-assurance functions.

 

AFMC Supp 8.6.2 and 8.32.2.1 add:  Specific Training Requirements.  All QA personnel must be trained or possess sufficient technical knowledge to effectively

perform their duties.  The Maintenance Wing Quality Manual or QAP will identify specific technical and weapons system training requirements.  QA personnel are required to meet minimum qualifications on PAC certified tasks being assessed, and must meet

any qualification (mandatory formal training) requirements defined in AFMCI 21-108, Maintenance Training & Production Acceptance Certification (PAC) Program.

 

AFMC Supp 8.10.7 and 8.35.6.3 Personnel Evaluations (PE).  A PE is an evaluation of a maintenance action or inspection by an individual or team.   QA will provide notice not

AFMC Supp 10.4.2.1.1 and 10.12.2.1.1 The supervisor or designee (i.e. alternate supervisor, wage leader, or military equivalent) will perform the inventory of a Consolidated Took Kit (CKT) used by more than one individual.  Missing tools will be identified to the supervisor.  Supervisors are responsible for tool and equipment accountability and control.  When a person removes a tool or piece of equipment, they are responsible for that item until it is returned.  Local supplements will provide

 

procedure for accountability when items are removed.  Supervisors will be responsible to initiate lost tool procedures.

 

AFMC Supp 10.4.2.2 and 10.12.2.2 Supervisory Inspection.  Supervisors are responsible for ensuring all tool kits assigned to them and their subordinate are inspected.  The supervisor’s inspections will include verification of the TKCRL and supplemental list against the tool kit contents as well as ensuring each item has a matching identification number. Documentation of the supervisor’s inventory on the AFMC IMT 309 is required.  The required supervisor’s inspections are as follows:

 

AFMC Supp 10.4.2.4 and 10.12.2.4 Biennial Review.  Each tool kit type will be reviewed biennially for content and verification that the kit type contains the required type and quantity of tools.  This review will involve both management and production personnel and will focus on eliminating excess, duplicate and infrequently used tools.  The review will be documented and forwarded to the center tool manager.  If it is discovered during the review that numerous add-ons to TKCRLs have occurred for the majority of tool kits in a given skill, task, or work area, the supervisory function will ensure the template is updated for that particular skill, task or work area by adding the additional tools to the template and the TKCRL.  An updated TKCRL will then be printed and given to the personnel with that particular template.

 

AFMC Supp 10.8.1 Supervisors will ensure assigned personnel are familiar with lost

tool procedures.

 

AFMC Supp 10.8.1.4 If the item is not located, the local release authority will determine when the search may be discontinued.

 

AFMC Supp 10.9.1.1 Insure user input is considered when determining quantity, content and layout of toolkits.

AFMC Supp 12.12.2 WWM, Weapons Flt Chief, or LSC will decertify and disqualify individual load crew member is they:

 

AFMC Supp 14.1 In Table 14.1 all references to military rank will include “or civilian equivalent.”

 

AFMC Supp 14.13.6 The team chief (identified by a reflective vest) carries an EOR checklist and will ensure each item is inspected as required.  On aircraft with a ground intercom system, units are only required to establish verbal communications with the

pilot when communications beyond the standard EOR marshalling hand signals is required unless otherwise directed by MDS specific technical data.  If the air-craft is not equipped with a ground intercom system, ground control talker cards will be used when communication with the aircrew becomes necessary.

 

AFMC Supp 14.15.16 Fire Control Panel Operation in Hush Houses/Noise Suppressors.  This section applies to all Hush Houses/Noise Suppressors designed for enclosed aircraft

and uninstalled engine operation (e.g., T-9, T-10, T-1 1) with fire suppression systems control panels.  Management will ensure only qualified personnel are certified to use the hush house/noise suppressor fire control panel.  The following certification requirements apply:

AFMC Supp 18.11.1.7 No maintenance can be performed on a depot-assigned aircraft without approved dept WCDs.  This ensures there is a complete audit trail of work performed.  Depot mechanics must use WCDs to capture time spent on a task, not the

time spent at work.

 

AFMC Supp 8.12.1.6.3 The Aircraft Supervisor and Mechanics will meet as required at the beginning of each shift to ensure effective crew communication (turnover log,

 

Supportable WCDs, kit status and locations, etc.) occurs between shifts.  Daily crew meetings will occur at shift overlap (if applicable).  The purpose is to receive and pass-on the status of work to the next shift and provide information regarding supportable WCDs and Work Packages to the next shift.  Second and Third shifts will also pass on information regarding work accomplished for day shift support resolution, as appropriate.  The Aircraft Supervisor will ensure critical path operations are continued across all shifts and will deliver reports to relieving supervisors regarding critical path accomplishment.
