By order of the Commander, Air Force Materiel Command, this AFMC Guidance Memorandum immediately changes AFI 21-101_AFMCSUP, dated 10 November 2020. Compliance with this

Memorandum is mandatory. To the extent its directions are inconsistent with other AFMC publications, the information herein prevails, in accordance with DAFI 90-160, Publications and Forms Management.

Ensure all records created as a result of processes prescribed in this publication are maintained in accordance with AFI 33-322, Records Management and Information Governance Program, and disposed of in accordance with the Air Force Records Disposition Schedule located in the Air Force Records

Management System.

This GM incorporates DAFI21-101_AFMCSUP_AFMCGM 2022-01, dated 5 July 2022, that implemented the reorganization and transfer of United States Space Force responsibility to publish

MAJCOM level supplemental guidance to DAFI 21-101, Aircraft and Equipment Maintenance

Selection, Enhanced Reliability Centered Maintenance (eRCM), Sensor-Based Algorithms, and

CBM+ Deployment.

(Add) 11.42.1. Predictive Maintenance Alert Loop (PMAL). A six-step collaborative process that allows stakeholders to receive and act upon the results of eRCM analyses and/or sensor-based algorithms/modules. PMAL transforms eRCM forecasts and sensor-based algorithm alerts into Mx and supply chain actions and is a critical component in the integration of a successful

USAF Predictive Mx culture.

(Add) 11.42.2. Governance. A CBM+ Team is assigned per weapon system and includes representatives from AFLCMC/RO; Program Office; the MAJCOM, including direct CBM+ support, Weapon System Managers/Weapon System Teams (WSMs/WSTs) and field unit contacts; and AFSC supply chain management. For platforms managing many main operating bases, a field representative may also serve as an optional member of the CBM+ Team to provide feedback on the execution of Mx. The CBM+ Team oversees the execution of the

PMAL. The CBM+ Team meets on an as-needed basis to discuss the most recently published forecast, the locations of affected aircraft, and the availability of supply to make informed, collaborative decisions and recommendations.

(Add) 11.42.3. Plan and Schedule Maintenance. Refer to the respective MAJCOM guidance on how and when to schedule maintenance for assigned locations. When supply is limited or aircraft are deployed or preparing for mission deployment, the MAJCOM may prioritize Mx requirements or coordination with applicable supporting organizations.

(Add) 11.42.3.1. Access the CBM+ Forecast via the Predictive Analytics and Decision Assistant tool at: https://cbmplus.cce.af.mil/. Units must access the CBM+ Forecast on the 15th of each month (or the next duty day if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday) in order to forecast the maintenance schedule priority. Communicate any inconsistencies to the MAJCOM

WST/managers. (T-2) Note: Individual CBM+ component threshold hours will change over time.

(Add) 11.42.3.1.1. Units can contact the AFMC/A4M CBM+ manager at:

AFMC.A4M.Workflow@us.af.mil to obtain information/sponsorship to gain access to the

CBM+ Forecast via the Predictive Analytics and Decision Assistant tool.

(Add) 11.42.3.2. Work Unit Codes/Logistics Control Numbers (components) selected for CBM+ are tracked by individual aircraft tail numbers to predict the component’s remaining life to failure. The intent of CBM+ is to drive unscheduled maintenance into scheduled maintenance, thereby optimizing the limited maintenance resources and improving aircraft availability.

(Add) 11.42.3.3. CBM+ Access. If available, maintenance units will utilize the CBM+ Forecast applicable for assigned MDS(s) to view, schedule maintenance, order parts, complete replacement actions, and record the maintenance actions for each aircraft.

(Add) 11.42.3.4. The scheduling priority is based on the CBM+ threshold with the highest priority for aircraft with components over the threshold, followed by the aircraft with components forecasted for removal within the next 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180-day intervals.

(Add) 11.42.3.5. Each CBM+ component forecasted for removal should be scheduled in conjunction with the closest scheduled maintenance event where the CBM+ maintenance action can take place. Example: Units may determine, through the local scheduling process, that an aircraft with a component forecasted for removal that is within the 30-day to 180-day threshold is already scheduled down and may elect to complete the CBM+ maintenance action ahead of an aircraft that has a component that is over the threshold. This is a local decision and meets the objective of CBM+ by employing opportunistic maintenance to prevent an anticipated part failure.

(Add) 11.42.3.5.1. Consult maintenance tasks SMEs for the typical time duration the maintenance action takes in order to appropriately schedule the task as required.

(Add) 11.42.3.5.2. Parts loaded into the MIS that are CBM+ items will be loaded to fully track https://cbmplus.cce.af.mil/ mailto:AFMC.A4M.Workflow@us.af.mil component history and life usage. Automated History Events will be enabled for parts loaded with CBM+ Work Unit Codes/Logistics Control Numbers and the Maintenance Type Interval will be established as “H” (for hours) based on the end item’s operating time.

(Add) 11.42.3.6. Units should align the CBM+ forecasted maintenance with other planned/scheduled events and order the part(s) to ensure the DIFM 14-day policy is not violated.

(Add) 11.42.3.6.1. Units are to use project code 063 and urgency justification AU/BU when ordering the CBM+ WUC/LCN part.

(Add) 11.42.3.6.2. Units should not pull parts from the MRSP to fill CBM+ parts orders.

(Add) 11.42.3.7. Units are encouraged to utilize profile job standards for each CBM+

WUC/LCN to standardize maintenance entries.

*(Add) 12.6. (AFMC) Maintenance Personnel Requirements. Air Force Sustainment Center

(AFSC) Instruction 62-100, Military Repair Station Program, has been superseded by AFSCI

62-603, Military Repair Station Program.
