Tinker Air Force Base
RCM Team

Tinker AFB is home to the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC) and several major associate units. The base comprises 5001 acres and the installation has 770 buildings with a building floor space of over 15.2 million square feet. The OC-ALC encompasses 138 acres of indoor maintenance facilities and 93 acres of covered warehouse space. Historic Building 3001, headquarters of the OC-ALC, covers 62 acres and stretches for seven-tenths of a mile. The base is comparable to a city with a population of 30,000 which includes Air Force, Navy and Army active duty personnel, civilian employees and military retirees. Tinker is the largest single-site employer in the state of Oklahoma.

Tinker has about 15,000 pieces of equipment maintained by the Industrial Service Wing. Our PdM programs provide award winning, world class equipment support utilizing predictive, proactive, and precision maintenance actions through reliability centered maintenance concepts and practices.

The Tinker Air Force Base’s Reliability Centered Maintenance Team ensures the health of a vast array of complex equipment throughout the nearly mile-long depot building and across the base.

Program Highlights:

The Tinker Air Force Base’s Reliability Centered Maintenance Team has obviously put a great deal of time, money and effort into the alignment and balancing programs and it is benefiting the entire maintenance program. The case study of the difficult vertical alignments grabbed all of our attention and points to the value of such a program - caused us to focus our acknowledgement on that element of the PdM program to award the Uptime Magazine Precision Maintenance Program of the Year Award.
