Which responsibility is NOT associated with the MMCO/Production Control Officer?

The role of the MMCO (Maintenance Material Control Officer) or Production Control Officer primarily revolves around managing maintenance resources, planning, and overseeing various aspects of aircraft maintenance operations. Scheduling maintenance shifts is typically a responsibility that falls to individual work centers or their leadership rather than the MMCO/Production Control Officer.

The established tool control centers, the designation of a tool program coordinator, and the determination of necessary tools for tasks are all integral functions of the MMCO’s responsibilities, as they help ensure the proper management and accountability of tools and resources, thereby supporting efficient maintenance operations.

In contrast, scheduling maintenance shifts is usually handled at a more localized level within the organization, focusing specifically on day-to-day operational needs rather than the overarching management role of the MMCO. This distinction clarifies why the act of scheduling shifts is not associated with the responsibilities of the MMCO/Production Control Officer.
