Purpose

The purpose of the Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) is to assist commanders at all levels in managing equipment use and operations, equipment maintenance, and repair operations and to maintain equipment to the Army standard as outlined in Army Regulation (AR) 750-1. It also provides the foundation for materiel condition status reporting (MCSR) as outlined in AR 700-138 and controlling equipment as outlined in AR 600-55.

a. TAMMS is a comprehensive management information system, consisting of automated information components and records, manually maintained components and records, and a central Army database at Logistics Support Activity (LOGSA). This central database is the Maintenance Module of the Logistics Integrated Database and is used by all Army commands.

b. TAMMS uses a set of time-proven maintenance processes, engineering practices, and industry standards. The TAMMS processes and maintenance records enable commanders to manage equipment readiness, availability, and durability, based on the level of resources provided by higher command. Resources include the application of time, trained personnel, tools, test equipment, and funds.
