Norfolk Shipyard at Night

Founded in October 2016, MtPiAZ provides technical documentation and quality system support for U.S. Navy ship repair operations. Our most utilized offering is the development of Process Control Procedures (PCP) in full compliance with NAVSEA Standard Item 009-009, including the incorporation of all applicable references necessary to properly execute the specified work.

By combining technical precision, hands-on field experience, and a strong understanding of Regional Maintenance Center (RMC) expectations, MtPiAZ consistently produces procedures that are clear, compliant, and executable in the field. This approach is designed to improve first-submittal approval rates and reduce review cycles – helping our customers maintain schedule and production efficiency.

Our team brings decades of combined experience supporting contractors, shipyards, and Regional Maintenance Centers (RMCs). This experience provides a practical understanding of Navy requirements—not only how they are written, but how they are interpreted, reviewed, and approved in practice. As an example, our PCP templates cover:

  • System flushing procedures
  • Diesel engine overhaul procedures
  • Borescope inspection procedures
  • Welding procedure documentation
  • Overhaul of Ship’s Service Diesel Engine
  • Inspections of Diesel Engines
  • Replacement of components for Combing Gears (CG) and Main Reduction Gears (MRG)

Additionally, we support the ship repair industry through the development of Quality Management System (QMS) documentation aligned with both International Organization for Standardization ISO 9001 requirements and NAVSEA Standard Item 009-004, ensuring full compliance while enabling effective, audit-ready implementation. As an example, our QMS documents cover:

  • QMS manual initial issue and revision of current manual
  • Standardized, controlled forms with unique numbering, ensuring version control and allowing personnel to quickly verify they are using the most current revision
  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
  • Safety Manual
  • Consulting services for upcoming audits
  • Consulting services for the development and resolution of Corrective Action Requests (CARs) and Inspection Deficiency Reports (IDRs), including root cause analysis and implementation of effective corrective actions
