Core Products
We manage the long-term maintenance requirements of surface ships with the following products:
Availability Analysis Study: These written analyses are conducted when an availability is proposed for cancellation or when there is a shift beyond the technical or OPNAV programmed periodicity. The process involves a detailed review of the maintenance history, current ship's health, and technical requirements to assess the risks associated with the availability proposal. The study is then provided to the Type Commander (TYCOM) and Fleet staffs, with notification also sent to the Ship Design Manager (SDM).
Baseline Availability Work Package (BAWP): A BAWP consists of the repair, assessment, modernization and service tasks to support the Fleet Response Plan (FRP) maintenance cycle for each ship.
Change Management Documentation: Deferral letters are used to provide technical review and adjudication of mandatory technical requirements that the Type Commander (TYCOM) has requested to defer to a subsequent Fleet Readiness Program (FRP) maintenance cycle. This review assesses the risk of deferral and offers a recommendation to the Ship Design Manager (SDM) and Technical Warrant Holder.
Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Availability Completion Study: This study involves a review of the financial and technical requirements of a completed availability. The cost data and work items are examined to identify growth and new work, which helps support future resourcing and planning of depot-level maintenance. The cost information is collated to ensure that departure costs are correctly aligned with the original work item, with corrections fed back into various historical maintenance databases.
Class Maintenance Plan (CMP): The SURFMEPP Class Maintenance Plan (CMP) includes intermediate and depot-level repair and assessment tasks required for a class of ships to support life cycle maintenance and material readiness. It also encompasses the services and routine tasks necessary to support these requirements. CMP tasks include all mandatory materials needed to accomplish maintenance and reduce the risk of maintenance delays due to material availability.
Corrosion Plan (CP): The CP is a comprehensive tool for tanks, voids, and general structures, providing a real-time comparison of data recorded in the Surface Corrosion Control Information Management System (CCIMS) and the data in the Navy Maintenance Material Management system. The CP is a critical planning tool for various SURFMEPP departments and divisions, offering engineered tank/void assessments and maintenance requirements, Level 1 assessment results, and corrosion-related repair tasks.
Master Specification Catalog (MSC): The MSC is the repository of all Class Standard Work Templates (CSWT), Standard Work Templates, and associated Template Preliminary Estimates. These templates are used by Planning Activities, such as Specification Development and Availability Execution Support (SDAES) and Regional Maintenance Centers (RMCs), to develop Work Item Specifications for the execution of contracted depot-level maintenance. The use of the MSC promotes standardization and the efficient use of planning products, reducing costs, supporting production schedules, and increasing the quality of contracted work. SURFMEPP is designated as the MSC Maintenance Office and is responsible for the review and approval of all MSC updates.
Ship Sheet: The Ship Sheet documents the labor and material costs associated with each ship’s CNO availability maintenance requirements. It is developed by comparing the current condition of the ship against the Technical Foundation Paper to determine necessary adjustments above or below the notional requirements.
Surface Ship Engineered Operating Cycles (SSEOC) Annual Report: The SSEOC Annual Report is provided to the CNO, via NAVSEA. It summarizes the previous fiscal year's compliance with technical requirements and lists all OPNAV SSEOC reportable violations at the hull level. SSEOC tasks represent the most critical Class Maintenance Plan (CMP) assessments and other designated repairs.
Technical Foundation Paper (TFP): The TFP is the notional maintenance plan for a ship from delivery to decommissioning, identifying the maintenance required to meet the Expected Service Life (ESL). It provides a notional long-range maintenance schedule that includes man-days, availability periodicity, and availability duration for depot-level maintenance. SURFMEPP maintains TFPs for each ship class.
