Who is responsible for the operation of the 3M system within a work center?

The operation of the 3M (Maintenance and Material Management) system within a work center is fundamentally the responsibility of the Work Center Supervisor. This individual plays a critical role in ensuring that all maintenance activities, material management, and related tasks are executed effectively and efficiently within their designated area.

The Work Center Supervisor oversees the implementation of the 3M program, which includes scheduling maintenance, ensuring proper documentation and accountability of maintenance actions, and managing personnel involved in those tasks. This supervisory role is essential for maintaining operational readiness and compliance with the Navy's maintenance policy.

While the 3M Coordinator supports the endeavor by providing guidance and facilitating the process across various work centers, the ultimate accountability for the proper functioning of the system at a local level rests with the Work Center Supervisor. In contrast, the other roles listed, such as DAPA (Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor) and Command Career Counselor, focus on entirely different aspects of personnel welfare and career development, thus not directly impacting the operation of the 3M system.
