management at all levels in properly
discharging their responsibilities in the
efficient management of the transportation
program.
11200 Series
• The purpose of this publication is to establish
policy, assign actions and give guidance for
the Naval Construction Force Equipment
Management program.
P-307
The purpose of this publication
– To maintain the level of safety and
reliability built into each unit of
applicable equipment by the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM);
– To ensure optimum service life
P-307
– To provide uniform standards for
licensing of WHE operators;
– To ensure the safe lifting and
controlling capability of WHE and
promote safe operating practices
through the inspection, test,
certification, qualification, and
operation requirements prescribed
herein.
NAVSEA 4790.8B
The purpose of this publication
– 3M is designed to provide ships, and
applicable shore stations with a
simple and standard means for
planning, scheduling, controlling, and
performing maintenance on all
shipboard systems and equipment.
NAVSEA 4790.8B
The purpose of this publication
– The primary objective of 3-M is to
manage maintenance in a manner,
which will ensure maximum
equipment and system operational
readiness.
Civil Engineer Support
Equipment
• PQS Question 107.3 Describe the term deadline
and its effects on availability.
• Reference: COMFIRSTNCDINST 11200.2
Deadline
• The term "deadline" applies to any item of
equipment that, in the opinion of the
Maintenance Supervisor, parts cannot be
obtained, or equipment cannot be safely
operated within a period of 72 hours or more
without endangering the operator or
equipment performance. Overall availability
decreases with equipment on deadline.

Equipment
• PQS Question 107.4 Describe the purpose of
equipment lay up (3M).
• Reference: NAVSEA 4790.8B
Lay up
• Place equipment in live storage when there is
no foreseeable need for the equipment for a
period of two preventive maintenance (PM)
cycles or 80 working days. All cranes,
however, shall be maintained in an active
status under control of the crane crew. The
CESE eligible for live storage must be in A4
condition.
IEM
• Inactive Equipment Maintenance - To implement procedures
for the accomplishment of PMS for equipment declared in an
inactive status, current PMS schedules are modified to
annotate the requirements listed in the IEM section of the
Maintenance Index Page (MIP). For advance planning and
scheduling of maintenance to take place, it is necessary to
determine and identify the extent that ship's force personnel
will apply PMS during an inactive period. MIPs in each Work
Center will be reviewed to determine if equipment has IEM
coverage, if the coverage is adequate, and what procedure to
follow if there is no IEM coverage on the MIP in question. The
Department Head is responsible for determining equipment
IEM status.
Status I & Status II
• Status I. Equipment that will remain on
board and will be inactive for thirty days or
longer and is not scheduled for corrective
maintenance or overhaul.
• Status II. Equipment that is inactive for thirty
days or longer and is directly subject to
corrective maintenance, overhaul, or removal
for safe storage/replacement.
