    Study Notes

    MDD Process Overview

    • The MDD (Maintenance Data Documentation) process encompasses the entire lifespan of an asset, starting with its deployment and continuing through operations.
    • Its goals are to collect, store, and retrieve maintenance data from different levels (base, depot, contractor), including discrepancies.
    • This data serves USAF equipment maintenance, reliability/maintainability programs, and maintenance management systems.

    MDD Scope

    • The scope includes all AFI 21-series and MAJCOM functions.
    • Maintenance of training equipment reported in the SRD (Standard Reporting Designator) table is included.
    • Contractors maintaining MDD-reportable equipment are included (contract renewals must cover maintenance).
    • Historical documentation and reporting rules apply to direct labor, equipment maintenance, serial items, peculiar maintenance, and Time Change Items (TCIs).
    • Specific Air Force documents, user manuals, and MAJCOM guidance specify additional rules.
    • The process covers aircraft, spacelift assets, space ground stations, mobile stations, radar systems, cruise missiles, and ICBMs.
    • Drones, engines, C-E (Communications-Electronics) systems (including cyberspace and cyber-equipment), C-E Meteorological equipment, Support Equipment (SE), Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE), training devices, Nuclear Ordnance Controlled Material (NOCM), Reentry Vehicles/Systems (RV/RS), and RPIE (Real Property Installed Equipment) are excluded.
    • Separate TOs (Technical Orders) govern specific equipment types (e.g., TO 21M-1-101 for Air-to-Air/Tactical Missiles).
    • Air Force PMEL and AFMETCAL utilize specific TOs for documentation and reporting.
    • Cyberspace weapon system units use specific TOs.
    • AFLCMC uses Remedy’s system for cyberspace weapon systems.

    MDD Guidance

    • The TO provides guidance for using/operating MDD.
    • Documentation rules cover weapon systems, support systems, and equipment reported by the equipment manager (based on MICAP/MDD/TCTO settings).
    • Explains systems like IMDS CDB, FEMS, G081, REMIS, ATE, CEMS, and RAM/TMRS.
    • Newly developed systems must meet portfolio management requirements.

    Data Management

    • Data entry uses multiple systems (with their specific procedures outlined in system documentation).
    • All systems must follow basic data element and entry rules as outlined in this TO.
    • Documentation must be accessible via AFCEDS (Air Force Center for Electronic Distribution of Systems).
    • Users must exclude classified information.
    • MAJCOMs provide guidance for deployments or contingencies to prevent operational security breaches.
    • Data is handled according to AFPD 16-14, Security Enterprise Governance.

    Data Usage

    • On-Site: Base-level maintenance data provides feedback to base managers for maintaining operations. This includes production info (what/where/on what), schedules, inventory, and labor costs (detailed/summary). Data also encompasses equipment failures and discrepancies. MDD also manages configuration status of equipment. Cost information (excluding C-E and ICBMs) is available from AFTOC, found in Chapter 2 of this TO. Managers can view like equipment data at other bases via REMIS.

    • Off-Site: Data within MDD supports AF and MAJCOM programs.

    • AFMC's responsibilities include identifying reliability, maintainability, and availability problems; prioritizing improvements; accounting for modifications and assessing effectiveness. It also validates inspections, calibrations, spares, depot maintenance, external reports, AMC & ANG billing, TCTO requirements, warranty compliances, and configuration control.

    • AFMC data is shared with HQ USAF, other DoD branches, and MAJCOMs to aid in program management and reporting.

    • AFMC also shares data concerning equipment performance/support with industry for new system development.

    • Historical MDD man-hours are used for repair time/cost decisions. Work centers should not inflate repair actions to account for personnel, as this data impacts other management decisions.

    Data Accuracy

    • Accurate data is critical.
    • Daily review of entered data by supervisors is required to ensure accuracy and completeness.
    • Data validation through tables is used before entry.
    • All MDD systems must use consistent front-end edits for input accuracy.
    • Supervisors ensure data correctness, reflecting actual events.

    Data Edits and Standard Tables

    • REMIS provides edit tables (action taken, command, malfunction details, discovery time, maintenance type, work codes, MJSNs, SRDs) for field MIS systems.
    • REMIS tables override conflicts if there are discrepancies between published tables. Further details on conflict resolution are in section paragraphs 4.1 through 4.1.2

    Benefits

    • Improved reliability, maintainability, and availability of Air Force equipment are key benefits.
    • Cost savings are a large benefit, although not always directly apparent to those who document the data.

    Automated MDD Systems

    • Automated systems utilize manuals/directives for data input.
    • Manual data entry is used if automated systems aren't available, yet still must comply to this TO's goals.
    • Accurate data collection and appropriate documentation of maintenance is still required regardless of automation.
