Abstract:

Equipment Serviceability Criteria ESC are required by Army regulation on maintenance-significant, mission-essential equipment. The ESC is used to determine the combat readiness of equipment and thus of combat units. Therefore, the validity of the information provided is critical and can best be assured by a systematic method for preparing the ESC. Developing systematic procedures on an exploratory basis involved two phases. In the first, checks are selected to determine the equipments immediate and ensuing 90-day capability to perform as required by its mission, and in the second, performance requirements are established for accomplishing the checks. Suggestions were developed for a communication system for effectively transmitting the requirements to the man who will perform the checks. Author
