What happens if a work center omits 10 percent or more of its required maintenance?

If a work center omits 10 percent or more of its required maintenance, the consequence outlined in the guidelines of OPNAVINST 4790.1J is a reduction in the Maintenance Action Report (MAR) by 50 percent. This reflects a tangible accountability measure for failing to meet the required maintenance standards. The 50 percent reduction serves as a significant penalty that underscores the importance of adhering to maintenance schedules and ensuring that all maintenance tasks are performed as required. This rule is in place to promote a culture of responsibility and to encourage work centers to prioritize maintenance activities, ultimately supporting operational readiness and material condition of the fleet.

The other choices, such as rewards or commendations, do not align with the reality of the consequences of failing to meet maintenance expectations, as performance in this context is taken very seriously within naval operations.
