Chapter 9 — MAINTENANCE 



a card in the workspace becomes lost or muti- 

 lated, a new card may be made from the master 

 set and can be used until a feedback report is 

 sent in and a new card obtained. 



A maintenance requirement card is one of 

 the principal components of the PMS with which 

 Sonar Technicians are concerned. Suppose that 

 on a Monday morning an individual looks at the 

 weekly schedule and finds that he is assigned 

 the maintenance action identified as M-14. The 

 weekly schedule indicates that this particular 

 maintenance action is listed on page SO-9 of 

 the PMS manual. The MRC that describes the 

 task assigned is identified by the number com- 

 bination SO-9, M-14 in the upper right corner. 

 In preparation for performing the assigned task, 

 MRC number SO-9, M-14 is selected from the 

 set of cards in the workspace. An MRC identi- 

 fies each component; gives the rate and time 

 required to perform the maintenance; gives 

 a brief description of maintenance required; 

 cites safety precautions to be observed; and 

 lists tools, parts, and materials needed to accom- 

 plish the task. This information is given to 

 enable personnel to be completely ready to 

 perform all prescribed maintenance before 

 actually working on equipment authorized. The 

 procedure described on the MRC is standardized, 

 and is the best known method of performing that 

 particular task. For purposes of time conserva- 

 tion, any related maintenance requiremsnt in- 

 cluded on the MRC should be done at the same 

 time or in conjunction with the assigned task. 



The 16-digit number on the lower right side 

 of the MRC is the bureau card control number. 

 This number also appears on the MIP. Each 

 MRC has a bureau card number, which must 

 be referred to in any correspondence concerning 

 the card. 



In some ships, two or more divisions may 

 have identical equipment. When duplication 

 occurs, each division retains separate (but identi- 

 cal) MRC cards for the equipment. 



Feedback Report 



A PMS feedback report, OpNav form 4700-7 

 (fig. 9-3) is designed for reporting any dis- 

 crepancies or suggested improvements in the 

 PMS as installed aboard ship. This report is 

 to be filled out by the man who discovers a 

 discrepancy or suggests an improvement. It is 

 signed by a designee of the commanding officer, 

 and is mailed via the type commander to an 

 appropriate field office listed on the reverse 

 side of the originator's copy of the form. Atlantic

Fleet ships use the Norfolk address; Pacific 

 Fleet ships send reports to the San Diego address. 

 When submitting a feedback report, be sure 

 it is filled out completely and legibly. If the 

 purpose of submitting a feedback report is to 

 correct a discrepancy, for example, on a main- 

 tenance requirement card, be sure the discrepancy 

 is clearly identified, and that the recommended 

 change is correct and readily understood. In- 

 structions for preparing the report are listed 

 on the back of the form.
