c. MIPs. MIPs are prepared and issued for each installed system/equipment for which PMS support has been established. MIPs are basic PMS reference documents. Each is an index of a complete set of Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRCs) applicable to a ship system, subsystem, or equipment. MIPs (see Figures 1- 2, 1-3, and 1-4) contain the following information:
(1) SYSCOM MIP Control Number. Three SYSCOM MIP control numbering systems have been developed based on changing PMS philosophy and are currently in use. These are Conventional, Surface Missile System (SMS), and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM).
(a) For Conventional MIP cataloging, a four segment code is used. The first segment identifies the equipment group and may contain from one to four characters followed by a dash (-). The second segment identifies a specific subgroup/component number within an equipment group and may contain from one to four characters followed by a slash (/). The third segment identifies a distinct version within that equipment subgroup and may contain from one to three characters followed by a dash (-). The fourth segment contains two characters identifying the month and year the MIP was prepared Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-12 (in all SYSCOM MIP control numbers, 1 through 9 are used for the months January-September and letters A through C for the months of October-December; the final character is a number indicating the last digit of the year).
(b) For SMS MIP cataloging a three segment code is used. The first segment identifies the equipment group and contains seven alpha-numeric characters followed by a slash (/). The second segment identifies the equipment configuration and contains three characters [if first character is "U", this is unscheduled maintenance (UM); otherwise this is scheduled maintenance] followed by a dash (-). The third segment contains two characters which identify the month and year the MIP was prepared.
(c) For MIPs developed using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis concept a three segment code is used. The first segment contains four numeric characters followed by a slash (/) and identifies the system or functional grouping of items on which the maintenance procedures provided by this MIP are to be performed. The numeric characters in this segment are normally the same as the Ship Work Authorization Boundary (SWAB) number. The second segment identifies the sequence of maintenance requirements development for this functional grouping or system, and may contain from one to three characters, followed by a dash (-). The third segment contains two characters which identify the month and year the MIP was prepared (see Figure 1-2)
(d) Preliminary MIPs are identified by a "P" code and number following the slash of the SYCOM MIP control number (see Figure 1-5). The third segment contains two characters which identify the month and year the MIP was prepared.
(2) Date. Preparation date of the MIP by month and year.
(3) Ship System, System, Subsystem, or Equipment. Description of equipment by noun name/AN nomenclature/Mark, Mod.
(4) Reference Publications. Those publications pertaining to the system, subsystem, or equipment.

SECTION 1 1-20 1-5.2 Use of the PMS Master File The PMS Master File is maintained by the 3-M System Coordinator. Information contained in the master will pertain to all equipment for that organization. The organization's PMS requirements (MIPs/MRCs) for specific equipment, and additional supplementary information is provided by FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC on CD- ROM for the purpose of duplicate issue. The CD-ROM does not contain all of the PMS Master File data requirements (refer to paragraph 1-5.1). Any changes received between CD-ROM distributions must be retained on file until the changes are reflected on an updated CD. 1-5.3 Work Center PMS Manual The Work Center PMS Manual reflects that portion of the PMS Master File that contains only the planned maintenance requirements applicable to a particular Work Center. It is designed to provide a ready reference of planned maintenance requirements for the Work Center Supervisor, and will be retained in the working area near the Weekly PMS Schedule. 1-5.4 Maintenance Requirement Card (MRC) MRCs (see Figure 1-6) provide detailed procedures for performing maintenance requirements and describes who, what, how, and with what resources a specific requirement will be accomplished. MRCs contain the following information and instructions:
a. Date. This block contains the month and year when the MRC was prepared.
b. MRC Code. The code assigned to the MRC consists of two parts. The first part of the MRC code is the MIP series code. MRCs applicable to more than one MIP series will have each MIP series entered in this block. If more than four MIP series are applicable, reference will be made to a note in the procedure block. The second segment is the maintenance requirement periodicity code. The only authorized periodicities are as follows:
Periodicity Codes
D - Daily Q - Quarterly 2D - Every 2nd day S - Semiannually 3D - Every 3rd day 9M - Every 9th month W - Weekly A - Annually 2W - Every 2nd week xM - Every x months Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B 1-21 Periodicity Codes
3W - Every 3rd week "x"= number of months M - Monthly 2M - Every 2nd month
NOTE:
An asterisk (*) following the periodicity code indicates a Safety of Ship item and requires the ship/or user to comply with reference (e).
Maintenance requirements with calendar periodicity’s greater than every 60 months may be developed for applicable ship classes in extended operability programs up to the length of the maintenance cycle. These periodicity’s must be evenly divisible by six months (i.e., 66M, 72M, 78M, 84M, etc.).
Non-Calendar Periodicity
R - Situation Requirement U - Unscheduled Maintenance
Inactive Equipment Maintenance (IEM)
LU - Lay-Up PM - Periodic Maintenance SU - Start-Up OT - Operational Test
The periodicity code also includes a number for specific identification. When more than one MRC of the same periodicity exists in the same MRC set, the MRCs in most cases, will be numbered consecutively, e.g., "D-1," "D-2," "D-3," or "M-1," "M- 2," etc. An existing MRC may be reapplied to a revised MIP even though the periodicity code of the reapplied MRC may not fall within the normally sequential numeric periodicity codes. For example, W-1, W-2, W-3, W-6 may appear on a MIP, where W-6 was an existing MRC that was reapplied to this equipment. Technically, valid MRCs will not be reprinted merely to change the periodicity code number. Non-sequential numbers will not affect scheduling or management control.
Dual periodicity codes are used when configurations or utility differences of a permanent nature exist between installations of the same system or equipment. A dual periodicity code may be assigned if no other aspect of the MRC requires modification to fit both periodicities. For example, equipment installed in an Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-22 SSN or in a surface unit may see daily use, while the same equipment installed in an SSBN may be idle for long periods of time, creating a situation where it is unnecessary to perform the described maintenance as frequently. In this case, a dual periodicity code such as M-1/Q-1 or Q-1/S-2 may be assigned. When a dual periodicity code is assigned, a note on the MIP and MRC will specify which periodicity code to schedule.
Situation requirement codes may be used with a calendar periodicity code in certain circumstances. These situations apply when both the situation and the calendar periodicity govern the scheduling of the requirement. Examples include:
(1) (M-1R): Monthly or every 600 operating hours, whichever occurs first.
(2) (W-3R): Weekly or after each use, whichever occurs first.
(3) (S-1R): Semiannually or during each upkeep period, which ever occurs first.
(4) (Q-1R): Quarterly or prior to getting underway, whichever occurs first.
(5) (R-1W): When a situation occurs, accomplish weekly.
When the periodicity code includes a situation requirement (e.g., R-1D, R-1W) a note of explanation is required in addition to the basic code. This note shall be the first entry in the procedure block.
Unscheduled maintenance requirements are those documented actions required to restore a system/equipment to an operational condition within predetermined tolerances or limitations. Unscheduled maintenance requirements evolve from system/equipment failures or other indications of system/equipment degradation, and include alignment, adjustment, and repair. Unscheduled maintenance procedures are described on unscheduled MRCs (see Figure 1-7), and listed on appropriate MIPs.
c. Location. This block contains the specific location, EGL, or TYCOM authorized check off list detailing equipment location. Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B 1-23 d. Ship System, System, Subsystem, and Equipment. Identification of the ship system (functional group), system, subsystem, or equipment involved.
e. Rates. Identifies the recommended skill level of the person(s) considered capable of performing the maintenance requirements. Qualified personnel other than the rate/rating specified may be assigned. When an NEC is assigned, substitution of other personnel is not allowed with the exception of civilian personnel whose Position Description (PD) requires the performance of PMS. Civilian personnel must be qualified through the 3M Personnel Qualification Standard (PQS) and are authorized to perform maintenance actions associated with their PD. This includes the performance of Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRCs) that require specific NECs, providing they are qualified for the specific equipment through PQS or a Job Qualification Requirement (JQR).
f. Man-Hours (M/H). The average time per equipment required of each rate listed in rates block to perform the maintenance, listed in hours and tenths of an hour. When more than one person in the same rate is required and time requirements are equal, M/Hs listed are the sum of their requirements. When more than one person in the same rate is required and time requirements are not equal, M/Hs are listed for each person separately. Total M/H is the sum of all entries in the M/H block, not including time for tool preparation and return, tag out, or time needed for removal and/or replacement of interference.
g. Maintenance Requirement Description. A brief definition of the PMS action to be done.
h. Safety Precautions. A listing of those precautions and references which direct attention to possible hazards to personnel while doing maintenance.
i. Tools, Parts, Materials, Test Equipment.
(1) Standard PMS Item Name (SPIN) numbered Tools, Parts, Material, and Test Equipment. Test equipments, materials, parts, tools, and miscellaneous requirements necessary for the maintenance action are listed and categorized in order (see Figure 1-6). Items within the category are numbered and identified by the applicable SPIN number in brackets. Entries in this block can be referenced to the Standard PMS Materials Identification Guide (SPMIG) for stock Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-24 number identification. Stock numbers are also listed in the Hazardous Materials User's Guide (HMUG) for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The five basic categories are as follows:
(a) Category I-Test Equipment. Category I is used only for Portable Electric/Electronic Test Equipment (PEETE) listed in the Test Equipment Index (TEI), NAVSEA-TM- STOOO-AA-IDX-010/PEETE. All items are assigned a Sub-category (SCAT) code, which groups test equipment models having the same test capability into one code. Aboard ship, the Ships Portable Electrical/Electronics Test Equipment Requirements List (SPETERL) establishes allowances for PEETE within each SCAT code. MRC test equipment requirements are synchronized with the SPETERL.
(b) Category II-Materials. Materials include a wide range of administrative and housekeeping items, which may not be consumed entirely. Some consumable items (grease, oils, solvents, etc.) are consumed each time the maintenance action is performed, whereas, others (buckets, funnels, ladders, etc.) are not.
(c) Category III-Parts. Parts are defined as any items, which are an integral part of the equipment. For example: gaskets, mechanical seals, packing material, O-rings, filters, etc. The medium for identification of PMS part requirements in the Navy Supply System is the Allowance Parts List (APL). Ship unique repair parts are not listed in the SPMIG.
(d) Category IV-Tools. Category IV covers common hand tools of all types except "special tools."
(e) Category V-Miscellaneous. Category V covers all equipage items as well as any other special tools/materials not otherwise covered under categories I through IV. As a general rule, all items, which are identified and supported through Allowance Equipage Lists (AELs), will be considered Category V. Special tools are equipment-unique tools that are designed for a particular piece of equipment by the manufacturer. Such tools always have a manufacturer's part number and Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE). Per NAVSEASYSCOM/Naval Supply Systems Command (COMNAVSUPSYSCOM) policy, special tools will be listed on the APL and are, therefore, classified as repair parts. Equipage items are Category V even though some may be used as a tool; for example, jacking gear. Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B 1-25
(2) Non-SPIN Tools, Parts, Materials, Test Equipment. Stock numbers, manufacturer's instructions, etc., for entries not covered by the SPIN/SPMIG or GPEETE Index are identified on the MRC.
j. Procedure. This block details the sequence of steps to be followed in performing the maintenance action. Reference to other approved procedures may be included on the MRC. As data may vary between ships, the MRC may contain blanks in which ship's company must supply the data necessary to properly do the work, e.g., pressure settings, temperature settings, brush tension, limiting speed, tolerances, and levels. The necessary data can generally be found in the equipment/system technical manual, ship's information book, ship's and equipment drawings, Naval Ships' Technical Manual, or Operational Sequencing System (OSS). If the data necessary to fill in the blanks is not available to ship's company, a PMS Feedback Report requesting the required data should be submitted.
Safety precautions will be listed prior to applicable steps and/or procedural actions. Specific categories are:
(1) Warning: Death or injury may result if the operating/handling procedures and practices are not correctly followed.
Warning text should be listed in the safety precautions' block and will be repeated preceding the procedure involved.

NAVSEAINST 4790.8B 1-29 1-5.5 Equipment Guide List (EGL) The EGL (OPNAV 4790/81, Figure 1-9) is used with a controlling MRC when the MRC applies to a number of identical items (i.e., motors, controllers, life rafts, valves, test equipment, small arms, etc.). Each listed item will have a unique identifier assigned. Each ship prepares its own EGLs.
The amount of time it takes to perform maintenance on each item should be considered to determine the number of items to include on an EGL. Each EGL should contain no more than a single day’s work. If more than 1 day is required, separate EGLs are prepared for each, and numbered consecutively. MRC’s with mandatory related maintenance should use the same EGL’s to coordinate completion.
In some instances it may be unnecessary or impractical to list equipment on EGLs. For instance, if the equipment is listed on a TYCOM directed check-off list, a Calibration Recall Program, or Periodic Maintenance Requirement (PMR) is in effect, a notation of the applicable instruction in the location block of the MRC is all that is required.
In addition to the standard EGL, a limited number of specialized EGLs are available from FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC. A listing by applicable MIP/MRC may be obtained by PMS feedback report. Examples are the Damage Control Petty Officer (DCPO) compartment/space inspection EGL and the degaussing current EGLs. 1-5.6 Tag Guide List The TGL (OPNAV 4790/107, Figure 1-10) contains the information necessary for equipment tag-out incidental to PMS accomplishment. The TGL contains the number of tags required, location of tags, position of the tagged item (open, shut, off, on, etc.) and permission or notification requirements. Each ship prepares its own TGLs. TGLs are prepared and used for laminated PMS Tag-out as regulated by reference (d). 1-5.7 Location and Use of MRCs, EGLs, and TGLs A master EGL/TGL file shall be maintained. Each master file is to contain applicable EGLs and TGLs for every applicable MRC. A complete Work Center file of applicable MRCs with associated EGLs and TGLs will be located in each Work Center. Maintenance personnel will use these to perform assigned planned maintenance as follows: Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-30
a. Select the MRC scheduled for accomplishment from the Work Center file. Ensure that any associated EGLs and/or TGLs are also selected.
b. Obtain the required tools/parts/materials and calibrated test equipment listed on the MRC. EXCEPTION: Obtain hazardous material (HAZMAT) only when required to complete the maintenance.
c. Perform maintenance as stated on the MRC, observing safety precautions and notes as indicated.
d. Notify the Work Center Supervisor immediately whenever one or more of the following conditions exist:
(1) Any information on a MRC, EGL, or TGL is not fully understood or appears to be incorrect.
(2) Tools, parts, materials, or calibrated test equipment prescribed by the MRC are not available.
(3) Capability, training, or experience to properly perform the maintenance requirement (MR) as prescribed is doubted.
(4) Factors which would make performance of the MR, including the equipment tag-out unwise or dangerous (e.g., disassembly of equipment needed for operations, radiation when prohibited, situations causing safety hazards to exist, etc.) are identified.
(5) Equipment deficiencies or casualties are discovered.
(6) Any provisions or requirements on the MRC cannot be strictly adhered to or accomplished as prescribed.
e. Return the MRC and any associated EGLs/TGLs to the Work Center file upon completion of the requirement.
f. Report completed planned maintenance actions to the Work Center Supervisor who will update the Weekly PMS Schedule. Maintenance actions not fully completed will be reported to the Work Center Supervisor for rescheduling if still within periodicity, or listed as to the reason why it was not completed, as applicable. However, if material deficiencies or Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B 1-31 casualties which are unrelated to that maintenance requirement are discovered, the maintenance requirement can be X'd off (provided the MR was fully completed), but the discrepancy must be reported as specified in Section I Chapter 3. MRCs conducted by outside activities are listed on ship's force MIPs and are indicated by a letter code designation in the "Other" column (refer to paragraph 1-5.1c). These MRCs are to be maintained in the PMS Master File and in the applicable Work Center file for informational purposes, to facilitate the scheduling of maintenance actions related to ship visits and should be documented as complete when the check has been completed. EGLs and TGLs are not required for MRCs assigned to outside activities. Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com

1-35 1-5.8 Shipboard Changes to MRCs a. The only modifications which shipboard personnel may make to the MRCs are as follows:
(1) Tools, Parts, Materials, and Test Equipment.
(a) Common hand tools and basic housekeeping items may be appropriately substituted or added, by the Work Center Supervisor, without changing the MRC.
(b) Approved parts or materials substitutes from the supply system, technical manual, or MIL-SPEC, etc., may be used.
(c) Test equipment or certified tools, which meet or exceed the SCAT code requirements may be used.
NOTE:
It must be ensured that substitutions satisfy both the basic maintenance and safety requirements of the MRC. If there is any doubt, a PMS Feedback Report (FBR) should be submitted specifying substitution desired and reason.
b. In the "Procedure" block, Work Center Supervisors may line out the non-applicable line items (alternate procedures) that do not pertain to current equipment/configuration when the step is followed with the words "if applicable" or a note identifying steps to be omitted. As these changes are Work Center specific, submission of a FBR is not required.
c. If a change to a maintenance procedure or periodicity for a specific MRC appears necessary or desirable, a FBR suggesting the change is to be forwarded to the FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC. MRCs affected shall be fully identified by citing the SYSCOM MRC control number, subsystem, equipment, the applicable MRC code, and complete SYSCOM MIP control number. Recommended changes should include all information available.
d. Each command has the prerogative to increase the frequency of performance of specified planned maintenance actions to meet local conditions.
e. There may be instances where an obvious typographical error has been made on the MRC (example: Turn Switch to ON; Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-36 however, switch may already be ON and card should read Turn Switch to OFF). This type of error should not prevent the scheduling or performance of maintenance.
NOTE:
Extreme caution shall be taken when reviewing MRCs for this type of error. Errors must be obvious typographical errors, and a PMS FBR must be submitted immediately when discovered. Do not permanently alter the MRC until authorized by the applicable SYSCOM/ISEA/FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC. 1-5.9 PMS Trend Data If directed by the Fleet Commanders (FLTCs) and subordinate commanders, trend data records will be established and maintained for designated equipment. The purpose of this data is to record readings or other historical data over a continuing period of time (e.g., bearing clearances, resistance test readings, etc.). 1-5.10 Preliminary PMS Documentation Preliminary documents provide new or changed procedures that have not been given a final engineering validation. This documentation falls into two categories.
a. Preliminary MIPs without MRCs. Preliminary MIPs without MRCs are forwarded by the SYSCOMs via the FTSCs and provide guidance in maintaining equipment not covered by PMS. Their purpose is to aid the ship in identifying and scheduling maintenance. The ship is responsible for developing interim MRC procedures based on experience and applicable technical manuals in support of these MIPs. Before scheduling preliminary MIP requirements, the Work Center Supervisor and the Department Head shall verify their applicability to installed equipment. Preliminary MIPs are identified by a "P" code and number following the slash of the SYSCOM MIP control number.
b. Preliminary MIPs with MRCs. Preliminary MIPs with MRCs are provided by the SYSCOMs via FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC to provide the ship with advance coverage for use while the MIPs/MRCs are undergoing final technical review. Preliminary MIPs are identified by a "P" code and number following the slash of the SYSCOM MIP control number. Preliminary MIPs/MRCs are technically reviewed/approved by the cognizant SYSCOMs/BUMED. The approved MRCs will be provided following approval with the next update. Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B
1-37 1-5.11 Advance Change Notices (ACNs). PMS ACNs are authorizations for and a record of changes to an existing MIP or MRC, or the addition of a new MRC. Applicable SYSCOMs/BUMED (Cognizant Design Activity or In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA)) will issue message pen changes correcting errors in PMS documentation that affect the safety of personnel or can cause possible damage to equipment in the fleet. Pen corrections are interim measures only for urgently required changes. The FTSCs will distribute the revised MIP/MRC reflecting the changes indicated by the message to all affected MIP holders. Shipboard accountability for ACNs shall be accomplished by annotating the PMS Master File and the Work Center PMS Manual. The ACN reflecting the change must be kept on file until receipt of revised documentation. Types of changes indicated on PMS ACNs include:
a. Periodicity of accomplishment;
b. Deletion or modification of an existing maintenance requirement;
c. Addition or modification of a MRC procedure note to clarify the context or description of a procedure step;
d. Procedure step modification to correct maintenance technical data, e.g., frequency, pressures, voltages, current, decibels, resistance values, clearance, test data, etc;
e. Addition, deletion, or modification of an MRC procedure step which significantly improves the technical accuracy of the task.
f. Addition or modification to the list of tools, parts, materials and test equipment. 1-5.11.1 Control and Tracking of ACNs. Control and tracking of each ACN will be accomplished in the following manner:
a. A PMS ACN will refer to a specific MIP and MRC, the location of the revision will be indicated by a vertical block change bar outside the border of the ACN. A new MRC will be provided for each MRC affected by the ACN.
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-38 b. Each PMS ACN is serialized. The serial number consists of the originating activity code, MIP number, serial number, log number and date.
c. FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC will maintain accountability of all outstanding ACNs by MIP/MRC. The revised MIP will incorporate superseded ACNs.
The 3-M System Coordinator shall record the receipt of each ACN and distribute a copy to the appropriate Work Center files. 1-5.12 PMS Schedules The use of SKED Version 2.1 or higher for PMS Scheduling constitutes full compliance with all administrative provisions of this chapter. Guidance for use of SKED is provided in the Help menus and Wizards associated with SKED. Guidance for the manual preparation of PMS Schedules is contained in Appendix G. PMS Schedules are categorized as cycle, quarterly, and weekly schedules. 1-5.12.1 Cycle PMS Schedule The Cycle PMS Schedule (Figure 1-11) displays the planned maintenance requirements to be performed over long periods of time in the maintenance life cycle of the ship. The PMS Cycle will be determined by using Inter-Deployment Training Cycles (IDTCs). Each PMS Cycle, for ships, will consist of three IDTCs. The Cycle PMS Schedule shall also be reset after a Docking Availability. Multi-month requirements shall be scheduled relative to the first quarter after IDTC reset. A shore command’s PMS Cycle shall be 20 quarters. Multiple month maintenance requirements will have the quarter indicated in parentheses, 30M-1(4)(14), for the periodicity. Any multiple month checks that have not been accomplished in this PMS Cycle period will be scheduled during the first quarter of the new Cycle PMS Schedule. 1-5.12.1.1 Content of Cycle PMS Schedule The following information is to be included in the block/column indicated:
a. Ship. This block contains the ship's name and hull number.
b. Work Center. This block contains the applicable Work Center designator, and page number (e.g., "(pg. 1 of 1)".
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B
1-39 c. Schedule Quarter after Overhaul as Indicated. This block contains annual, semiannual, multiple-month (4M and greater) maintenance requirements. Mandatory related maintenance checks, which are to be completed during the quarter are indicated by the pound sign symbol "#". The # sign, placed next to a primary check, indicates that there is mandatory related maintenance associated with that maintenance requirement. The MIP scheduling aids must be consulted when drafting the Quarterly Schedule to determine what mandatory checks apply and need to be scheduled.
d. Approval Signature/Date. This block contains the Department Head's signature and the date the Cycle schedule was approved.
NOTE:
A printed Cycle schedule with Department Head’s signature and date is not required when using SKED. The Department Head finalizing the schedule constitutes the approval signature.
e. MIP. This block contains a listing of the MIP codes for the PMS requirements to be scheduled on the Cycle schedule.
f. Component. This block identifies the related system, subsystems, or equipment of the scheduled PMS requirements.
g. Each Quarter. This block contains MRs with periodicities of 2W, 3W, M, and 2M, and any associated related maintenance checks (indicated by the "#" symbol). It also includes all situation requirements regardless of periodicity to be completed during each quarter.
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-40 1-5.12.2 Quarterly PMS Schedule The Quarterly PMS Schedule (Figure 1-12) displays the Work Center's PMS requirements to be performed during a specific 3- month period. This schedule, updated weekly, provides a ready reference to the current status of PMS for each Work Center. SKED performs this update based upon the Weekly Schedule. This schedule represents a divisional directive and, once approved, may be changed only with Division Officer approval. 1-5.12.2.1 Content of Quarterly PMS Schedule a. Space is provided for entering the Work Center, year, quarter after overhaul, Division Officer’s signature, date prepared, and months covered.
NOTE:
A printed Quarterly schedule with Division Officer’s signature and date is not required when using SKED. The Division Officer finalizing the schedule constitutes the approval signature.
b. Thirteen columns (15 columns for SSBNs), one for each week in the quarter, are used to schedule maintenance requirements. Columns are provided for the complete MIP number and any PMS requirements that may require to be rescheduled in the next quarter.
c. Use of the Quarterly PMS Schedule The Quarterly PMS Schedule serves as a directive for Work Center Supervisors for scheduling weekly maintenance. 1-5.12.3 Weekly PMS Schedule The Weekly PMS Schedule (Figure 1-13) displays the planned maintenance scheduled for accomplishment in a given Work Center during a specific week. The Weekly PMS Schedule provides the Work Center Supervisor a management tool for planning maintenance requirements. A Weekly PMS Schedule created in SKED by the Work Center Supervisor is used to assign and monitor the accomplishment of required PMS tasks by Work Center personnel. The creation of the Weekly PMS Schedule also produces a 13 Week Accountability log. When using SKED, there is no requirement to print the PMS Weekly Schedule. Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B
1-41 1-5.12.3.1 Content of Weekly PMS Schedule The following items will be included in the weekly schedule:
a. Work Center code.
b. Date of current week.
c. MIP number minus the date code.
d. A list of applicable components.
e. Maintenance responsibilities assigned, by name.
f. The periodicity codes of maintenance requirements to be performed, listed by columns for each day.
g. Outstanding repairs and applicable PMS checks due in next four weeks. 1-5.12.4 13-Week Accountability Log The Work Center Supervisor shall maintain a 13-Week Accountability Log. SKED will produce this log. This log will be printed and posted in each Work Center for maintenance personnel to obtain PMS assignments. It will consist of the last 13 completed weeks of maintenance and the current week. At the end of the week the Division Officer will review and sign the log. The following information will be contained in the accountability log:
a. The printed name, date, and legal signature of the maintenance person actually accomplishing the maintenance. The maintenance person shall sign this log immediately upon completion of the maintenance action. If multiple maintenance persons are assigned to a single maintenance action, the Petty Officer in Charge or the most senior person assigned must sign the 13 Week Accountability Log.
b. Detailed reasons for non-accomplishment of maintenance requirements should be entered by the maintenance person in the 13 Week Accountability Log immediately after informing the Work Center Supervisor of the non-accomplishment of the maintenance action.
NOTE: Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-42
Material deficiencies or casualties discovered, which are unrelated to that maintenance requirement, must be reported to the Work Center Supervisor. 1-5.12.5 Annotation of Weekly PMS Schedule The Weekly PMS Schedule must be updated with the status of Maintenance Requirements. The Work Center Supervisor will annotate the Weekly PMS Schedule as follows:
X = Fully Accomplished. The symbol "X" is the mark used to indicate completion of a maintenance requirement. Fully accomplished MRCs will be X'd off separately on the quarterly schedule. Ensure that situation requirements which were accomplished are added and X'd off separately.
O = Not Fully Accomplished. A circled requirement indicates a requirement that was not accomplished or only partially accomplished following the applicable MRC. A circle with a short arrow will be used to indicate rescheduled MRs.
¢ = Satisfied by Higher Level Test. Upon successful completion of the system (higher) level test, an "X" is marked over the system level test requirement listed on the quarterly schedule. The symbol is used to mark scheduled equipment or lower level MRC requirements that have been satisfied by the successful completion of the parent system test. A brief explanation of the parent system test (including the MIP, who performed the maintenance, and when) is required on the reverse side of the quarterly schedule. (The MRCs that are so satisfied are identified on the applicable system level test MIP.)
If not fully accomplished, the maintenance requirement is circled and rescheduled. PMS requirements (other than daily checks) accomplished during the prescribed week, but not on the day specified, shall be considered completed on schedule and X'd off.

1-45 1-5.13 Shift of Maintenance Responsibility Individual ships sometimes consider it desirable or necessary to shift maintenance responsibility from one Work Center to another, to combine two or more existing Work Centers, or to split an existing Work Center. Requests for changes of PMS maintenance responsibility should not be submitted to accommodate a temporary situation such as short-term assignment of two Work Centers to one supervisor. Transfer of maintenance responsibility from one Work Center to another requires changes in LOEP and PMS distribution, and can represent a considerable administrative burden.
The following factors should be carefully considered before submitting such requests:
a. Composition of Work Centers by size and ratings.
b. Scope of maintenance responsibilities.
c. Work Center workload.
d. Ease of administration of a Work Center as a cohesive maintenance group.
e. Importance of Work Center grouping to equipment maintenance responsibilities, PMS scheduling, MDS reporting, and Current Ship Maintenance Project (CSMP) listings.
When changes in maintenance responsibility are considered necessary, the following procedures apply:
a. Submit a PMS FBR (category B). Indicate from which Work Center(s) equipment is to be deleted and to which it is to be transferred. All FBRs requesting a shift of maintenance responsibility must be signed by the Executive Officer.
b. Work Center or equipment changes will be reported via the OPNAV 4790/CK or Work Candidate (as applicable) or equipment file configuration update. All outstanding equipment deficiencies for the equipment, which was moved, will also be transferred to the new Work Center.
c. After the FBR is signed by the Executive Officer, the following actions are authorized prior to receipt of the Force Revision (FR) reflecting the change:
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-46 (1) Delete equipment from the present PMS master file, LOEP and Work Center manuals. Add the equipment to the appropriate LOEP of the department and Work Center receiving the responsibility. Annotate the FBR serial number on the affected line item on the LOEPs. The PMS master file must contain a record of deleted equipment until the change is reflected in the next update.
(2) Transfer the affected MIPs, MRCs, and EGLs to the Work Center receiving maintenance responsibility. Prepare new TGLs as necessary.
(3) In SKED, delete the equipment from the current schedule. For manually generated PMS schedules, line out equipment on the present Cycle PMS Schedule with one single line and annotate the FBR serial number reflecting that the maintenance responsibility has been transferred (identify receiving Work Center and date of transfer). Make the same change on the Quarterly and Weekly PMS Schedules.
(4) In SKED, add the equipment on the current schedule. For manually generated PMS schedules, add equipment on the Cycle PMS Schedule of the Work Center receiving the maintenance responsibility and date the schedule at the extreme left. Schedule MRs on the Cycle PMS Schedule. Make the same changes on the Quarterly and Weekly PMS Schedules.

SECTION 1 1-48 1-5.14 Scheduling Exceptions Upon review of a MIP, it may be determined that certain maintenance requirements are not applicable to equipment/systems. In such instances, if authorized by a “scheduling aid” entry on the MIP, strike a line through the requirement on the MIP.
If not authorized by a scheduling aid, submit a PMS Feedback Report identifying the reason for non-applicability. No change shall be made to the MIP until authorized; however, performance of affected MRs will be discontinued. Document the non- accomplishment of the MR on the quarterly close out.
There are instances in which a MIP includes a requirement for more than one Work Center to participate in the performance of specified maintenance actions. When this occurs, a decision is required by the command concerned as to whether the MIP will be split or will be scheduled singly by one Work Center and work accomplished through coordination by Work Center Supervisors. There must be a necessity for a complete requirement to be accomplished by the other Work Center before splitting the MIP. If the MIP is split, the following procedures apply:
a. Submit a category B PMS FBR reporting the decision to split the maintenance responsibility. If the ship cannot generate its own additional copies of the required MIPs and MRCs, include a request for the additional PMS documentation to ensure an adequate number for the Work Center/departments.
b. The FBR must be approved by the Executive Officer.
c. Distribute the MIPs, MRCs, and EGLs to the Work Center concerned. Insert the MIPs into the PMS Work Center files, and add the equipment to the applicable LOEPs. Tailor the MIPs to each Work Center by lining out on the MIP the MRCs for which the Work Center is not responsible.
d. If the Cycle PMS Schedule for each affected Work Center does not reflect the equipment, add the equipment to the schedule. Schedule only the periodicity codes that pertain to that Work Center. For manually developed PMS Schedules, make the appropriate changes to the Quarterly and Weekly PMS Schedules.

1-49 availability by reducing the time it would be unavailable to perform its functions if PMS tasks were scheduled and accomplished sequentially. Scheduling of maintenance by a lead Work Center can avoid excessive system non-availability due to PMS requirements, which may occur if several Work Centers separately schedule the PMS for which they are responsible. It may be necessary and desirable for the Executive Officer to provide overall guidance and for the 3-M System Coordinator and Department Heads to coordinate the scheduling and accomplishment of PMS performed by more than one Work Center or department. 1-5.15 PMS Feedback Report (FBR) Form (OPNAV 4790) The PMS FBR is used to notify FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC of matters related to PMS. The FBR form is composed of an original and four copies. Instructions for preparation and submission of the form are printed on the back of the last copy. While the FBR will provide initial PMS coverage and changes, submission of an OPNAV 4790/CK form is required to initiate the logistic support change process (see Section I Chapter 3). Automated forms for FBR submission, may be transmitted electronically, via the SKED Feedback Report Wizard (preferred) or the FTSC website at https://ftsc.navy.mil/pmsdb/tfbrform.cfm or the Anchor Desk website at http://anchordesk.navy.mil, click on Enter the Portal, Submit a deficiency report and PMS Technical Feedback form. 1-5.15.1 PMS Feedback Reports There are three types of FBRs: Category A, Category B, and Urgent.
a. Category A - This type of FBR is non-technical in nature and is intended to meet PMS needs which do not require technical review, including changes in Work Centers. Category A FBRs are submitted to request classified or other PMS documentation, which cannot be obtained locally (see Figure 1- 14). With the ship's master PMS requirements on compact disk (CD-ROM), replacement copies will be generated with the print- on-demand capability.
b. Category B - This type of FBR (Figure 1-15) is technical in nature, and is used to report:
(1) Technical discrepancies inhibiting PMS performance.
(2) Shift of maintenance responsibilities.
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-50 NOTE:
Figure 1-16 shows the reverse side of the FBR form and provides the instructions for preparation and submission.
c. Urgent FBR – An FBR will be considered URGENT when the reason for submission of a PMS FBR involves safety of personnel, ship, or potential for damage to equipment and relates to the technical requirements of PMS. Urgent FBRs will be forwarded by naval message containing a PMS Feedback Serial Number, to both FTSCLANT and FTSCPAC, info cognizant SYSCOM/BUMED/NAVSAFECEN/ TYCOM. The message shall describe the unsafe procedures or conditions, and shall identify the MIP/MRC involved (Figure 1- 17). 1-5.15.2 FBR Processing/Response 1-5.15.2.1 3-M System Coordinator shall: a. Screen PMS FBRs to ensure they are complete and that resolution is not feasible on board the ship. Ensure MIP has been reviewed for scheduling aids and information pertaining to deleting MRCs.
b. Serialize and forward within four days of receipt. The FBR serial number will consist of two parts separated by a dash: a four-digit sequence number and the last two digits of the calendar year. The date will change on 1 January of each year, but the number sequence will continue, i.e., 4241-99, 4242-00. The sequence number will start with 1 and not repeat until 9999 has been reached.
c. Maintain accountability of all PMS FBRs submitted and action taken by the FTSCs, SYSCOM, etc, until corrected PMS documentation is received. The FBR accountability record may be disposed of upon receipt of a feedback reply rejecting the suggested change. SKED also contains a FBR accountability and tracking function that can be used in place of paper records.
d. Ensure the originator of each FBR and all other applicable Work Centers are kept appraised of action taken on the FBR, and that all materials and information received in response are distributed accordingly. Ensure that the originating Work Center and other applicable Work Center Supervisors implement the changes/corrections received.

a. Category A FBRs for replacement of missing classified MIPs/MRCs shall receive expeditious handling by the FTSCs.
b. Category B FBRs where resolution by FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC is possible, will be answered by electronic means, if possible. Paper responses will be a last resort.
c. Related changes in documentation shall be reflected in the LOEP provided with the subsequent Force Revision.
d. Category B FBRs, where resolution by FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC is not possible, shall be processed as follows:
(1) The FBR will be electronically forwarded to the applicable technical review activity for resolution.
(2) FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC will maintain the PMS MIS copy.
(3) An electronic notice will be provided the ship identifying what action is pending and by whom.
e. Related changes in documentation shall be reflected in the LOEP provided with a subsequent revision. 1-5.15.2.3 Technical Review Activities. The cognizant Technical Review Activity receiving technical FBRs for resolution shall analyze, categorize, and process these FBRs as follows:
a. URGENT Feedback Reports. (See paragraph 1-5.15.1c) SYSCOM/BUMED/NAVSAFECEN technical review activities shall provide a preliminary response to the originator by message, info applicable TYCOMs, SYSCOM/BUMED, NAVSAFECEN Norfolk, and FTSCLANT and FTSCPAC within 1 working day of receipt. TYCOM shall provide copies of Urgent FBR resolutions to all holders of the affected MIPs/MRCs.
b. Routine Technical Feedback Reports. The technical review activity shall provide the resolution to the question asked in the FBR to FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC by direct entry into the PMS MIS or other electronic means. The response may contain corrections to PMS documentation incorporating approved revised Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-52 procedures, and superseding documentation held by the ship, or an explanation of the reasons for non-concurrence or deferring concurrence with the ship's recommendation or request. Electronic responses are preferred over paper. FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC will provide an electronic response to the originator.
NAVSEA has established a goal of providing the answer to a TFBR in one day. While it is realized that some TFBRs will require more extensive research, the majority of TFBRs received can and should be answered in one day.
When the technical review activity concurs with a PMS FBR, FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC will provide all holders of the affected MIP/MRC with updated PMS in the next force revision.

1-57 1-5.16 PMS Force Revision After PMS has been installed, it is necessary to ensure that the installed PMS packages are periodically updated to reflect changes in system/equipment and package configuration and to provide PMS documentation (new issues and revisions). 1-5.16.1 Work Center Verification. It is important that all MIPs/MRCs received by a Work Center are carefully reviewed by a senior petty officer to verify:
a. That the equipment identified on the MIP is in fact installed in/assigned to the Work Center.
b. That the MIP/MRC is applicable to the system/ equipment (APL, correct manufacturer, model, MK-MOD, alteration, etc.) that is installed.
c. That the requirements/provisions (procedures, tools, skills, man-hours, elapsed time) listed on the MRC are correct, adequate, safe, feasible, logical, reasonable, simply stated, and not excessive. 1-5.16.2 Revision Package Contents Each PMS Force Revision package contains:
a. Automated Library Issue Document (ALID) that identifies:
(1) the applicable force revision
(2) applicable ship hull number
(3) superseded MIPs
(4) superseding MIPs
(5) applicable Work Center codes
(6) quantities
(7) added/deleted MIPs.
b. The List of Effective Pages (LOEP), Report PMS 5 (see Figure 1-1).
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-58 c. PMS MIP to Work Center File, Report PMS 4 (see Figure 1-18). This report provides the ship accountability and control of current MIP to Work Center assignments.
d. Technical Feedback Status Report, Report PMS 22 (Figure 1-19). This report contains outstanding/completed Technical Feedback Reports received by FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC. Category A FBRs will not be reflected on this report. 1-5.16.3 Revision Procedures Force revision procedures are as follows:
a. PMS revision package will be addressed "Attention: 3-M System Coordinator."
b. The Force Revision number is listed in the upper right-hand corner of the Automated Library Issue Document (ALID). This number will be the same for all ships and will identify each Force Revision in the calendar year. For example, the first package issued in calendar year 2000 was assigned the number 1-00.
c. Commands having no additions or changes will receive a copy of the ALID with a statement, "No Ship’s Master File changes reflected by this Force Revision."
d. Ships in overhaul will receive Force Revision packages. Updating procedures for PMS packages during overhaul are contained in Section I Chapter 2.
e. Shipboard procedures for implementation of force revisions are as follows:
(1) Force Revisions are normally effective on the first Monday of the quarter and are mailed prior to the beginning of a quarter to allow adequate preparation prior to the scheduled implementation date. When a Force Revision is not received in time to permit implementation on the first Monday of the quarter, the actual date of implementation will be designated by the Executive Officer. When a Force Revision is received, only safety-related PMS updates are required to be implemented within 2 to 5 working days of receipt, with the remainder of the PMS updates being implemented on the effective date for the Force Revision. Safety-related changes will be marked with a vertical line on the PMS Quarterly Schedule for the day directed by the Executive Officer for command wide Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B
1-59 implementation. The line should be labeled "INSTALLED REVISION".
(2) The 3-M System Coordinator shall enter the Force Revision number from the ALID in the Change Service Accountability Log (Figure 1-20) prior to routing the change documentation to work centers. Two examples of PMS Change Documentation Routing Memorandum are shown in Figures 1-21 and 1-22. The Change Service Accountability Log is explained further in paragraph 1-5.17.
(3) The Work Center Supervisor, upon receipt of the change document from the 3-M system coordinator, shall take the following actions:
(a) LOEP Changes
(b) When a MIP is superseded in its entirety, line out the complete number of the superseded MIP, enter the number of the new MIP, and annotate with the revision serial number.
(c) When a MIP number is partially updated (e.g., revision date change, and preliminary to permanent MIP), line out only that portion of the MIP number, which is changed, and write in the updated portion of the MIP number.
(d) When a new MIP is issued, enter the new MIP number and applicable equipment information at the end of the current LOEP for the applicable Work Center.
(e) Changes resulting from force revisions. Replace the superseded LOEP in the PMS Master and Work Center files. SKED users will update their schedules using the CD-ROM. Steps (f) and (g) apply to paper users. All changes will be made in ink.
(f) Each will compare existing cycle schedules with the LOEP to identify new, deleted, or revised MIPs. New MIPs will be added to the bottom of cycle schedules. Deleted MIPs will be lined out and the force revision number noted by the line out.
(g) Revised MIPs will be compared with old MIPs to identify changes in periodicity. Required changes will be shown on the cycle schedule.

SECTION 1 1-66 1-5.17 Change Service Accountability Log A Change Service Accountability Log (Figure 1-20) shall be maintained. Upon receipt of PMS changes, the 3-M System Coordinator shall maintain the identification number and other pertinent data in an accountability log prior to routing the documentation to the cognizant Work Center. After ensuring accountability, change documentation is passed to the applicable Work Center.
The 3-M System Coordinator completes the entry in the Change Service Accountability Log after the Work Center Supervisor has indicated that all appropriate change steps have been completed. After all work Centers have reported completion, the transmittal letter may be discarded. Change Service Accountability Log sheets should be retained for one year. 1-5.18 Documentation Provided TYCOMs via Force Revisions The following PMS documentation is provided by FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC to the TYCOMs with each force revision:
a. A complete record of all MIPs/MRCs for each hull.
b. List of Effective Pages (LOEP) PMS-5 for each ship (Figure 1-1).
c. Listing of Outstanding (Category B) TFBRs, Report PMS 22 (Figure 1-19).
NOTE:
Besides the standard shipboard reports, others are available upon request from FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC to assist the TYCOM. An example is the MIP to Hull File, Report PMS 2, which identifies each hull to which a given MIP is applicable within that TYCOM. Contact FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC for additional information on reports available. 1-6 EQUIPMENT NOT COVERED BY PMS There are items of equipment in the fleet which do not have PMS coverage. Reasons for this are numerous and include:
a. Insufficient funds for development of PMS.
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B
1-67 b. Non-delivery of technical documentation for equipment previously delivered and installed.
c. Absence of a system for identifying and assigning priorities to outstanding fleet PMS requirements.
d. Determination that planned maintenance is not required. 1-6.1 Classification of Equipment Not Covered by PMS The terms listed below have been established for use in PMS to aid in the classification of equipment or system status. SYSCOMs/BUMED, INSURV, and fleet units will be provided a status report of such equipment for use as a reference in determining the scope of PMS coverage and/or deficiencies in coverage.
a. Maintenance Requirement Substantiated (MRS). An equipment classified MRS has been analyzed by technical representatives of the cognizant SYSCOM/BUMED, and the need for PMS requirements established. A requirement then exists for final development, and the equipment is so identified for SYSCOM/BUMED action and is also listed in the PMS automated LOEP for each ship in which the equipment is installed.
b. No Maintenance Required (NMR). The term NMR can be assigned to equipment only if no maintenance other than normal housekeeping actions are required to keep the equipment in good operating condition. Technical review activities shall provide a RCM analysis to justify a NMR determination.
c. No Individual Requirement (NIR). NIR will be assigned to those equipments which do not require specific planned maintenance requirements of their own because the planned requirements for a higher assembly, of which the equipment is a part, satisfies the need. Technical review activities shall provide a RCM analysis to justify a NMR determination.
d. Lacks Adequate Technical Description (LATD). Items are so classified to reflect that insufficient descriptive information is available to determine PMS status.
1-6.2 Responsibilities for Providing Coverage When a ship or TYCOM considers there is a need for PMS equipment coverage, the following steps will be taken:
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-68 a. The ship will notify FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC by PMS FBR Category B of the need for maintenance requirements.
b. If through the development process planned maintenance tasks have been identified, FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC will forward preliminary MIPs and/or MRCs to the applicable ships for those items coded "MRS" (copy to TYCOM). The covering transmittal letter will include the status of final coverage and other comments considered appropriate.
c. If preliminary MIPs and/or MRCs are not provided, the command will develop interim MIP and MRC procedures based on applicable technical manuals/documentation and quality maintenance processes. MRC procedures will be locally developed and scheduled. These locally developed procedures shall be submitted to the SYSCOM/BUMED as recommendations for the development of formal PMS. No local procedures will be incorporated into PMS without RCM analysis developed and submitted by a technical review activity. TYCOMs will screen and, if applicable, approve locally prepared shore command generated planned maintenance. Shore stations locally generated planned maintenance will not be incorporated in PMS. 1-7 INACTIVE EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE (IEM) 1-7.1 Implementation and Responsibility To implement procedures for the accomplishment of PMS for equipment declared in an inactive status, current PMS schedules are modified to annotate the requirements listed in the IEM section of the Maintenance Index Page (MIP) (Figure 1-22). For advance planning and scheduling of maintenance to take place, it is necessary to determine and identify the extent that ship's force personnel will apply PMS during an inactive period. MIPs in each Work Center will be reviewed to determine if equipment has IEM coverage, if the coverage is adequate, and what procedure to follow if there is no IEM coverage on the MIP in question. The Department Head is responsible for determining equipment IEM status. 1-7.2 Definition of Equipment Status The applicability of IEM procedures is dependent on determination of equipment status using the following definitions:
Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B
1-69 a. Status I. Equipment that will remain on board and will be inactive for thirty days or longer and is not scheduled for corrective maintenance or overhaul.
b. Status II. Equipment that is inactive for thirty days or longer and is directly subject to corrective maintenance, overhaul, or removal for safe storage/replacement. 1-7.3 Inactive Equipment Maintenance (IEM) Documentation IEM procedures are added to the end of existing MIPs and are separated from operational PMS by double horizontal lines (see Figure 1-22). The IEM procedures are titled "Inactive Equipment Maintenance" and are prefaced by the following statement:
"The following requirements will be scheduled when equipment is inactivated for periods of prolonged idleness."
Maintenance actions for inactivated equipment are grouped on the MIP under the following categories (see Figure 1-22):
a. Lay-Up Maintenance (LU)
b. Periodic Maintenance (PM)
c. Start-Up Maintenance (SU)
d. Operational Test (OT)
When no IEM requirements are justified during IEM analysis, no categories will be listed on the MIP and the words "None required" will appear under the Inactive Equipment Maintenance Section of the MIP. When there is no indication of IEM requirements, or when IEM procedures are inadequate, the ship should consider all factors that affect equipment deterioration and take necessary precautionary measures. These factors include environmental conditions, equipment location, susceptibility to damage, or other factors that can not be anticipated when IEM procedures are originally developed by the cognizant In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) or design activity. 1-7.3.1 IEM Operational Periodicity Codes. IEM utilizes operational periodicity codes for all IEM actions available on the MIP supplemented by IEM periodicity (LU, PM, SU, OT) for newly developed MRCs applicable to IEM only. Each periodicity code will be supported by an MRC in the applicable Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-70 set unless indicated otherwise on the MIP. New MRCs are generated only when:
a. An IEM action is required that is not available in operational PMS.
b. A scheduling MRC is necessary because of the number of PMS actions required and complex scheduling notes pertaining to support factors must be considered. A note on the MIP will specify that this MRC is used for scheduling only (see Figure 1- 23). Scheduling MRCs are held to a minimum. 1-7.3.2 IEM Scheduling Situations. The following situations may occur in IEM and may apply to any of the following four categories:
a. If the maintenance required is available in operational PMS, it is repeated in IEM followed by a note specifying the MRC to be used (see Figure 1-23).
b. If the maintenance action required does not exist in operational PMS, a new MRC is developed and listed on the MIP using LU, PM, SU, or OT as the periodicity designator (see Figure 1-23).
c. If more than one maintenance requirement appears on the operational MRC, one or more of the requirements will be designated for accomplishment by a note on the MIP (see Figure 1-23).
d. If a scheduling MRC is developed it will list numerous MRC periodicities to be scheduled and performed (see Figure 1- 23).

Figure 1-23: Maintenance Index Page Indicating IEM 1-35 NAVSEAINST 4790.8B Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
SECTION 1 1-72 1-7.4 Categories of IEM 1-7.4.1 Lay-Up Maintenance (LU) Lay-up maintenance actions prepare the equipment for periods of prolonged idleness, and are usually performed only once at the beginning of the inactive period.
1-7.4.2 Periodic Maintenance (PM)
Periodic maintenance actions are accomplished on a recurring basis during the inactive period to prevent equipment deterioration. These maintenance actions are operational PMS performed at either the same periodicity with a note specifying the MRC to be used (Figure 1-23), or at a different periodicity with a note specifying the MRC to be used and the modified periodicity (Figure 1-23).
1-7.4.3 Start-Up Maintenance (SU)
Start-up maintenance actions ensure that equipment is in a condition suitable for operation or to reactivate an equipment or system that has been inactivated for a prolonged period. Start-up maintenance consists of performing turn-on procedures and restoring the equipment to its ready-for-service condition (Figure 1-24).
1-7.4.4 Operational Test (OT)
Operational test actions are those conducted to determine the operational condition of the equipment, its ability to function as designed, and to be integrated with other equipment to form a system. 1-7.5 IEM MRCs IEM maintenance requirement cards are assigned SYSCOM MRC control numbers in the same manner as PMS MRCs. The SYSCOM MRC control number, periodicity indicator, skill level, and man- hours information, normally located adjacent to a maintenance requirement on the MIP, will not be repeated when an operational MRC is used for IEM.

SECTION 1 1-74 1-7.6 IEM SCHEDULING
At the conclusion of IEM, routine PMS maintenance requirements shall be scheduled as prescribed in Section I. SKED provides the capability to perform IEM scheduling.
NOTE:
Ships completing overhaul late in the quarter are not expected to do all planned maintenance scheduled during that quarter, but should do a certain amount based on the time remaining in the quarter.
The scheduling of maintenance for inactive equipment utilizes conventional PMS scheduling techniques.
Figure 1-25 is a sample quarterly schedule for an inactive period and portrays an equipment declared inactive in one maintenance quarter and returned to an operational status the following quarter. It also shows an item of equipment, which remained operational.
To schedule inactive equipment maintenance, determine the status of the equipment as described in paragraph 1-7.2 and prepare schedules as follows:
a. The cycle schedule will remain the same.
b. For paper users, on the quarterly schedule:
(1) Indicate vertically to designate the start of IEM. If only some of the items of the equipment are to be placed on inactive maintenance. The vertical line should be drawn only through the affected MIP line of the schedule for the inactive equipment maintenance (see Figure 1-25, item 1).
(2) At the beginning of IEM, to the left of the vertical line, list IEM Status I or II as appropriate (see Figure 1-25, item 1).
(3) Mark horizontally through all previously scheduled operational PMS requirements within the inactive period to signify cancellation (see Figure 1-25, item 2).
(4) From the IEM section of the MIP, schedule all lay-up and periodic requirements. Note the method of scheduling periodic maintenance of a different periodicity than that Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
NAVSEAINST 4790.8B
1-75 specified on the MRC. Example: R-1(M) is a situation requirement extended to a monthly PMS requirement for IEM (see Figure 1-25, item 3).
(5) When the inactive period continues into the following quarter, operational PMS maintenance is not required to be scheduled until after the inactive period. Instead, inactive equipment maintenance requirements will be scheduled. When equipment remains in Status I or II through the beginning of a new quarter, indicate the status code in the first week on the appropriate line (see Figure 1-25, item 4).
(6) Schedule operational PMS requirements for those items of equipment not declared for inactive maintenance.
(7) Schedule the start-up requirements and, if required, operational tests toward the end of the inactive period (see Figure 1-25, item 5).
(8) At the end of the inactive period, mark vertically to indicate the stop of IEM and schedule operational PMS (see Figure 1-25, item 6). To avoid redundant scheduling when making the transition to operational PMS, do not reschedule those requirements already accomplished as part of the IEM actions.
(9) Identify the applicable external repair activity on the MIP line for equipment that is in overhaul and is considered an outside activity's responsibility (see Figure 1- 25, item 7).
(10) Mark horizontally through all previously scheduled IEM requirements to signify cancellation if the equipment has been removed from the ship and is no longer ship's force responsibility.

1-77 1-8 SUPPLY MATERIALS REQUIRED PRIOR TO INACTIVATION Certain advance preparations are necessary to properly prepare for IEM. Reference documents such as Current Ship's Maintenance Project (CSMP), Ship Alteration and Repair Package (SARP), LOEPs, MIPs, and MRCs should be reviewed by the shipboard maintenance manager well in advance of planned idle period. A comprehensive list of the needed equipment and materials required may be prepared by reviewing the IEM MRCs for the items called out under "Tools, Parts, Materials, Test Equipment."
Meeting IEM requirements in some cases will require that portable equipment such as exhaust blowers, heaters, and dehumidifiers are available. In other situations, special materials for protecting idle ship equipment must be used. Many items required in implementing IEM are normally used or stocked on the ship and are, therefore, readily available. Lubricants, cleaning agents, rags, hand tools, and test equipment are typical among these items.
Arrangements for loan and extended use of portable equipment during an overhaul period should be made with a tender or other repair/overhauling activity. In assessing equipment requirements, duplication of effort and equipment redundancy should be avoided. For instance, a particular overhaul action under shipyard responsibility may include provision of equipment, material, or services, otherwise assumed to be part of IEM requirements. In such cases, yard and ship responsibility must be determined.
Care must be exercised in the selection of cleaning agents, detergents, solvents, adhesives, cements, and similar materials to avoid the use of materials which, are not authorized. For example, on submarines, refer to the effective edition of the Material List for Operating Submarines and to NAVSHIPS 0938-LP-011-5010, Technical Manual, Nuclear Powered Submarine Atmosphere Control (CONF).

INITIAL PLANNED MAINTENANCE SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND UPDATE DURING OVERHAUL
2-1 PLANNED MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (PMS) INSTALLATION (SHIPBOARD) Type commanders (TYCOMs) are responsible for ensuring the proper installation and operation of PMS within the ships under their command. The importance of the PMS installation cannot be overemphasized. 2-1.1 Preparation of Materials Prior to the PMS installation, equipment configuration information will be verified by the Configuration Data Manager (CDM). The PMS Maintenance Index Page/Maintenance Requirement Card (MIP/MRC) documentation will be certified by the Fleet Technical Support Center, Atlantic/Fleet Technical Support Center, Pacific (FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC), as appropriate. Following the validation, the applicable FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC will assemble the PMS documentation, equipment listings, schedules, and forms required for the installation package. Each PMS installation package is ship tailored. Installation packages consist of:
a. A transmittal letter with an inventory of installation materials.
b. Two copies of the List of Effective Pages (LOEP).
c. One PMS Master File. The PMS Master File contains information relative to PMS requirements for specific equipment for which the command is responsible.
d. One Work Center PMS Manual for each work center. The Work Center PMS Manual reflects that portion of the PMS Master File that contains only the planned maintenance requirements applicable to a particular work center and includes decks of associated MRCs and PMS Feedback Report (FBR) forms.
e. A PMS delivery/installation reporting card.
2-1.2 PMS Installation The FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC have the responsibility for installing PMS aboard ship. The installation of PMS is done in two phases; preliminary and final. Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
