• This paper describes the goals and objectives of the Future of the Planned Maintenance System (FoPMS) Project. The large scope of the project provides a comprehensive solution to address the Planned Maintenance System (PMS) issues and challenges facing the Navy today, including:PMS Documents and Infrastructure. PMS document and content structures, analysis tools, data repositories, and requirements for content not included in today's system requirements.Shipboard PMS Processes. PMS scheduling applications, data collection tools, PMS and Maintenance and Material Management (3-M) inspection tools, and mobile device capabilities.PMS Authoring and Publishing Tools. PMS authoring tools, PMS quality assurance tools, continuous distribution mechanisms, and PMS trouble ticket management (feedback reports).Ship Maintenance Improvement Program (SMIP). PMS data analysis, PMS quality assurance tools, and Maintenance Effectiveness Reviews (MERs).NAVSEA and Fleet Policies. Recommend changes to the OPNAVINST 4790.4, NAVSEA INST 4790.8, joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (jFMM), and MIL STD 3034 to provide an optimal set of business rules to meet the current Navy needs and FoPMS Project tools.PMS Training Materials. Develop reference materials for the new Future of PMS tools and classroom training materials for the primary roles in the PMS Lifecycle.The FoPMS Project will be an extension of PMS improvements that are already underway. The benefits to the fleet are of wide interest to the ASNE membership and this paper directly addresses innovations featured at the 2014 ASNE FMMS. Frequent and unexpected material problems on U.S. Navy ships in 2009 led the U.S. Navy surface fleet to realize that past maintenance and modernization decisions had resulted in ship conditions much worse than expected (Balisle 2010). Ship performance and the ability to reach planned service life had been compromised over many years, potentially costing the Navy billions of dollars in early replacements. In response, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsored a project with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) under a Total Ownership Cost (TOC) research initiative to find a way to effectively manage the life cycle value of complex assets, like warships, on a day-to-day/ year-to-year basis. The project developed a maintenance framework capable of assessing ship material condition, expected life cycle and risk of failure over the course of the ship's life to influence short-term maintenance and operational decisions. The framework became the basis for a dynamic simulation model of surface combatant material condition, which was validated with historical material inspection scores. The framework and simulation model provide actionable insight in support of maintenance and modernization management, and can be readily adapted to other complex engineered systems.
