DMLSS work orders, such as the Medical/Dental Maintenance Work Order (NAVMED 6700/4 illustrated in Figures 5-10), are used to estimate workload and prioritize tasks in the medical field.
The NAVMED 6700/4’s upper section will be completed by BMETs receiving equipment that isn’t working correctly. A working piece of equipment may be assigned on a loan basis until the equipment repairs are finished, depending on the workload of BIOMED departmental staff and the availability of loaner equipment.
What does it mean to have excess equipment in the Navy
Excess equipment is a valuable resource since it may be used by other organizations.
Through redistribution of surplus equipment, the receiving location can affordably receive equipment for as little as the cost of packaging, crating, and handling (if any).
It is necessary to request excess equipment to be dispersed within the command to other departments via a memorandum of transfer. A change in custodian will be reflected in property records.
