So I was reading Collectible Classics, a British mag, and they had a really neat 2 page article on the Alfa Gulia (GTV). The article was a laundry list of service items and intervals for the Gulia. It was broken down by intervals sort of like this:

Stuff to do:

Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Quaterly
Annually
2 Years
3 Years

Alot of the items were Alfa and Gulia specific, but some were just good common sense.

Anyway, if anyone wants to volunteer items for a maintenance and I will put the list together and share it.

If this has been done before, please send me a copy. =)

Thanks,
Joe

I used to take care of a rocket launcher and a bunch of rockets for the Navy. They had a program similar to what you are discussing. There was a file of cards that my junior seaman would head for first thing in the morning. I would have a chart posting the work schedule for the day. They would grab the days cards and start with the "dailies" things that had to be done every day. The card listed what, where, and how. It had a list of tools, lubes and any special equipment needed. My troops completed the task, checked it off on the 'Work Schedule Chart" and then go for the weeklies followed by any monthly, quarterly, or annuals. I kept up the chart from the master book which was updated by the guys in the "puzzle palace" and life was sweet. Is this what you had in mind?? MSG L

My list has one item blow the dust off it every so often

PMS (Preventative Maintenance System for you civilians ) Mine was sonar. Yeah, the system worked well because it led you by the hand...because many of the people were idiots or didn't give a hoot. Maybe that's changed now that they require a high school degree (like that means anything nowadays... ).

boy, am I your expert on the Navy's PMS system. it was neat because each maintenance card included a list of the tools and materials necesssary, the safety precautions, the level of expertise required, then the actual procedure. related ("while you are in there") items were also listed. it was connected to a navy-wide data base so that they could see patterns of broken things, determine the volume of spares to be carried, etc. feedback forms kept everything updated. it would be an interesting and effective template for a 914 repair and maintence system. starting with the owners manual and following with the collective expertise of everyone here.
