Integrated Test Coordinator Example Position Description Roles & Responsibilities A. Approve and provide oversight of the contractor s development and management of the Integrated Test Plan (ITP). B. Ensure the ITP is functionally linked to the Integrated Production Schedule per NAVSEA Standard Item 009-60. This linkage shall ensure the ITP is responsive to changes in production schedule such that when production item completion dates change, their associated test dates change as well. This can be accomplished automatically within the framework of scheduling software or can be accomplished manually at a periodicity of at least weekly. C. Ensure the ITP includes all testing for all maintenance activities. Act as; Ensure; Collect. 19 Total Roles & Responsibilities currently identified Required Qualifications A.

Individual Maintenance Training - SOSMRC Objective: The course is focused on providing Prospective Commanding Officers (PCOs) and Prospective Executive Officers with core knowledge and skills such as damage control procedures, equipment operation, material self-assessment, and shipboard safety requirements Recent updates to the course focus on material self-assessments and material readiness Training has classroom and hands-on segments Regular NRMC engagements with SOSMRC to educate PCOs on new efforts in the maintenance community 7 7
Core Group Training - Maintenance University Ship s Force example Objective: The training is focused on providing Ship s Force the processes, procedures and subject matter knowledge to perform preventative maintenance on their ship in an effort to reach ESL. SMEs and Ship s Force visit a host ship to be trained in the processes and procedures of preventative maintenance Sailors gain first-hand experience performing maintenance duties Ships receive supervised maintenance during the training Special attention is paid to corrosion control 8 8
Maintenance Team Training : IPTD Goals and Objectives Align Project Teams with shared mission, visions, expectations and strategies Brings key stakeholders customers together (public and private) at specific times during advance planning and execution Reinforce Project Team skills, roles and responsibilities, communications, meeting processes and accountability Rapidly adopt/incorporate Lessons Learned and Best Practices from past availabilities Review and refine project planning and execution products while applying project management methods, tools, and processes to availability planning and execution Mitigates risks (availability planning and execution) through early identification of issues and communication Provides professional development Reduced availability costs 9
Team Training Execution: Integrated Project Team Development (IPTD) Execute IPTD Events on CNO Availabilities: A-360: Initial Planning Meeting A-270: Strategic Alignment, Team Development A-195: Strategy Development A-120: Tactical Preparation, Work Integration & Execution Plan Development A-30: Execution Readiness Mid-Avail: Regroup, Refocus, Realign IPTD Event Deliverables: build the avail project plan, mitigate risks, align and develop the team, reinforce roles and responsibilities, integrate work, incorporate lessons learned and best practices, refine project planning and execution products, apply project management methods, tools, processes, facilitate the development of a functional team. Execute events with consistency across all RMC Status: Pilot : 26 IPTD Events Completed Policy Development in progress FY12 Funding: Ramp up to execute IPTD events on avails with various manning/work package complexity FY13: Fully fund and implement IPTD events across CNO Avails 10
