Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center Overview
2
Maintenance Initiatives
• SHIPMAIN – the maintenance process
• Waterfront Integration – the organization
• NEMAIS – the “tool” (SAP)
3
Why SHIPMAIN?
• Address current maintenance and modernization challenges– Lack a common process and single process owner– Excessive handoffs across multiple organizations– Unclear accountability for results– Funding administration & uncertainty cause ‘churn’– High “Premiums” paid in execution cost due to
inefficient upkeep planning– Excessive spending on ALTS designed and procured,
but not installed
4
SHIPMAIN Goals
• Install a common planning process for surface ship maintenance and modernization
• Increase the efficiency of the process without compromising its effectiveness
• Install a disciplined management process with objective measurements
• Institutionalize the process and a continuous improvement method (JFMM & feedback)
5
SHIPMAIN Philosophy
• Minimize Growth and New Work (G&NW) through better planning and earlier MSR involvement.
• Implement a Maintenance Figure of Merit (MFOM) approach to prioritize maintenance.
• Change the “culture” to effectively reduce premiums paid by managing G&NW.
6
SHIPMAIN
• CFT-1 Requirements
• CFT-2 Package Preparation
• CFT-3 Placement and Oversight
• CFT-4 Alterations and Modernization
7
CFT-1 Requirements
• Maintenance Teams – focal point
• Planning Board for Maintenance
• One-step work brokering and screening
• Prioritized 2Ks: Maintenance Figure of Merit
• Continuous flow of 2Ks to MSR
• Auto screening of ICMP 2Ks
• ICAVs provide electronic 2Ks
• Metrics, metrics, metrics…more metrics

Ship Maintenance Teams
• Primary responsibilities – Focused on a Specific Ship– Identify and prioritize required work IAW consistent
MFOM – validity and accuracy– Determine when and where work items will be
accomplished - based on business practices that reduce cost
– Match resources to prioritized requirements– Oversee availability execution
Small cross-functional team executes planning and oversees execution
10
CFT-2 Package Preparation
• Master spec catalog
– Establish reusable specifications
– Provides template for new specs
• Package prepared by executing activity
• Robust feedback for new specs and cost returns
11
CFT-3 Placement and Oversight
• Coordination of MT and Contractor
• Continuous Technical Advisory Reports
• Gov’t estimates not required
• Multi-Ship/Multi-Option (MSMO) contracts
• Flow of maintenance items between CNO and continuous maintenance availabilities
• RMCs control funding
12
CFT-4 Alterations and Modernization
• All ALTS through same process
• Two Types: Program (K) & Fleet (D)
• Mission and BG Interoperability focus
• Hierarchical decision making model
• Prioritized list: ALT Figure of Merit
• Engineering/BCA filters applied before extensive development of an ALT
13
Waterfront Integration
• Fleet initiative
• Combines RSG, SIMA, FTSCLANT and SUPSHIP Portsmouth
• All RMC’s (non-shipyard) similar– Mid Atlantic (Norfolk)
– South East (Mayport)
– South Central (Ingleside)
– South West (San Diego)
• Personnel reductions achieved through attrition
14
Waterfront Integration
• Goals include:– Eliminate redundancy– Standardize processes both regionally and
nationally– Implement the SHIPMAIN entitled process– Reduce reimbursable work >> mission funded
• Somewhat more difficult in Norfolk due to complexity, geography, market and density
1,016 personnel = 267 military + 527 gov’t civilian + 222 contractors
79 personnel = 52 military + 20 gov’t civilian + 7 contractors
627 personnel = 16 military + 456 gov’t civilian + 155 contractors
1,851 personnel = 1,782 military + 68 gov’t civilian + 1 contractor
3,573 personnel = 2,117 military + 1,071 gov’t civilian + 385 contractors

NEMAIS
• NAVSEA’s solution for ship maintenance
• Somewhat cumbersome at present
• U-NNPI Certification in progress
• Evaluating additional NEMAIS seats for MA-RMC functions
• Need support while awaiting convergence
18
ISSUES
• No layoffs
• Optimal Manning on surface ships – PMS
• Reimbursable work for FTSCLANT
• Shift from FFP to MSMO contracts
• Four unions to negotiate with
• Surface ship maintenance in the MED/GULF
19
AND MORE ISSUES
• Connectivity and AIS
• 500+ instructions to merge
• JFMM update
• Funding churn…
• Lots of moving parts…
