  Policy/Regulatory

   

  Description:

  Labor hours are an analytical function to devise the overall cost during the life cycle of an equipment asset. Viewing multiple shops across the enterprise there are currently 1000s of work orders closed out without the maintenance team quantifying their labor. A recommended improvement would be to make it a mandatory field prior to closing out a work order. Previously in IMDS, it was a mandatory field.

   

  Recommended:

  Make it a mandatory field, where the user cannot close out any work-orders without submitting labor. This should be controlled at the maintenance program configuration where it can be turned on/off for at the site level only to alleviate concerns for agencies that may not require it in the same manner; where aviation support equipment would need it.

   

  Mission Critical:
  PAD 22-02 signed by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) directs the centralized management of CAvSE at the enterprise level, residing within the 440 SCOS Aviation Support Equipment Management Flight. This change will allow for future data mining actions seeing equipment maintenance hours and for career fields who use the data from DPAS M&U for manpower studies to have accurate information to enable the force to have correct manpower based upon the actual workflow. 00-20-2 para 4.23, 4.26 requires labor documentation.

   

  Benefits:

  This will enable the Air Force to achieve the desired effects in improving overall readiness and warfighter support by having accurate labor hour calculations across the enterprise.

   

  Frequency: 

  Daily

   

  Users:

  This change will be applicable to 15,000+ users assigned to Site FH-AFHAF, as well as other agencies or departments that conduct maintenance on their support equipment.
