NAVSEC 6260 (Provisioning, Allowance, Outfitting and Miscellaneous Material Support  Division) NAVSEC  6260  directs  the  review  and  analysis  of engineering trends and problem areas identified by CASREPS.  This  data  helps  ensure  that  shipboard allowance lists support material readiness of the fleet. NAVSEA 07 (Industry and Facility Management) NAVSEA 07 coordinates any action that should be taken  to  relate  CASREPs  to  shore  activities. SUPSALV  (Supervisor  of  Salvage) SUPSALV  coordinates  NAVSEA  CASREP  action on  collisions,  strandings,  sinkings,  fires  at  sea,  salvage, port/channel   blockages,   missing   and   sunken submarines, and natural disasters. SUPSALV must approve  all  NAVSEA  actions  on  CASREPS  if  they affect  salvage  operations. SNEP(PMS 301) (Ship Acquisition Project) The SNEPs carry out the following functions for all NAVSEA  activities  except  those  involving  nuclear reactors, which will be discussed later in this chaptcr: . Serve as the focus point for CASREP action on new construction and conversion ships and craft that are within  their  guarantee  periods.  Review  and  approve  all outgoing CASREP messages for those purposes. l  Direct  technical,  procurement,  or  production managers to provide information or take the appropriate action required by a CASREP message. Ship  Maintenance  Managers (Maintenance-Type  Desks) Ship maintenance managers are responsible for the following   NAVSEA   functions   except   for   those involving nuclear reactors, which will be discussed later in this chapter: l  Serve  as  a  focal  point  for  CASREP  action  on ships in the active fleet. . Direct the appropriate technical, procurerment, or production managers to provide information or take appropriate  action  as  required  by  the  nature  of  a CASREP  message. .  Review  and  approve  all  outgoing  CASREP messages  for  actions  concerning  active  fleet  ships  for which  they  have  responsibility. DETECTION, ACTION, AND RESPONSE TECHNIQUE (DART) PROGRAM The DART program grew out of a need to improve the  way  the  Navy  focuses  attention  and  resources  for the best material readiness. CNM assigned the task to NAVSEASYSCOM,   which   developed   the   DART program.   It   was   promulgated   in   1971   by NAVMATINST 4790.10. It establishes procedures and assigns  responsibilities  within  the  Naval  Material Command  to  identify  and  correct  the  most  serious shipboard  equipment  problems.  It  includes  the  analysis of  information  and  identification  of  the  problem concerning  a  particular  type  of  equipment  or  system, proposed  solutions,  and  the  necessary  resources  in funds and manpower to carry out the program. The   DART   program   includes   all   shipboard equipment except that under the Strategic Systems Project Office (SSPO) and NAVSHIPS Code 08, and aviation equipment under NAVAIR. However, aviation equipment is included if it is an integrated part of the ship. The  equipment  under  the  DART  program  is restricted  to  the  fleet’s  most  serious  problems  to  help concentrate the management and resources at the places they  are  most  needed.  As  problem  equipment  is identified and remedial programs are developed and funded,  other  problem  equipment  is  nominated  for DART  management  in  a  continuing  process.  The  DART program does not supersede or cancel any existing instructions  or  procedures  that  provide  logistic  support to the fleet, or respond to fleet equipment and support problems. DART used existing reporting systems and data so the  program  could  get  started  immediately  and  avoid the need for a new data collection system. The principal data source is the opcrating forces. The data comes from CASREPs and the 3-M systems’ MDCS. DART PROCEDURES AND REPORT FORMATS The DART process passes through the following phases:  problem  identification,  verification  and approval,  scoping,  progressing,  and  evaluation.  We’ll explain each of them in the following paragraphs. 7-7
