Description:
Problem: There is no ability to place an asset in a "Partial Mission Capable" (PMC) status.
There are times where an asset may have a condition that is severe enough to restrict use of certain equipment capabilities, but not enough to restrict all use. This is what is known as Partial Mission Capable (PMC). This is particularly crucial for equipment with multiple systems.
At this time, we're forced to identify an asset as NMC, when in reality it may still be usable for many functions.
Recommended:
1. On the Work Order Screen add a PMC Section below NMC with selections for Yes or No, If clicked, PMC Status Start Date will appear.
2. On the Sub-Work Order screen a PMC Status dropdown box should appear with two available selections "PMCM or PMCS." Allow for one Sub-Work Order to be set to PMCM and another be set to PMCS.
3. Just below the PMC Status drop down box, add a PMC Start Date, which will be required whenever the status is changed between PMCM or PMCS.
4. Add a new Sub Work Order Status Code named "PMC Cond. Resolved," which If selected, will allow for the PMC NO radial button to be selected on the Work Order Screen.
Mission Critical:
AFI 21-103
Benefits:
By adding a PMC option, technicians can alert others if certain aspects of the asset are unfit for use, while other functions are usable. Also, the addition of PMC gives a full holistic account of asset status and will give the most accurate report available to USAF leaders and decision makers.
