivering material to customers l Monitoring turn-in of repairable components due from both O-and I-level maintenance activities 

. Maintaining the local repair cycle asset (LRCA) storage areas and providing listings of available components to customers

. Establishing, maintaining, _and replenishing pre-expended bins (PEBs) and providing PEB listings to customers

. Coordinating with the AIMD to originate customer service requests with the NADEP l Initiating local expeditious repair (EX-REP) requests

. Maintaining awaiting parts (AWP) storage areas and establishing requisitions and follow-up procedures for required AWP piece parts . Expediting high-priority requisitions l Measuring supply response time

For detailed procedures for the responsibilities of each unit, refer to OPNAVINST 4790.2. volume III, chapter 14.

Location

The SSC/ASD should be located adjacent to maintenance areas to improve maintenance/ material support coordination. The physical location of the SSC/ASD may vary according to local geographic and facilities layout.

Hours of Operation

All the functional elements of the SSC/ASD must be manned and operational during the operating hours of all maintenance activities being supported. When maintenance is being performed 24 hours a day, then supply support is required 24 hours a day. Manning levels during other than normal working hours must be consistent with the support requirements and requisitioning processing standards.

Personnel Assignments

The normal station complement of personnel assigned to the SSC/ASD is provided by additional AK personnel assigned temporary additional duty (TAD) from squadrons to compensate for the added workload. Detailed directives for assigning AKs on a TAD basis are issued by the ACC/TYCOM.

Response Standards

Maximum elapsed response times are established for the issue of items available in local supply stock or furnishing the customer with requisition status on an automatic basis for not carried (NC) or not in stock (NIS) items. Response time starts when the requirement is placed in the SSC/ASD and stops when the requested material or status is received at the delivery point. These time standards are shown in table 5-1. Response time should be individually measured and maintained on a monthly basis for review by the supply officer.

5-7 Status Listings

Daily mechanized listings providing complete supply status for all NMCS/PMCS and anticipated NMCS are provided by the program management unit (PMU) to both the O- and I-level maintenance activities in sufficient quantity to ensure adequate distribution. Data is sequenced to expedite the daily validation process. Listings contain as a minimum the following information:

l Document number

l Cognizant symbol (COG), material control code (MCC), national stock number (NSN), and special material identification code (SMIC)

l Unit of issue and quantity

l Project and priority

l Bureau number

l Nomenclature

l Status/routing identifier code (RIC) of activity submitting status

l Job control number (JCN)

l Work unit code (WUC)

l Originator code of requisitioner

AW P status is provided weekly to the AIMD on a mechanized listing and contains as a minimum the same information as the previous NMCS/ PMCS status listing, except the BUNO is replaced with the work center.
