Who is responsible for ensuring that the PMS Weekly schedule is adhered to?

The Division Officer is responsible for ensuring that the Planned Maintenance System (PMS) weekly schedule is adhered to because they oversee the operations and maintenance of their specific division. This role typically involves coordinating and managing the maintenance tasks assigned to sailors within the division, ensuring that all maintenance is performed as per the schedule to maintain operational readiness.

The Division Officer is involved in the day-to-day management of maintenance activities, holds accountability for the division's performance, and provides guidance and support to ensure that tasks are completed efficiently and effectively. This direct oversight is essential for keeping the ship's systems in optimal working condition.

While other roles, such as the Chief Engineer or Maintenance Officer, have important responsibilities in the overall maintenance and engineering management aboard a vessel, the Division Officer's focus is specifically on the execution of the weekly maintenance schedule within their division. The Commanding Officer, though ultimately responsible for the entire ship, delegates this authority to ensure that the details of scheduled maintenance are executed consistently and reliably.
