Problem: Customers do not have the capability use M&U maintenance processes unless and asset is in the PA catalog/property book.  However, we also document periodic inspections and maintenance on non-accountable (primarily ERRC XB/XF) assets, many of which are safety critical or require periodic inspections to monitor serviceability.  Lack of capability to use M&U for these assets is driving the use of multiple other systems across the AF, in some cases this is the only reason the other system is being sustained for use.  We have functional communities desiring to use DPAS M&U, but are resistant without the ability to enter non-accountable assets.

 

Create a separate stand-alone M&U Catalog for the non-accountable assets. Assets will be visible only to the Maintenance Activity that created the record and no linkage with any other catalog is desired.  All identifying information will be entered manually by the user inputting the asset.  Asset ID assignment must be unique, recommend Asset ID prefix of "MUCAT".  Customers will need the ability to add/delete assets without affecting the other catalog(s).

The ability to track maintenance on non-accountable assets being used for maintenance of weapons and weapon system will increase accuracy and contribute to elimination of multiple systems presently used for this purpose.  It will also help capture an accurate picture of what is being used or consumed in maintaining AvSE.
