Equipment Induction into the Maintenance Cycle
Maintenance Equipment Induction:
The upkeep of Principle End Items (PEI) and Mission Essential Equipment (MEE) is vital to the success of any Marine Corps organization. Without the use of Principle End Items (PEI) or in this case, engineer equipment assets, the equipment operator cannot fully perform their Mission Essential Task (METL). This would degrade the overall success of the organization and lessen the unit’s ability to perform in a combat function. Proper care and preventive maintenance is the best way to ensure that the equipment is functional and performing to its capabilities. In the rare occasions when the PEI has a major defect and requires corrective maintenance, the induction process is just as important as correcting the defect and getting the PEI back to the owning unit. The steps necessary to induct the PEI into the maintenance cycle and having each defect repaired are listed as followed:

In the rare occasions when the PEI has a major defect and requires corrective maintenance, the induction process is just as important as correcting the defect and getting the PEI back to the owning unit. The steps necessary to induct the PEI into the maintenance cycle and having each defect repaired are listed as followed:
- Owning unit identifies equipment defect and opens an Equipment Repair Order (ERO). The ERO and the equipment are turned into the maintenance facility.
- The maintenance facility will take the ERO and equipment from the owning unit and perform an Limited Technical Inspection (LTI) to locate the defect and determine if any repairs are to be completed and if repair parts will need to be ordered.
- If the maintenance facility has the capability and authorization to perform the repairs, it will order the repair parts using an Equipment Repair Order Shopping List (EROSL) and make corrections to the defect once the repair parts are received. (If the maintenance facility does not have the capability or authorization to perform the repairs, it will evacuated the equipment to a higher echelon of maintenance facility. If that facility is unable to correct the noted defect, it will request for disposition or replacement of equipment from a higher echelon of maintenance facility.)
- Once all the repair parts are received, the parts are placed on the equipment.
- A Quality Control (QC) inspector will ensure that the defect/s were properly repaired before returning the equipment to the owning unit.
- The ERO is closed out and returned along with the equipment to the owning unit/operator.
