    Description:
    DPAS M&U lacks the ability to identify items as Critical Assets.  Some assets are of such high importance to the warfighting mission that they need to be labeled as Critical Assets. These items are vital to meeting DODD 4151.18 mandates that maintenance programs are structured to "meeting readiness and sustainability objectives (including mobilization and surge capabilities) of national defense strategic and contingency requirements. It is of significant importance for senior leaders to monitor availability of these assets on a real-time basis to detect and resolve shortages that impact readiness. Per DAFI 21-101 it is the Maintenance Group Commander's responsibility to "Establish Minimum Equipment Levels (MELs) for essential maintenance assets to include support equipment and vehicles.This capability was present in legacy systems prior to our transition to DPAS M&U and is now being accomplished manually via spreadsheet (daily updates required).
     
    Recommended:
    Add a new checkable attribute in the Maintenance Asset Master labeled Critical Asset. This attribute needs to be added as a field in the Maint Asset Inquiry; needs to be a search option in MAM; and needs to be added to the "additional attributes" section of the Work Order.
     
    Mission Critical:
    DODI 4151.18, AFI 10-2402; DAFI 21-101
     
    Benefits:
    This change will ensure senior leaders are able to assess and monitor the health of critical assets,  maintaining the ability to execute War Orders effectively IAW DoD and AF policy.
