HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah --  The 367th Training Support Squadron, "The Griffin", released Maintenance Operations Management, an interactive multimedia instruction course for maintenance managers.

With more than 8,000 hours of production, contributions from 12 subject matter experts from multiple major commands, and a great amount of ingenuity, Maintenance Operations Management is now available.

This course is designed to teach management principles associated with maintenance career fields.

Not only can technical sergeants selects gain from the information delivered in the course, but junior officers, civilian managers, and Airmen of any rank can also benefit.

The course is organized into eight lessons: Maintenance Management Roles and Responsibilities, Safety Management, Supply Management, Status Reporting, Plans Scheduling and
Documentation, Maintenance Metrics, Aircraft/Equipment Maintenance Management, and Emergency Management. Each lesson covers a variety of topics organized into sub lessons that help to convey the information in a more straightforward way. To keep the information interesting; videos, graphics, and pictures are used in conjunction with written information.

"This course is a great first step for someone who wants or needs to know more about aircraft maintenance management. I encourage not only 2A technical sergeants to take the course but also young officers new to aircraft maintenance or operations," said Maj. Michael R. Bliss, The Griffin commander. "The more you understand the better leader you are. This is not an easy course, on average it takes five hours to complete. I encourage you to login and see what you can learn....you might be surprised."

Maintenance Operations Management can be viewed on the ADLS Gateway. Once Airmen login to ADLS, they need to click the ADLS Gateway link on the home page, click on A4MXTNG (the Maintenance badge), and find the course.
