Study Notes
Maintenance Data Documentation (MDD) Concepts
- MDD is a system for documenting maintenance performed on equipment
- Data must be accurate and reliable, involving users and providers understanding the documentation concept.
- Key characteristics:
- Documentation categories (on-equipment, off-equipment)
- Data entry methods (scheduled/unscheduled maintenance, aircrew debriefing, onboard recording devices)
- Standard data codes in IMDS/REMIS/G081 to streamline data entry and computer processing.
- Documentation rules (Decision Logic Table - DLT) guide data entry based on repair location (on/off equipment), actions taken, and item recoverability. Rules are specified in tables for different types of maintenance.
Maintenance Actions and Documentation Rules
-
On-equipment maintenance involves maintenance performed directly on equipment without removing components.
- Examples: scheduled/unscheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, removing parts to facilitate other work, inspections, repair and replacement where parts aren't removed. (Data documented by AFTO form 349).
-
Off-equipment maintenance involves maintenance performed on removed components or assemblies (data documented by AFTO form 349).
-
Example of decision criteria in Table 3-3: determines whether an AFTO Form 350 is needed, based on if the item is recoverable, location of repair, and if reinstallation is performed before leaving the equipment.
-
Exceptions from MDD Reporting: Some maintenance actions don't require MDD reporting. Examples include weapon or support system maintenance within 6 months of phasing out, nuclear weapons maintenance, explosive ordnance disposal actions, administrative telephone plant maintenance, and systems with specific exemptions listed.
Data Entry and Responsibility
- Documentation is completed at base level; depot-level data is entered into REMIS or via a depot reporting tool.
- Workcenter supervisors are responsible for data validity. They must ensure data accurately reflects actions and complies with rules in chapter 8.
- Contractor maintenance data is input directly into REMIS, or via specific depot reporting tools (e.g., DRILLS/PDMSS) as specified in a particular contract. Manually prepared data must meet system edit criteria
Data Input to REMIS
- Repair centers are responsible for collecting all MDD (except in cases exempted by the prime management contracting agency or System Manager (SM)).
- Alternative local procedures or processes can be used in place of AFTO form 350, as long as serviceability and identification integrity is maintained.
- Specific instructions for data entry into REMIS can be found in the REMIS user manual.
Data Exemptions
-
Audiovisual equipment maintenance is exempt from MDD reporting. This applies to previously exempt AMC Aerospace Audio Visual Service (AAVS) activities.
-
Organizations wanting MDD exemptions must submit requests to the Major Command. These requests require a clear justification for the exemption and include details about the equipment involved (SRD) or organizational information, in case of organizational exemptions.
