Program Analyst, SURFMEPP Baseline Availability Work Package (BAWP) Manager As SURFMEPP BAWP Manager (Combatants) Mr. Hicks reviews proposed availability work packages for technical accuracy, configuration accuracy, and Long Range Maintenance Schedule (LRMS) compliance, Class Maintenance Plan (CMP) adherence, and Fleet Response Plan (FRP) scheduling requirements. He creates CMP task class fielding schedules in support of new or existing CMP technical requirements and conducts ship availability change analysis used to identify shifts of availabilities, cancellation of availabilities, and utilized in support of FRP and Program Objective Memorandum (POM) cycle requirements and enterprise Master Plans technical compliance and executability. He also consults with the Government authorized engineering agents where procedure(s) and/or master specification(s) are missing from the CMP requirement to include: Class configuration changes, In Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) and Class System/Ship advisories, Ship Modernization and changes to NSTM, JFMM or other technical documents. His support is instrumental to budgetary inputs in support of the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) process and Department of the Navy (DON)/Fleet Availability Scheduling Team (FAST) inputs. This requires close coordination of Fleet and Program Modernization OPNAV resource sponsors, Fleet Commanders and TYCOMs.

Mr. Hicks assists Commander, Navy Regional Maintnance Center ( CNRMC) in monitoring, minimizing risks in, and prioritizing output of technical and financial execution of RMC mission workload by gathering operational metrics, provides analysis and drafts reports for CNRMC leadership for the oversight of ship maintenance operations. Mr. Hicks also supports data call/reports from NAVSEA and Fleet leadership that impact the Regional Maintenance Center (RMC) Enterprise and produces analysis on RMC products and functions (i.e. Total Ships Readiness Assessments, operational availability (Ao), Lost Operational Days, Workload, W=X=Y=Z+D, etc.) to support metrics analysis and forecasting across the RMC Enterprise. Mr. Hicks drafts reports detailing data analysis of historical information and engineering estimates for maintenance applicable in the performance of specific maintenance work items on Navy ships. These reports are used to evaluate general trends in to perform maintenance, monitor deviation in cost trends, and provide recommendations to CNRMC leadership to establish standards of expected or “Should Cost” against which the Navy can assess budgets and cost differences in the performance of work among the RMC maintenance providers holding MSMO contracts. Mr. Hicks gathers ship maintenance progress reports, metrics and performance data; collates and display same; and provides draft reports and analysis for CNRMC leadership to take corrective action in the oversight of ship maintenance execution.
