Evaluating the Ability of the Maintenance Data Collection System to Enhance the Air Force Munitions Product Assurance Program.

摘要

The Air Force munitions community is tasked by AFR 74-9 to maintain a product assurance program for munitions items. Presently, the DO56 Maintenance Data Collection System (MDC) used by munitions personnel has failed to provide the necessary information to maintain an Air Force product assurance program for munitions. This study determined what information is needed by the munitions community concerning the munitions maintenance activities at the unit level. This research concluded that MDC does supply useful information in this area. Problem areas dealing with code uses and lack of specific guidance are addressed and recommended solutions are made. An active Munitions Product Assurance Program requires the data supplied by the Maintenance Data Collection system. (Author)
