Abstract:
For many years Ground Support Equipment (GSE) was periodically proof loaded based on NSTS 08171, Operations and Maintenance Requirements and Specifications Documents (OMRSDs) File VI requirements. This caused premature wear of components, decreased safety, and increased time to perform maintenance. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology was used to determine optimum maintenance tactics for GSE and flight assets.
