Primary Functional Area : Life Cycle Logistics
According to Benjamin S. Blanchard’s (2004) Logistics Engineering and Management, (6th ed.). Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Pearson Prentice Hall, administrative delay time (ADT), “refers to that portion of downtime during which maintenance is delayed for reasons of an administrative nature: personnel assignment priority, labor strike, organizational constraint, and so on. ADT does not include active maintenance time but often constitutes a significant element of total maintenance downtime (MDT).”
Mean Administrative Delay Time (MAdmDT): As per the OPNAVINST 3000.12A, Operational Availability Handbook, A Practical Guide for Military Systems, Sub-Systems, and Equipment, June 2003, MAdmDT is the average period of down time awaiting logistics resources other than spare parts. It includes time awaiting qualified maintenance personnel, support equipment, technical data, training, facilities, etc. Examples are Mean Down Time for Documentation (MDTD), Mean Down Time for Training (MDTT), and Mean Down Time for Other Reasons (MDTOR).

The repair of non-mission–capable systems is often delayed due to administrative requirements such as awaiting approval to begin maintenance, budget limitations, coordinating requirements, and, simply waiting. Each of these activities could be beyond the control of the owner of the system and can only be tolerated. These events are often difficult to quantify because it would require someone to track inefficiencies within the overall support infrastructure. Organizations often have standard times that are applied to calculating Non-Mission Capable Time. When standard times are not available, then a best-guess estimate may be the only input possible. However, this additional delay in returning a system to mission-capable status is often a significant issue.
