scope:

CAM processes provide enterprise management at the AF level by focusing resources on AF priorities. CAM funding encompasses the AF WSS enterprise and the CPFH program. Within WSS, there are four business process areas managed as part of CAM: depot purchased equipment maintenance (DPEM), contractor logistics support (CLS), sustaining engineering (SE), and technical orders (TOs).

The DPEM business process includes multiple sub-categories: aircraft and missile requirements (AMR), engine maintenance, area support/base support/local manufacturing (A/B/M), software maintenance, storage, exchangeables, and other major end items (OMEI). Additionally, the first DPEM sub-category, AMR, has three supporting processes: Engineering Requirements Review Process (ERRP), the Bill of Work (BOW) process, and Maintenance Requirements Supportability Process (MRSP).

The CPFH program covers costs that directly support the following: the launch, recovery, inspection, servicing, and maintenance of an aircraft; the inspection, servicing, and maintenance of an aircraft component or a piece of support equipment that directly supports aircraft maintenance; or the fuel used in the operation of aircraft or support equipment that directly supports aircraft maintenance and fuel. The CPFH budget is comprised of the following components: depot-level reparables (DLR), spares, and exchangeables, consumable supplies, and aviation petroleum, oil, and lubricants (AvPOL).
