  1. Standardization Support to Industry Harry Mclernon Standardization Development & Business Management Standardization Development & Business Management Branch

  2. Background • Helpdesk • Standards Verification

  3. UK Military Standardization started under King Charles 1st in June 1631 Orders in Regards to Patterns of Arms and Armour “continual altering and changing of fashion of armies armour ..doe put many of our subjects to a great and unnecessary charge…herafter there shall be but one uniform of fashion of armours…the pattern wherof…shall remain in the office of our ordinance…likewise concerning gunnes, pikes and bandaliers…”

  4. UK DEFENCE STANDARDIZATION To establish and maintain a centre of excellence for standardization management in the defence acquisition and support environment

  5. UK DEFENCE STANDARDIZATION Materiel Standardization Operational Standardization

  6. Standardization Levels COMPATIBILITY Systems do not interfere with one another INTERCHANGEABILITYExchange of items without modification COMMONALITY Same doctrine, procedures and equipment

  7. Standardization Levels INTEROPERABILITY

  8. Achieving Interoperability through Standardization Excellence A330 MRTT with two Eurofighter Typhoon

  9. Why Standardization? Promote Interoperability Reduce the Likelihood of Dependence on Specific Vendors Promote Innovation Achieve Value for Money

  10. Standardization Bodies Defence Reliance Activity Programme Military NATO(North Atlantic Treaty Organization) PfP(Partnership for Peace) ABCA(American, Britain, Canadian & Australian) OCCAR (Organization for Collaboration and Co-operation in ARmaments) Civil CEN(European Regional) ISO(International) IEC(International) BSI(National)

  11. Defence Standards Portfolio • Total No of Defence Standards 1831 • Extant 1400 • Obsolescent 424 • Sponsorship Programme • 8 Standardization Programme Managers • 4 Year Review Period

  16. Standardization Maturity Model

  17. Benefits of Using Stdz Management • Reduces the burden on the MOD by only prescribing essential standards at early phases • Allows for the empowerment of contractors to select product standards and specifications • Ensures that standards chosen are directly linked to the URD/SRD – No Requirement – No standard • Considers more complex project issues of Interfaces, Platform integration

  18. Benefits of Using Standardization Management • Ensures Interoperability and interdependency issues have been considered for the project and shared with the stakeholders • Considers the projects Integration and responsibilies in the wider MOD environment • Maximises Procurement Options • Widens the Market • Allows Trade-Offs to be Assessed in Terms of Whole Life Costs

  19. Helpdesk The DStan Helpdesk

  20. Helpdesk • Standards Verification Service • Identification of Publication Sources • Provision of Defence Standards • Advice on Standardization Project Review and Assurance • Advice on Standardization Management • Advice on Standards Availability, Status, Development Selection and Application • Advice on Standards Support for Technology Exploitation

  21. Helpdesk Multi-Layered Approach • Helpdesk Advisors In-House Operators Dealing with Document Requests and Answering Straightforward Questions • Standardization Desk Officers In-House Desk Officers Providing Detailed Technical Guidance Relating to Standards and Technology Areas • Sponsors & Subject Matter Experts Associates who provide advice on Standards, their content and application

  22. Standards Verification Service Standards Verification

  23. Standards Verification Service Background • 2003 – Study into the use of Defence Standards in MOD Contracts: • Approx 100 Contracts over £10M let each year • 56% of contracts incorrectly referenced Defence Standards • Actions to Address Problem: DStan Link onto DOORS & RCA Workbench etc.

  24. Standards Verification Service Types of Errors • Wrong or No Issue/Edition called up • Cancelled Standards Referenced • Obsolescent Standards Referenced • Wrong or No Part called up • Amendment Version not called up

  25. Standards Verification Service Background • 2005 – Repeated Standards in Contracts Study for FY 03/04: • 101 contracts over £10M let • 73% of contracts incorrectly referenced Defence Standards

  26. Standards Verification Service • August 2005 - New Service Introduced, Mandatory for all MOD Contracts over £10M • August 2006 - Now Mandatory for all MOD Contracts over £5M • To Confirm Currency and Validity of Standards • Standards Verification Not Selection • Verification Response Target – 7 Working Days • 100 Contracts Verified During 2008

  27. Standards Verification Service AECMA Association Europeene des Constructeurs de Materiel Aerospatial AP Allied Publication BS, BS EN, BS ISO British Standards BR Book of Reference COSHH Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Def Stan Defence Standard DGS Director General Ship EASA European Aviation Safety Agency ETSI European Telecommunications Standards Institute EUROCAE European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment ICAO International Civil Aviation Organisation IEC/PAS International Electrotechnical Commission – Publicly Available Specification IEC TS International Electrotechnical Commission – Technical Specification ISO International Organisation for Standardization JAR Joint Aviation Requirement JSP Joint Service Publication MIL SPEC MIL STD United States Military Specifications and Standards NES Naval Engineering Standard OSGB Ordnance Survey of Great Britain Other Health and Safety Standards SSP Sea Systems Publication STANAG NATO Standardization Agreement

  28. Standards Verification Service Benefits One email to the DStan helpdesk will: • Minimise Potential Contractual and Legal Problems • Reduce Delays and Extra Costs • Improve Professionalism and Reputation It’s easier to change a contract before it is let!

  29. Standards Verification Service Future • Reduce Mandatory Limit Below £5M? • Improve Service to Identify and Advise on which Standards could be Included in the Contract • Currently Working with DES Commercial to improve accuracy of Standards called up in MOD Contracts • Looking to Develop a Self Assessment Tool for Lower Value Contracts

  30. Standards Verification Service Self Service - DStan Website • Information on Standards Selection – Including Abstracts • Current Status of all Defence Standards and any Proposed Cancellations (SID News) • Links to other Standardization Information Sources
