Maintenance Planning
The purpose of maintenance planning is to ensure that the system can be maintained effectively and economically at the desired level of readiness after it is placed in operational use. Maintenance planning ensures that all required maintenance assets are placed to support deployment.
Maintenance planning specifies when, where, and how maintenance tasks will be performed on the system, including both:
●
●
Preventative maintenance
Repairs
The military historically has three levels of maintenance:
●
Organizational — Personnel from the using unit make the repair.
●
●
Intermediate — The repair is completed at a facility in the fleet or field.
Depot — The repair is made at a major facility for repair by contractor or Government civilian personnel.
Manpower and Personnel
Manpower and personnel are the "spaces and faces" support element of acquisition logistics.
This element involves the identification and programming:
●
●
●
●
For military and civilian personnel
With skills and grades required to operate and support the system
Over its entire life cycle
In peacetime and war
Manpower refers to spaces (billets)—the number of people required for the mission.
Manpower planning is resource driven and must be considered in the PPBE process.
Personnel refers to faces—actual assigned people—civilians, officers, and enlisted personnel.
Personnel must meet certain education, training, skill, and other administrative requirements.
Together, manpower and personnel are the highest life cycle cost drivers.
