Destroyer Engineered Operating Cycle (DDEOC), System Maintenance Analysis DDG-37 Class, Emergency Diesel Generating System SMA 37-208-312, Review of Experience.

摘要

The goal of the Destroyer Engineered Operating Cycle 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. System Maintenance Analyses (SMAs) are being conducted for selected systems of designated surface combatants. The principal element of an SMA is the Review of Experience (ROE)--an analysis of existing and anticipated problems that affect the operational performance or maintenance program of a ship system. Major conclusions resulting from the ROE for the Emergency Diesel Generating System are summarized as follows: Although a large corrective maintenance burden was reported against the Emergency Diesel Generating System, the burden does not represent any repetitive maintenance problems; Routine overhauls of Emergency Diesel Generating System components are not necessary and will not be required during baseline overhaul nor the follow-on regular overhaul, except as required by inspection; and The current maintenance strategy, a combination of scheduled and 'on-condition' maintenance requirements and required inspections, is adequate to maintain the Emergency Diesel Generating System throughout an extended operating cycle.
