  23. STANDARDS UPDATE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (SUNS) “ALERT” • 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Can Have Major Impacts on the Safety, Performance, Reliability, and Cost of the Agency’s Programs/Projects; Using Out-of-Date Standards—Unless Consciously Done to Meet a Specific Requirement— • Ignoring Revisions to Standards Ignores New Processes and Technology; It Misses the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 • To Date: • 5082 Document Update Requests Received • 1420 Document Update Notifications Sent

  24. LESSONS LEARNED/BEST PRACTICES/APPLICATION NOTES – STANDARDS INTEGRATION SYSTEM • Standards are a Natural Focus for Lessons Learned • Standards are Tools Used by Engineers • 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 • The Enhanced Search Results Page Permits Users to View Specific Lessons Learned by Technical Discipline Categories • “Application Notes” (AN) Clarify or Limit the Scope, Use, or Context of a Given Technical Standard; 168 AN’s Linked to NASA Preferred and Non-Government Technical Standards

  39. ISSUES (Cont’d) • 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. • FY2000: 52.0K • FY2001: 59.0K • FY2002: 39.4K • FY2003: 35.0K

  40. ISSUES (Cont’d) • NTSP Travel Budget Requirements (Agencywide): • 131 Employees Participating on SDO Committees (2 trips/yr) = $288K • NTSWG Meetings (3 per year * 10 Members) = $33K • Support Discipline Working Groups Involved in the • Development of NASA Preferred Technical Standards = $50K • NASA Technical Standards Program Office = $30K • TOTAL = $401K • MSFC Travel Budget Requirements in Support of NTSPO: • 17 Employees Participating on SDO Committees (2 trips/yr) = $37.4K • NTSWG Meetings (3 per year * 1 Member) = $3.3K • Support Discipline Working Groups Involved in the • Development of NASA Preferred Technical Standards = $10.9K • NASA Technical Standards Program Office = $30K TOTAL = $81.6K Recommendation(s): (1) ED01 should address this Issue with MSFC CFO Office and make NTSPO/MSFC Standards related Budget Independent of ED Allocation. (2) MSFC Engineering Management Board Member Should Raise this Issue at the Next EMB Meeting and recommend that HQ provide Agency Level Travel Budget to NTSPO for support of the Program.
