What must DMS personnel do to facilitate aircraft parts ordering?

To facilitate aircraft parts ordering effectively, DMS personnel must receive required data from maintenance to support issue requests. This step is crucial because accurate and timely information regarding the parts needed for aircraft maintenance ensures that the ordering process can meet operational requirements. Maintenance personnel often provide specific insights about what parts are necessary, their quantities, and any urgency associated with the requests. This data informs DMS personnel on how to prioritize and process orders for parts, ensuring that aircraft can be repaired and operational in the shortest time possible.

While submitting reports, obtaining approval, and conducting inventory checks are all important activities within the broader spectrum of materiel management, they do not directly facilitate the immediate ordering of aircraft parts as effectively as obtaining precise data from maintenance. Those other tasks support the process but do not play a direct role in informing the specific needs of the maintenance teams at the moment of ordering.
