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.
