The Army owns about 8,000 helicopters. Routine maintenance normally is available at flight organizations or local repair shops. When maintenance requires more complex facilities, equipment, and skills, it is provided at the Corpus Christi, Texas, or New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, Army depots or contractor plants. The Army spends over $177 million annually for depot maintenance of helicopters and their components. In fiscal year 1976 the Secretary of Defense directed the Army to begin using reliability-centered maintenance. This means replacing the former use of extensive scheduled maintenance only when it is meaningful to safety, reliability, and economy. To date, the Army's use of reliability-centered maintenance has been limited to airframe-related programs. The Army has not introduced this method for engines and other components. Its implementation should improve depot operations and reduce current inefficiencies, such as the overhauling of engines without defects simply because they have reached a maximum allowed operating time. Depot effectiveness could be further improved if the Army: (1) reduced concurrent rework of aircraft components and made greater use of the exchange method; (2) made greater use of opportunities to batch process component repair; (3) eliminated the practice of repairing components that are in long supply; and (4) performed only work at the depots which could not be accomplished by field units. At the Corpus Christi Army Depot, it was found that labor and production information were not being properly recorded and reported.

The Army needs to improve its depot maintenance mobilization planning for its 8,000 helicopters. It must first determine realistic requirements and then the appropriate resources needed to meet the requirements. To improve depot effectiveness, the Army should apply the reliability-centered maintenance concept--performing maintenance only when it is meaningful to safety, reliability, and economy--for engines and components as directed by the Secretary of Defense in 1976. Depot effectiveness could be further improved if the Army reduced concurrent rework of aircraft components and made greater use of batch processing. (Author).
