The Navy's Intermediate Ship Maintenance Program Can Be Improved

Gao ID: LCD-77-412 September 23, 1977

The Navy has been emphasizing intermediate level maintenance on its ships as a way to improve operational readiness and to increase the time between major overhauls.

The Navy's intermediate maintenance program has evolved without sufficient consideration of such basic issues as: defining and quantifying work requirements; identifying ways to assess and improve productivity; analyzing operating costs and possible economic alternatives; and evaluating the impact of changing maintenance concepts.
