Risk Management
• Planning– Customer requirements– Identifying key processes
• Assessing– Consequence– Probability
• Handling– Mitigate / Manage Risk– Methods / Tools
• Monitoring– Evaluating Supplier Performance– Adjusting Surveillance
• Documenting
5
• Effective Risk Management ensures program success:
– Provides real-time supplier information in risk-based terms.
– Provides visibility on where to focus attention.– Permits partnering with ALL stakeholders.

QA Training Requirements
Mandatory Training and Certifications are required for Quality Assurance positions– Four (4) types of Quality Assurance Training
Certification are required:
• Defense Acquisition Workforce
Improvement Act (DAWIA)
• Core Courses
• Commodity
• Specialty
9
Training Certification Types
• Commodity Certification – 15 commodity types– Based on the Specialists assigned facility type code– End Item Risk dictates Training or OJT Need
• Specialized Certification – Specialized Certification is to support Customer
mandated requests and requirements – Customer / Request Types:
• HAZMAT• NASA• NDT• Navy Special Emphasis

QA Workforce
DCMA QA personnel severely reduced - Down 66% (9,000 to 3,060*) since 1991 - Similar for the Services and DLA
Fewer DoD QA resources results in - more reliance on contractors - less product inspection- lower cost (at least initially)- higher risk (focusing on likelihood vs. consequence)
* As of Mar 02
11
QA Business Case Study
• Study mandated by Undersecretary of AT&L to determine cost of outsourcing Government QA functions.
• Studied non-resident quality assurance functions performed in comparison to industry costs and capabilities.
• Study showed DCMA less expensive than contractors who provide comparable services to Civilian Agencies.
• Surveyed customers about turning back technical functions to them.
• Customer satisfied with in-plant technical support and prefer that the responsibility for it remain in DCMA.
12
Flight Critical QA Support
• Provide intensive surveillance / continuing product audits of identified critical characteristics– Customer identified through contracts, drawings, letters
of instruction or any other means – Independently performed or conducted by witnessing
contractor product inspection/test/installation operations• Specialist determines items may be flight critical and the
customer has not identified any critical characteristics - initiate contact with the customer to request guidance
13
Flight Critical QA Methods
• Risk Management Techniques Drive drive Risk Handling Activities– High Risk Processes
• Process Proofing (Evaluation)• Product Audits• Data Analysis
– Moderate Risk Processes• Product Audits• Data Analysis
– Low Risk Processes• Data Analysis
Products Audits accomplished regardless of assessed risk and in addition to process proofing (evaluation) and data analysis dependent on risk
14
DCMA and JACG
• Joint Aeronautical Commanders Group Management of Aviation Critical Safety Items– Disciplined Approach to Managing CSI– Guidance for Activities Associated with CSI
– DCMA QA Activities Include• Provide Assistance to Service ESA regarding “Value-Added” QA
requirements
– Assure that Technical Requirements Include Critical Characteristics
• Verify Compliance of Critical Characteristics
• Disposition Nonconforming Items
• Provide GSI for all CSI as appropriate
15
DCMA and NASA
New Initiatives• April 2002 - National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) submitted a request to DCMA to view the Risk Assessment Management Plans (RAMP) from all delegated prime and sub-tier Goddard Space Flight Centers.
• April 2002 - DCMA conducted a data call.• May 2002 – A total of 69 Risk Plans were
forwarded to NASA for their review.
16
DCMA and NATO
• DCMA Represents U.S. at NATO AC/250, NATO Group of National Directors for Quality Assurance, Subgroup B, QA Implementation and Operations
• DCMA Chairs the S/G B Ad Hoc Working Party on Mutual GQA Improvement
• DCMA CMOs Currently Reviewing the New AQAP-2000 Series Documents (Contractual QA Standards)
17
National Aerospace and Defense Contractor Accreditation Program (NADCAP) Pilot Study
New Initiatives
• Purpose: To test the feasibility and effectiveness of relying on NADCAP Data to eliminate redundant surveillance to the maximum extent possible.
• DCMA Test Sites:– DCMAE - Baltimore, Syracuse, and Detroit
– DCMAW - Chicago, and Van Nuys
• Test Areas: Welding, Heat Treating, NDT
18
• Continue the present level of NADCAP membership and provide training to the remaining CMOs for DCMA wide implementation.
• Continue the NADCAP test through FY03 to focus on the second objective (using analysis of most common problems).
• Continue efforts to engage NASA in tests using NADCAP audits.
NADCAP Next Steps
19
Linking EV to TPMs
• Traceability – Requirements to WBS to TPMs to EV control accounts.
• Impact - How much WBS work, & therefore EV money, is covered/accounted for by the TPM(s)?
• TPM Banding/Sensitivity – What banding (R/Y/G) and sensitivity (EV impact) should be used for each TPM?
Bonus Key:• Technical Readiness Level – What’s the state of the
technology supporting the requirement(s) for which TPM is a metric?

TPM – Next Steps
• Working with Northrop Grumman to do a proof-of-concept on a well structured program
• Reaching out to Program Management Offices, other suppliers/organizations, selected CMOs

Summary
Provide Customer-Focused Contract Management Services– Right Item = Quality– Right Time = On-Time Delivery– Right Price = Value for Money
QA Approach Adapting – Reduced QA resources
– Risk Management Maturing
– Enhanced Analytical Techniques Needed
DCMA is Focused on Customer Needs!
