Common support equipment used by both ship’s force and naval aviation units shall have Planned Maintenance System support in accordance with this instruction. d. Management of shipboard PMS and corrective maintenance is the responsibility of the Commanding Officer. It is imperative that Commanding Officers maintain a comprehensive program within their command to monitor the health of their maintenance system. To this end, an aggressive spot check/self assessment/evaluation program is vital to ensure quality maintenance is being performed. The number of spot checks required each week will vary between units and will be determined by the command’s 3-M Manager. Periodic self- assessments/evaluations should be conducted by each Commanding Officer to determine the exact state of their programs. 4. Background. 3-M 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. The primary objective of 3-M is to manage shipboard maintenance in a manner, which will ensure maximum equipment and system operational readiness. Reference (a) contains OPNAV policy regarding 3-M and assigns responsibilities to NAVSEASYSCOM Field Activities, Systems Commands (SYSCOMS) and the Naval Medical Command for providing support. 5. Introduction. This manual has been developed in accordance with reference (a) and is designed to provide the user with a ready reference for all aspects concerning shipboard maintenance. It is divided into the following four sections: a. Section I (1) Chapter 1 Planned Maintenance System (PMS). (2) Chapter 2 Initial Maintenance System Installation and Upgrade During Overhaul.

Submission of Changes to this Manual. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) (N43) has final approval for all changes, corrections, or deviations made to this instruction (Ships' 3-M Manual). Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA 04RM) is responsible for the management of these changes with Naval Sea Logistics Center (NAVSEALOGCEN) Mechanicsburg assisting with the research, coordination, and consolidation of all change recommendations. Naval Sea Logistics Center (NAVSEALOGCEN) Mechanicsburg, Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV), and Naval Education Training Command (NETC), when necessary, shall provide to NAVSEA 04RM periodic updates of those portions of this manual under their cognizance to keep the manual current. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARSYSCEN) Norfolk and Naval Sea Logistics Center (NAVSEALOGCEN) Mechanicsburg, when requested by 3 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com on 2012-07-04T0:14:57. NAVSEAINST 4790.8B NAVSEASYSCOM, shall assist with changes affecting the system software, processing, or storage. a. Manual Advance Change Notice (MACN): A change issued to correct policy or procedure, which severely affects maintenance, equipment, readiness, or ship/personnel safety. An approved MACN will be issued immediately by message without waiting for the next routine manual change. MACNs remain in effect until incorporated into the next routine manual change. A sequential number identifying the MACN, followed by the calendar year (e.g., MACN 1-00, MACN 2-00, MACN 3-00), will be assigned to each MACN issued. b. Routine Manual Change: A change issued to enhance and correct policies and procedures not considered urgent. Changes in format or composition, changes made to clarify text, correct punctuation or spelling, update figure examples, or change codes are other examples considered routine. When approved and issued, a routine manual change cancels effective MACNs and consolidates them with routine change recommendations. These changes will be incorporated in the electronic document posted on the Web site (http://www.nslc.navsea.navy.mil/nslcprod/4790.nsf) and will be distributed via the next PMS Force Revision CD-ROM. c. Urgent Change Recommendations: Any individual or activity having knowledge of a situation, policy, or procedure adversely affecting critical functions in the ships' 3-M Manual shall report this information by message to NAVSEASYSCOM (NAVSEA 04RM) and the chain of command with information copies to CNO (N43) and NAVSEALOGCEN Mechanicsburg. Upon receipt of an urgent change recommendation, NAVSEASYSCOM/NAVSEALOGCEN will research and coordinate the report and make a recommendation to CNO. If warranted, a MACN will be developed and issued. d. Routine Change Recommendation: A routine change recommendation shall be submitted, with justification, by electronic medium to NAVSEASYSCOM (NAVSEA 04RM) at http://www.nslc.navsea.navy.mil/nslcprod/4790.nsf via the chain of command with a copy to CNO (N43). The format for submitting a routine change is on the web site. Following the chain of command review, NAVSEASYSCOM will forward the change recommendation(s) to NAVSEALOGCEN Mechanicsburg. Each recommendation will then be acknowledged by return email by NAVSEALOGCEN Mechanicsburg to the originator. All routine change recommendations will be researched, reviewed, validated, and coordinated with affective organizations by 4 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com on 2012-07-04T0:14:57. NAVSEAINST4790.8B 1 3 NOV 2OOJ Upon resolution, these recommendations become valid entries in the next manual changepackage. e. When instructed by NAVSEASYSCOM, NAVSEALOGCEN Mechanicsburg will consolidate effective MACNs with resolved routine change recommendations and will be issued with the PMS Force Revision on CD-ROM. f. A deviation request shall be submitted, with justification, when a need exists to depart from policies, procedures, and/or responsibilities as stated in OPNAVINST 4790.4D and in this instruction. Requests will be made in writing to NAVSEASYSCOM (NAVSEA 04RM) via the chain of command with a copy to CNO (N43) and NAVSEALOGCEN Mechanicsburg (N62). Receipt of all requests will be acknowledged following the chain of conunand review. Each situation or circumstances creating the need for deviation will be evaluated on an individual basis. NAVSEASYSCOM/NAVSEALOGCEN Mechanicsburg will coordinate with the involved activities to verify the need for the deviation and make the appropriate recommendation to CNO for approval. An approved request does not warrant a change to the manual. 5 NAVSEASYSCOM/NAVSEALOGCEN. Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com on 2012-07-04T0:14:57.
