Air Force policy directs the use of Non-Mission Capable (NMC) work orders, however compliance is reliant on user selecting this option when generating work orders. NMC preference is available at the user level but no option is available to set this as Maint Program default.
Recommended:
Add Non-Mission Capable (NMC) as a Maint Program configuration option. When option is selected all new work order will open with NMC=Yes as the default with an error message if the asset has an open NMC work order. Open NMC work order "error message" will trigger users to close the current NMC work order or edit new work order to reflect NMC=No. This would function exactly the same as the current user preference, but give the Maint Director option to implement this default across the Maint Program and affect all work orders.
Mission Critical:
Critical to accurately capturing fleet readiness and meet Department of the Air Force policy mandates.
Benefits:
Change will improve NMC data accuracy and fleet readiness reporting.
Users:
This change will benefit all M&U users and agencies.
