A code that uniquely identifies the system/equipment end item. This code will be assigned by the requiring authority. It will remain constant throughout the item?s life cycle (e.g., TOW, PATRIOT, Tomahawk, Sparrow, and ALCM).
interoperable_item_commercial_and_government_entity_code
A five-character code assigned by the DLIS to the design control activity or actual manufacturer of an item as contained in the Cataloging Handbook H4/H8 Series. Assistance in finding CAGE codes may be found at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/cage_welcome.asp
interoperable_item_federal_supply_classification
Federal Supply Class (FSC) is a code identified under the Federal Cataloging/NATO Codification Systems that identifies the supply classification of an item of supply, an item of production, and/or a homogeneous area of commodities in respect to their physical or performance characteristics. The first two digits identify the group, and the last two digits of the code identify the classes within each group. Each class covers a relatively homogeneous area of commodities, in respect to their physical or performance characteristics, or in the respect that the items included therein are such as are usually requisitioned or issued together, or constitute a related grouping for supply management purposes. The combination of these four digits constitutes the Federal Supply Classification.
For applicable codes, see Catalog Handbook H2 or go to http://www.dlis.dla.mil/hcfsch21.asp
interoperable_item_name
An identifying noun with appropriate adjective modifier, as contained in Federal Item Name Directory for Supply Cataloging, H6-l. Item Names contained in Federal Item Name Directory for Supply Cataloging, H6-l, cannot be abbreviated unless approved by the requiring authority.
Catalog Handbook H6 may be viewed on line at https://www.dlis.dla.mil/H6/default.asp
interoperable_item_national_item_identification_number
A NIIN provides a unique identification of an item of supply within a specified Federal Supply Classification (FSC). The combination of the two identifiers (FSC and NIIN) constitutes the National Stock Number (see Appendix B for a complete definition of National Stock Number and related data). The nine digit NIIN is made up of a two digit NATO Codification Bureau (NCB) code indicating the assigning country (e.g., the United States uses "00" and "01") and the final seven digits are assigned sequentially and have no inherent significance. The NIIN relates to one and only one item of supply within the codifying country. It can consist of one or many "items of production" (i.e., a product of a specific manufacturer) having equivalent "fundamental characteristics."
NOTE: An alphanumeric NIIN is used to document management control or temporarily assigned numbers prior to final NIIN assignment. Final NIINs are completely numeric.
For applicable codes, see DOD 4100.39-M, Volume 10.

Code

Name

Desription

C

Operator/Crew/Unit-Crew

Operations and maintenance that are the responsibility of and performed by the using organization by the system equipment operator/crew on its assigned equipment. Its phases normally consist of inspecting, servicing, lubricating, adjusting, and replacing of parts, minor assemblies, and subassemblies.

O

Organizational/On Equipment/Unit-Organizational

Maintenance that is the responsibility of and performed by the using organization on its assigned equipment. Its phases normally consist of inspecting, servicing, lubricating, adjusting, and replacing of parts, minor assemblies and subassemblies.

F

Intermediate/Direct Support/Afloat/Third Echelon/Off Equipment/ Intermediate-Forward

The next higher maintenance level after Organizational/On Equipment/Unit-Organization. Titles of "Direct Support" and "Third Echelon" are associated with ground support forces; "Intermediate" and "Off Equipment" are with nautical and aviation organizations. Maintenance at this level is the responsibility of, and performed by, designated maintenance activities for direct support of using organizations. Its phases normally consist of: calibration, repair or replacement of damaged or unserviceable parts, components, or assemblies; emergency manufacture of nonavailable parts; and technical assistance to using organizations.

H

Intermediate/General Support/Ashore/Fourth Echelon/Intermediate-Rear

Maintenance performed on material requiring major overhaul or a complete rebuild of parts, subassemblies and end items, including manufacture of parts, modification, testing, and reclamation as required. Includes capabilities described in Intermediate/Direct Support/Afloat/Third Echelon/Off Equipment/Intermediate-Forward.

G

D

Depot/Shipyards

The highest level of maintenance activities. Maintenance performed on material requiring major overhaul or a complete rebuild of parts, subassemblies or end items, including manufacture of parts, modification, testing, and reclamation as required. Depot maintenance serves to support lower categories of maintenance by providing technical assistance and performing whatever maintenance is beyond their responsibility. Depot maintenance provides stocks of serviceable equipment by using more extensive facilities for repair than are available in lower level maintenance activities.

SRA

The "ideal support environment" referred to exists when the stipulated tools, parts, skilled manpower, manuals, SE, and other support items required are available. Ai excludes whatever ready time, preventive maintenance downtime, supply downtime, and administrative downtime may be required. Ai may be expressed by the following formula:


Figure 3 —  Required Inherent Availiability Formula

Figure 3 —  Required Inherent Availiability Formula


Where MTBF = Mean Time Between Failures
MTTR = Mean Time To Repair
NOTE: The measurement bases for MTBF and MTTR must be consistent when calculating Ai.
required_maximum_time_to_repair
See maintenance_level_maximum_time_to_repair
required_mean_time_between_effective_function_failures
An Essential Function Failure (EFF) is an event that results in the loss or operationally unacceptable degradation of an essential function (an EFF may result in a “Partial Mission Capable” status under wartime conditions or reduce its utility in certain operations on the battlefield). By definition, all System Aborts are also EFFs. Abort or failure will occur when the system fails to meet minimum functionality. MTBEFF is an indicator of expected system reliability calculated on a statistical basis from the known Essential Function Failure rates of various components of the system.
For a system: over a performance measurement/test period, the total operating time of the system divided by the total number of Essential Function Failures that have occurred during the performance measurement/test period.
For a population of like systems, during a performance measurement/test period, the total operating time of the population of like systems divided by the total number of Essential Function Failures within the population during the performance measurement/test period. The total operating time of the population is calculated as the summation of the operating time of every like system in the population over the performance measurement/test period.
required_mean_time_between_noneffective_function_failures
A Non-essential Function failure (NEFF) is an event that does not result in the operationally significant degradation or loss of an essential function, but has an obvious indication and a maintenance/corrective action is required to remedy the failure. A NEFF could be deferred to the next maintenance period.
For a particular interval, the total functional life of a population of an item divided by the total number of NEFFs within the population during the measurement interval. The definition holds for any measure of life units.
required_mean_time_between_removals
A measure of the system reliability parameter related to demand for logistics support. The total number of operational units (e.g., miles, rounds, hours) divided by the total number of items removed from that system during a stated period of time. This term is defined to exclude removals performed to facilitate other maintenance and removals for product improvement. MTBR may be calculated by the following formula:


Figure 8 —  Required Mean Time Between Removals Formula

Figure 8 —  Required Mean Time Between Removals Formula


Where:
AOR = Annual operating requirement
CON FAC = Conversion factor for the LCN/ALC item under analysis
TFi = Task frequency of the "i" applicable maintenance action
N = Total number of applicable maintenance actions
i = Applicable maintenance action (See note below)

Note: For a particular task to be applicable, it must meet ALL of the following criteria:
required_mean_time_between_system_aborts
For a system; over a performance measurement/test period, the mean time between system aborts (MTBSA) is the total operating time of the system divided by the total number of System Abort failures that have occurred during the performance measurement/test period.
For a population of like systems, during a performance measurement/test period, the total operating time of the population of like systems divided by the total number of System Abort failures within the population during the performance measurement/test period. Note: The total operating time of the population is calculated as the summation of the operating time of every like system in the population over the performance measurement/test period.
A System Abort is an event that results in the loss or degradation of an essential function(s) that renders the system unable to enter service or causes immediate removal from service, deadlines the platform, or makes it non-mission capable (a system abort reduces its utility to the point that it is deemed ineffective/unsafe in its role on the battlefield). System abort also includes those events that create a personal injury related Category I (catastrophic) or II (critical) hazard as defined in MIL-STD-882.
System abort-mobility failures are those failures (operational hardware, and software) that render (deadline) the basic platform/vehicle mobility subsystem non-mobile/maneuverable, resulting in unsafe operation, or making it non-mission capable.
A System Abort-Mobility is an event that affects a platform's mobility system(s) and renders the system unable to enter service or causes immediate removal from service, results in unsafe operation, deadlines the platform, or makes it non-combat capable.
required_operational_availability
The probability that, when used under stated conditions, a system will operate satisfactorily at any time. This differs from achieved availability in that Ao includes standby time and administrative and logistic delay time. Ao may be expressed by the following formula:


Figure 5 —  Required Operational Availability Formula

Figure 5 —  Required Operational Availability Formula


Where:
OT = Operating time per calendar year
ST = Standby time
TPM = Total preventive maintenance time per calendar year
TCM = Total corrective maintenance time per calendar year
ALDT = Administrative and logistics delay time spent waiting for parts, maintenance personnel, or transportation per calendar year
required_operational_mean_time_between_failures
For a particular interval, the total functional life of a population of an item divided by the total number of failures within the population during the measurement interval. The definition holds for time, rounds, miles, events, or other measure of life units.
Mean time between failures (MTBF) is documented as both technical and operational characteristics. Technical parameters reflect the technical reliability that the system/equipment must demonstrate. In determining these parameter values, all failures and resultant actions to restore the item will be considered (e.g., a broken tail light is a technical, but not operational characteristic). Operational parameters reflect operational reliability and maintainability characteristics that the system must demonstrate. Only operational mission failures and the resultant tasks are included (e.g., engine failure will result in mission abort that is both an operational and technical failure).
required_operational_mean_time_between_maintenance_actions
A MTBMA representing the supportability requirement/specification MTBMA.
The mean of the distribution of the time intervals between actions or groups of actions required to restore an item to, or maintain it in, a specified condition. This entry will be composed of the MTBF, Mean Time Between Maintenance Induced (MTBM INDUCED), Mean Time Between Maintenance No Defect (MTBM NO DEFECT), and Mean Time Between Preventive Maintenance (MTBPM) values. MTBMA may be calculated by the following formula:

MTBMA is documented as both technical and operational characteristics. Technical parameters reflect the technical reliability that the system/equipment must demonstrate. In determining these parameter values, all failures and resultant actions to restore the item will be considered (e.g., a broken tail light is a technical, but not operational characteristic). Operational parameters reflect operational reliability and maintainability characteristics that the system must demonstrate. Only operational mission failures and the resultant tasks are included (e.g., engine failure will result in mission abort that is both an operational and technical failure).
required_operational_mean_time_to_repair
The total elapsed time (clock hours) for corrective maintenance divided by the total number of corrective maintenance actions during a given period of time. MTTR may be calculated by the following formula:

Where:
i = On equipment corrective maintenance actions
TFi = Task frequency of "i" on equipment maintenance action
N = Total number of on equipment corrective maintenance actions charged against the LCN/ALC item under analysis
ETi = Mean elapsed time of the "i" on equipment corrective maintenance action

MTTR is documented as both technical and operational characteristics. Technical parameters reflect the technical reliability that the system/equipment must demonstrate. In determining these parameter values, all failures and resultant actions to restore the item will be considered (e.g., a broken tail light is a technical, but not operational characteristic). Operational parameters reflect operational reliability and maintainability characteristics that the system must demonstrate.
