1. The NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging (NEPP) Program C. Barnes, K. LaBel*, P. Zulueta, D. Lakins, C. Lee, A. Johnston, and L. Galbraith Quality Leadership Forum GSFC July 19, 2001

2. Knowledge Acquisition and Dissemination Through this effort the primary function will be to maintain and operate web-based system for information distribution and archival. Administering users, maintaining the website, and “Mapping” the contents of all the web sites where NEPP information currently resides. System Upgrade To provide users with a "central" archive with access to resources and information about NASA electronic parts, packaging and radiation activities with an emphasis on space applications. The key aspects of the planned upgrade include: Enhancements to the User Interface, Enhanced search capability, More external interfaces, Project support tools. • Conferences • To provide forums for the exchange of information related to new and advanced electronic parts and packaging technologies for space and aeronautic applications Identify and explore trends in electronic parts and packaging for space and aeronautic applications in specific key technology areas. Standards To maintain visibility in the working groups of the following organizations. The primary thrust for this activity is to attend at least six (6) conferences and meetings with the sole purpose of collecting standards information and identifying external activities where the NEPP can leverage.

10. Request an Account • User selects the ‘Request an Account’ button • User fills in the required information and submits the form • If the user is not affiliated with the NEPP Program then the NASA Sponsor information must be provided • An email is sent to and the request is routed to the appropriate NEPP Project Manager for approval

11. Upload a Publication • The Admin interface allows Admin Users to upload various types of files to the file system on the web server, so that those documents and images can be stored and retrieved by the Spectra system. • The application does not have on-line image or document (.doc, .pdf) editing tools.

12. Create A Task • Each Task is created by the Project Managers • Project Managers enter the Task Information • Area of Emphasis • Principle Investigator(s) PI User Information (Name and Contact information) • Task Name • Project Supported (EPAR, EPAC, ERC, IND) • Fiscal Year of Task Initiation • Task Description/Plan • Deliverables • Schedule • Funding Requirements (Display of this data restricted to the Project Manager) • Keywords (Free text list of keywords)
