  1. NASA Update JAPC Status Buck Crenshaw Manager NASA Quality Initiatives, JPL at KSC January 18, 2012 San Diego CA January 17-18, 2012

  2. Harrel “Buck” Crenshaw • 8/9 years with IAQG, AAQG, RMC, Space Forum and several working groups • Chair of the AAQG Space Forum • Voting member of AAQSC • Deputy Chairman of the JAPC • Part-time trainer for Honeywell and Plexus (AATT and others) • Co-chair of the Quality Leadership Forum (QLF) (March 21-22) • Emcee/host of the CQSDI (March 19-20)

  3. NASA use of ICOP scheme Background • Several NASA requirements documents have been published for the purpose of providing NASA Headquarters insight into NASA Field Centers, NASA Major Primes, and NASA’s Sub-Tier Suppliers. • The process for oversight in the Sub-Tier Supplier is additionally clarified in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that implements the NASA Joint Audit Planning Committee. This MOA establishes an integrated schedule and addresses team membership and methods of operation for the conduct of the audits of these Sub-Tier Suppliers. • NASA requirement documents encourages the use of the 3rd party scheme where appropriate.

  4. NASA use of ICOP scheme • Budget impact on NASA activities (Need to focus on ROI) • Impact on 2nd party audits (NASA & Primes) • More dependent than ever on the 3rd party scheme • JAPC to supplement Office visits for at risk CBs and Witness Audits of NASA Key Suppliers. • JAPC to conduct Supplemental Oversight where deemed appropriate • JAPC to continue with risk based 2nd party audits • Impacts of Commercial Space evolution (Space Act Agreements vs Contracts)

  5. NASA use of ICOP scheme • Significant issues as NASA initiates development of the Heavy Lift launcher. • Concerns at GAO on cost overruns and slipped delivery dates (MDA has an approach) • DCMA intends to get back involved with scheme (RMC, Space Forum) • Significant issues with transition schedule and impacts of extension? • Concerns about variability in 3rd audit conduct • Encourages use of OASIS as tool • Several JAPC auditors will be trained on Office, Witness and Supplemental Audits

  6. Joint Audit Planning Committee (JAPC) Specifics • Only one 2nd party audit conducted under JAPC this past year (Transition of supply base) • JAPC will work with RMC to schedule participation in Office and Witness Audits • As a consequence of a CB exceeding 5 triggers and being asked for a corrective action plan to the RMC the JAPC will conduct a supplemental oversight audit in conjunction with any JAPC 2nd party audit scheduled during the following year. • JAPC Planning Meeting next week in Bolder CO (Ball hosting)
