105.1 Define the following acronyms:

a. SSC - Supply Support Center b. SRS - Supply Response Section c. CCS - Component Control Section d. RAM - Repairable Asset Management

105.2 Discuss the basic functions of the following units of SRS:

a. Requisition Control Unit (RCU) - Receives all requests for material requirements, prepares appropriate documentation, maintains appropriate files and registers, and provides status to the customer. b. Technical Research Unit (TRU) - Responsible for the verification of requisition data such as part number, stock number, and other technical data. c. Program Management Unit (PMU) - Responsible for processing and expediting high-priority requirements, such as NMCS/PMCS, broad arrow, work stoppage, EXREP items. Distributes daily status listings and performs a continuous reconciliation of outstanding requirements between supply and maintenance activities. d. Material Delivery Unit (MDU) - Responsible for the pick-up and delivery of all material. Fragile material and delicate components that require special handling, including special padding, racks and so on, should be delivered to the most direct route to reduce the risk of damage.

105.3 Discuss the basic functions of the following CCS units:

a. Document Control Unit (DCU) - Responsible for the control of all non-RFI components in the IMA repair cycle, components awaiting turn-in from customers, and all associated documents. b. Supply Screening Unit (SSU) - Responsible for processing all items returned from the IMA. The SSU prepares the retrograde material for shipment to the designated support point within two workdays. c. Local Repair Cycle Assets (LRCA) - Those components within the repair cycle, including all items in the rotatable pool, that are able to be repaired on board. They�re maintained under the custody of the LRCA storage unit. d. Awaiting Parts Unit (AWP) - Known affectionately as the �AWP Locker�, the AWP is responsible for receiving, storing, and controlling all AWP components returned from the IMA. This unit should be located next to production control.

105.4 Discuss the following:

a. Federal Logistic (FEDLOG) data - An interactive data base, located on the ship's LAN, that provides the researcher with parts data for all items carried by the Federal Government Supply System. b. Aviation Consolidated Allowance List (AVCAL) - A listing of repair parts, required for use by repair work centers, authorized to be stored on board for future requisitions.

105.5 Discuss the purpose of the Aircraft Material Readiness Report (AMRR). - Basically, a daily message that provides a snap shot as to the readiness of the Carrier Air Wing. A �status� report, the AMRR lists all aircraft systems and test benches assigned to a particular battle group and their current level of availability. The AMRR lists such information as high-priority aircraft and bench components that have been ordered and other pertinent information deemed necessary by the Air Wing Commander.
