What is MRD
-
Technical equipment and Systems provide a fundamental input to the
generation of overall ADF capability. However, without adequate
maintenance, these systems and equipment will eventually fail to
function in a safe and reliable manner which has the potential for
loss of capability or human life.
-
Maintenance is, however, an expensive business that needs to be
carefully planned and executed to maximise system availability at
minimal cost over the materiel life cycle. An over maintained
system absorbs excessive maintenance resources without necessarily
improving reliability or availability, whilst an under maintained
system will eventually begin to exhibit unacceptable failure rates
and poor availability that will directly impact capability and
safety.
- The
systematic determination of maintenance requirements is essential
to continuing equipment and preparedness and, therefore, a
significant factor in the efficient and effective delivery of
military capability.
-
Maintenance requirements for all technical equipment is determined
through a formalised process called Maintenance Requirements
Determination (MRD). This produces a comprehensive Maintenance
Policy in the form of a Technical Maintenance Plan (TMP) and
associated Planned Servicing Schedules (PSS).
