POLICY: • Agencies are directed to use Voluntary Consensus Standards (Non-Gov’t), both

domestic and international, in preference to Government standards except where inconsistent with law or otherwise impractical.

• Support VCS Bodies and encourage employees to participate in domestic and international VCS Bodies as Agency representatives in areas of the Agency’s mission and responsibility.

• Annual Agency Report required to OMB in Compliance with the Public Law 104-113.

SUMMARY OF NASA FY2002 OMB CIRCULAR A-119 REPORT:

• On-Line Report Submitted January 7, 2003 to NIST

• NASA Had 131 Employee Participants in 36 Non-Government Standards Bodies

• 2% Decrease in Number of Participants Overall From Last Year With a Total Turnover of Participants of 32%

• There Were 86 New VCS’s Reported for Use in FY 2002

NASA INTEGRATED TECHNICAL STANDARDS INITIATIVE

5/7/2003 19


AGENCYWIDE FULL-TEXT TECHNICAL STANDARDS SYSTEM

Composed of Standards From More Than 108 Standards Developing

Organizations; Includes NASA “Preferred” Technical Standards:

• Non-NASA Standards (Other-Government, Non-Government) Adopted

by the Agency

• Technical Standards Developed by NASA

• Center-Developed Standards (JSC, KSC, MSFC, etc.)

• Shuttle, Program Automated Library System (PALS), Payload

Integration Library System (PILS),…etc.

Single Interface (“One Stop”) - Transparent to Users

Sophisticated, but User Friendly Search Capability

Extensive Metrics: Accesses, Downloads, Documents, Requestors, etc.

Access to Related Technical Information (I.e. Material and Metal Infobase,

SPECSINTACT, Logistic Parts Database, etc.)

Changes to Technical Standards Can Have Major Impacts on the Safety, Performance, Reliability, and Cost of the Agency’s Programs/Projects; Using Out-of-Date Standards—Unless Consciously Done to Meet a Specific Requirement—

– Ignoring Revisions to Standards Ignores New Processes and Technology; It Misses the Benefits of Recent Experiences

– Exposes Programs/Projects to the Risk of Repeating Those Failures That Led to Update of the Standard

– SUNS Allows Users to Register Interests, Receive Automatic Notification of Standards Being Revised, Re-issued

– 5082 Document Update Requests Received

– 1420 Document Update Notifications Sent

– Integrating Lessons Learned With Standards Provides Basis for Interpretation/Use and Update of Standards

– Aerospace Engineering Lessons Learned Data Sources Identified Which Link to Over 1,700 Lessons Learned Listings

Current Status– 424 Lessons Learned Linked to 239 NASA Preferred and Non-

Government Technical Standards

CHALLENGES

Formulation of Discipline Working Groups– Accelerate Conversion of Center Standards Into Common NASA Preferred

Standards

– Formation and Active Support of Discipline Working Groups for Major Engineering Areas

• To Support Common Standards/practice Development

• To Guide Integration of Lessons Learned Into Standards

• To Increase Engineering Knowledge Base

Measure Effectiveness of The Program

– Earned Value Management

– Return-on-Investment, etc.

– Establish Performance Metrics, Not Just Activity Metrics

5/7/2003 39


Need Engineering Working Group at MSFC, Chaired by

the NTSWG Member To:

– Actively Support Discipline Working Groups for Major Engineering Areas To:

• Support Common Standards/Practice Development

• Guide Integration of Lessons Learned Into Standards

• Increase Engineering Knowledge Base

ISSUES

Most Other Centers Have Similar Working Groups in Place to Support these Types of Activities

5/7/2003 40


Need For Support of Technical Standards Program travel Budget

• For participation In Standards Developing Committee Meetings Within & External to Agency

• NTSWG Meetings On Standards Program Activities and Actions

• Program Awareness Activities & Presentations and meeting with Standards Developing Organizations

• All Program travel Significant to Enhancing MSFC’s and Agency’s Engineering Capabilities In Accordance with NASA’s Strategic Plan.
