with the administrative management data they need to systematically repair or alter the ship's hull, installed equipment, or material. It identifies the backlog of deferred maintenance for each work center on computer printouts generated by the ship's MD S. Your ship's 3-M Coordinator will deliver a CSMP report to each work center on a regular basis. You, or someone in your work center, will be required to verify that your work center's CSMP is accurate and to update it if it isn't.

The MDS provides the means for gathering the information used in the CSMP. The success or failure of the CSMP system depends entirely on how accurate the information is and how supervisors and technicians use that information.
