Destroyer Engineered Operating Cycle (DDEOC). System Maintenance Analysis, DDG-37 Class Main Propulsion Boilers, SMA 37-108-221. Review of Experience.

摘要

The goal of the Destroyer Engineered Operating Cycle (DDEOC) Program is to effect an early improvement in the material condition of ships, at an acceptable cost, while maintaining or increasing their operational availability during an extended operating cycle. In support of this goal, System Maintenance Analyses (SMAs) are being conducted for selected systems and subsystems of designated surface combatants. The principal element of an SMA is the Review of Experience (ROE). This report documents the ROE for the DDG-37 Class Main Propulsion Boilers. The ROE is an analysis of existing and anticipated problems that affect the operational performance or maintenance program of a ship system. The ROE report serves as a vehicle for assessment of the significance and consequence of identified problems. It also presents specific recommendations and a system maintenance policy for preventing or reducing the impact of problem occurrence while improving material condition and maintaining or increasing system availability throughout an extended ship operating cycle. The Main Propulsion Boilers ROE included an analysis of all available maintenance data sources. The documented maintenance experience of the system was reviewed through analysis of Maintenance Data System (MDS) data, Casualty Reports (CASREPs), and system overhaul records.
