It is impossible to discuss the total not mission capable maintenance rates and standards without including discussions of the mission capable and the total not mission capable supply rates and standards. These three rates are dependent upon one another.
The featured article in this edition of the Journal is part three of a three-part series that examined total not mission capable maintenance (TNMCM) rates for the C-5 fleet. Part one can be found in Air Force Journal of Logistics, Volume XXXI, Number 4 and part two in Volume XXXII, Number 1.
Part one presented a new method for determining available maintenance capacity--net effective personnel (NEP). The NEP calculations were ultimately used in conjunction with historical demand to propose base-level maintenance capacity realignments resulting in projected improvements in the C-5 TNMCM rate. In part two, the research demonstrated that home station logistics departure reliability is aligned with neither aircraft availability nor TNMCM. Maintainers at the wing level work to support ...
