Abstract
This article describes the Asset Management/Maintenance Improvement (AMMI) initiative: the first focused Deep Space Network (DSN) initiative intended to improve the efficiency and efficacy of maintenance, support improvement in equipment reliability, and provide metrics for use in understanding equipment reliability and the use of maintenance resources. The initiative has resulted in the introduction of many new processes and procedures including the global use of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) and Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) concepts. The work performed as part of the AMMI initiative represents significant changes to the DSN maintenance culture that has been in place for over 40 years.
