DEFINITION

The maintenance concept briefly defines the intended maintenance workload distribution within the Army maintenance system and the force structure required to maintain the end item or weapon system.

GENERAL INFORMATION/NARRATIVE

It is largely based on the organization and operation plan and is an integral portion of the logistics section of the requirement document.

See AR 750-1

Maintenance Planning from DA PAM 700-56 (Appendix C Content of the Supportability Strategy Document)(2) Maintenance planning.(a) Describe the maintenance concept (see AR 750–1) for the system including all levels of maintenance. Identify tradeoffs to be performed and maintenance considerations peculiar to the system.(b) Identify maintenance tasks required to sustain the end item at a defined level of readiness, include all critical and high driver (MPT and fiscal resources) tasks. The LMI data product format can be used to provide part of the maintenance planning data.(c) Describe the general overall support concepts contained in the CD or resulting from logistic studies. Identify proposed or actual skills, tools, TMDE, support equipment, and so on, to be available at each level of maintenance. Include analysis of possible design for discard of components and repair parts.(d) Indicate strengths and weaknesses of each support alternative and the effect of the support concept on the system design, SRO, acquisition and O&S costs, and on affected ILS elements.(e) Summarize known or planned inter-service support, HNS, ICS or LCCS, and contractor warranties. Identify proposed solutions to potential problems that may result during transition to organic support.(f) Include information about planned organic depot maintenance. Summarize and cross-reference the DMSP. This plan is prepared by the MATDEV in the format shown in chapter 16.(g) For systems being acquired for multiservice use, address the feasibility and desirability of centralized repair and supply support by a single service, the predominant user in a geographical area or the one with centralized support capability.(h) Describe maintenance environment.1. Describe the maintenance environment, limitations, constraints, and requirements projected for the deployment timeframes. Provide sufficient detail (turnaround time, direct productive annual maintenance man-hours (DPAMMH), MTBMA, MTTR, and MTBPM to support SA. Include logistic support parameters stated in the ICD/CDD/CPD or other requirements documents. Use LMI data when available.2. State the nature and extent of maintenance to be performed by each level of maintenance to include battle damage expedient repair procedures in accordance with battlefield damage assessment and repair (BDAR) policy. Discuss alternative approaches when applicable. Identify tradeoff criteria used for selection of the preferred alternative.3. Identify the organizational and logistic support structure of each divisional and/or non-divisional unit that will be responsible for providing direct and general supply support and maintenance support.4. Identify depots, special repair activities, or other support activities scheduled for special support missions. Identify the depots that will be responsible for depot repair/overhaul of those components comprising the total system.5. Identify the need for maintenance float items in accordance with policy in AR 750–2.6. Identify all depot maintenance inter-service studies (by study number) applicable to the materiel system. Report the latest status of each of the studies. If studies have not been initiated, indicate plans to accomplish this task.7. Describe efforts to minimize potential safety problems during maintenance.8. Where applicable, describe maintenance concepts, requirements and procedures for—a. Army prepositioned stocks (APS).b. Nuclear hardness maintenance and surveillance procedures contemplated to assure the nuclear hardness of the system throughout its life cycle.c. The NBC contamination survivability maintenance procedures must be maintained throughout the life cycle of the system.
