Study Notes

CEOER PM Program Management

CEOER manages the Preventive Maintenance (PM) program supporting Operations Flight
Responsibilities include inventorying, assessing, validating, balancing, optimizing, and scheduling PM across all shops, including contracted asset PM
Job Aids are provided in Appendix C for achieving various Capability Levels

PM Basic Capability

Compliant with 32 series AFIs
Inventory of Real Property/Real Property Installed Equipment (RP/RPIE) assets requiring PM, evaluated in Sustainment Management Systems (SMS)
Preventive Maintenance Task Lists (PMTLs) available for all PM-requiring assets
Balance available man-hours with PM requirements
Timely updates to TRIRIGA and SMS for inventory changes
Identify and obtain PM-required materiel
Metrics developed for basic PM completion rates
Monthly tasks: Verify all PM requirements are completed and loaded into SMS for TRIRIGA interface, verify data integrity, review/activate PM Job Plans and Work Tasks in TRIRIGA, and determine PM completion percentage
Quarterly tasks: Verify >25% of direct labor reporting is dedicated to PM, verify all PM-requiring assets have PMTLs, verify those without PMTLs are submitted to AF PM Program Manager, verify AF-PMTL usage versus RSMeans, verify multi-craft/shop PM synchronization, adjust PM for demolished facilities/infrastructure, verify all shop equipment PM is tied to a pseudo location, and confirm PM materiel is available
Additional tasks: Confirm CEOER activates/removes assets from TRIRIGA, and identify/resolve asset activation/deactivation backlog

PM Developing Capability

Formalized processes for assessing and improving resource balancing and optimization for PM schedules
Ensure all mandated life/safety inspections tied to PM schedules are performed, including contracted support
Identification and upload of localized PMTL requirements into job plans
Annual validation of the PM program
KPIs developed to assess maintenance history (asset condition, PM/CM ratios, ROI)
Stakeholder involvement (CEOER, shops, Sub-AMP/AMP managers) to enhance PM program objectives
Quarterly tasks: Assess completeness of RPIE/RP asset inventory, verify health & safety requirements, confirm shops prioritize man-hours for PM, and confirm local supplemental PMTLs
Annual tasks: Perform annual PM program validation, develop KPIs for CM/PM ratios

PM Matured Capability

Measure program against internal/external benchmarks (private sector, AF, other DoD installations)
Maintain full RP/RPIE asset inventory, and conditionally assess the inventory
Ensure the PM program remains balanced and optimized considering resources and asset condition
Identify and implement improvements in routing, multi-craft PM, and predictive materiel
Reliability-focused PM program; life-cycle cost assessment enabling requirements-based decision-making
Continuous measurement and improvement for repair vs. replace decisions, with sufficient lead time for facility projects
Semi-annual tasks: Verify risk matrix events (viability of PM requirements), and ensure the PM Program is balanced considering seasonality, zones, exercises, mission, overlapping PM requirements
Annual tasks: Ensure contracted shop support aligns with PM objectives, assess PM routing strategy for maximum efficiency and finalize plant operations/PM tasks

PM Job Aid Discussion

Section 1: Basic - Focuses on initial TRIRIGA implementation and data integrity, completion percentage of PM, and shop involvement
Section 2: Developing - Emphasizes developing asset inventory, health & safety requirements, man-hour prioritization for PM, and validation of the PM program. Ensuring all local shortfalls are addressed in the PMTLs
Section 3: Mature - Emphasizes risk matrix analysis of PM frequency for each asset, balancing PM across the year considering seasonality, zones, exercises, missions, and overlapping PM requirements, and the need to ensure contracted shop support is reflected in TRIRIGA for accurate PM history and cost tracking, and delineation of plant operations tasks from PM tasks.
