13.3.2.1-1 Modularization

Units of equipment should be divided into as many modules as are practical and feasible to support personnel performance during maintenance.

Additional Information:
Dividing a unit of equipment into a number of separate modules has several advantages, including making it easier to (1) locate and isolate malfunctions, (2) reach, remove, and maintain components, (3) handle the equipment for installation and repair, and (4) allocate maintenance functions and responsibilities between personnel with different skills.
