| 01956 | Current Month Maintenance Schedule Work Order Generation | MU | AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF | New | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
1. There is no ability for users to "force" a MX Schedule to generate a Work Order. There are times when users will have an asset in for unrelated work and will take the opportunity to work a scheduled inspection early (a.k.a. opportune maintenance). In the system's current state, they would have to manually create an inspection Work Order, then find that asset in the MX Schedule and either suspend that asset until its next cycle, or change the Asset Next Maint date.
2. There is no method to force inspection work orders to drop on the 1st of every month, regardless of the day due during that month. The present method of designating "Days Prior" for work orders to drop doesn't work since it is based on the Next Maintenance Date (actual day due) possibly dropping the work order in an entirely different month than the work is scheduled. This creates variables that complicate managing work load.
3. Changing the Next Maintenance Date is not a desirable option due to changing the official inspection record.
4. DPAS updates MX Schedule dates every 4 hours, this is not sustainable for Maintenance Activities that have hundreds of assets assigned to them.Recommended:
1. Add a feature to the MX Schedule Asset Assign screen where users can select one or more assets and click a button to generate a Work Order for the selected assets on the next system update. (see below)
2. Add a Check-box to Every X Days Maintenance Schedule frequencies of Months/Years labeled Periodic Inspection. If clicked, the MX Schedule will automatically schedule Work Orders to generate on the 1st day of the month due.
3. Remove the ability for users to change/update the Asset Next Maint date.
4. Move the update of Last Mant Date/Next Maint date to an event based action, so the dates immediately update when a Work Order is closed, to allow for 244s to be printed immediately.Mission Critical:
TO 00-20-1, Air Force Instruction 21-101
Benefits:
This will ensure we follow policy and Instructions and allow a true periodic inspection type, as opposed to the calender inspection type it is today, and allow efficient management of work load execution. The changes to the Next Maintenance Date will solve the issue with users having to change this date.
Removing or restricting the ability to change the Asset Next Maintenance Date will ensure assets are kept on a proper inspection cycle.
Moving to an event based Maintenance Schedule update will allow users to complete a job, immediately print a new 244 with the Work Order removed and the inspection dates updated, to keep in compliance and keep with ops tempo.Frequency: Daily

| 01955 | Partial Mission Capable (PMC) | MU | AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF | In Progress | Change Request: Process Improvement
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.

| 01954 | NMC Designations | MU | AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF | In Progress | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
Problem: Personnel and Equipment safety is at risk with current process. Multiple NMC conditions often exist simultaneously against a single asset. By restricting the NMC to one Work Order at a time there remains potential for users to clear the original NMC condition and not notice another work order with an NMC condition but not designated as NMC. They would report a false FMC, thus allowing an asset to be used while a potential safety condition still exists.
Current NMC process can skew metrics by only allowing one NMC Work Order at a time. To accurately document NMC time at base-level, when clearing one NMC work order for an asset and designating another work order as NMC, the NMC start time must be backdated to when the second NMC condition actually started. This actually results in double-counting total NMC time against a single asset.
Additionally, NMC Work Orders must currently be completed (Closed) to resolve NMC status. Only one sub work order may be driving the NMC status while other sub work orders, under the same work order, remain open. When the Sub Work Order is complete and the NMC condition is corrected, the NMC flag needs to be removed from the main Work Order, while keeping the overall Work Order open. AF policy requires validation by a certified supervisor that all NMC conditions have been resolved for a particular work order before the NMC status can be removed. Currently we add a sub-work order to accommodate this. Adding this capability to the work order itself will save time and allow more efficient and trackable documentation of this validation.Recommended:
NMC Changes
1. Allow multiple work orders for the same asset to be designated as NMC. Only report the overall start and end time the asset was labeled as NMC.
2. Move the NMC Status Field to Sub Work Order, and change to two selections "NMCM, NMCS." Create new Sub Work Order State Code labeled “NMC Cond. Resolved."
3. When all sub work orders with NMCM or NMCS are closed, auto-remove NMC flag from work order .
4. Add "Inspected By" field under Primary Tech - required for any Status other than MC.
5. Add "NMC" as a default column to Asset or Work Order inquiries.
Mission Critical:
TO 00-20-1, Air Force Instruction 21-103, 21-101
Benefits:
This process improvement will vastly reduce the current safety issues associated with human error and incidental oversight. Also, the added ability to flag more than one Work Order at a time as NMC will give a true holistic view of the status of support equipment across the enterprise with the added bonus of anchoring metrics in real time facts.
Adding the NMC status field as a default in inquires will give supervision the data needed to correctly prioritize work.

| 01950 | 244 Report | MU | AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF | Done | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
The current 244 extends the scheduled inspection (III) section to the second page if the equipment has more than 4 inspections and does not have a Supervisory Review Section. The text generated for some sections auto-filled are small text and hard to read due to the length of the description and no wrap text feature.
Recommended:
1. Remove the "Continued" portion of Section II and move the existing section III (Scheduled Inspection) up. Allow fixed 18 total rows in Section 3 allowing every other row to be filled with scheduled inspection data. Allow Text Wrap to increase font size for easier readability.
2. Immediately following section III, add "Section IV. Supervisory Review" section with 3 rows and 6 columns for users to write their Employee No./UserID and date.
3. The present Section IV. Discrepancy, will become Section V.Mission Critical:
T.O. 00-20-1 states that the supervisory review is a Group Commander option and currently, numerous bases require this review. AFI 21-101 also requires certain career fields to document a periodic Supervisory Inspection.
Benefits:
1. This will prevent certain equipment forms from unnecessarily printing out a 3 page form, wasting paper and ink.
2. The wrap text will allow larger font, making it easier to read in often less-than-optimal conditions.
3. Will allow documentation of Supervisory Reviews without having to create a maintenance schedule/work plan/work order for this simple task.Frequency: Daily
Users:
Thousands. This will be used by all AF users of M&U. Completed – Release 2023.4.1 – 06 October 2023
