This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This version of the Safety Risk Management Guidance for System Acquisitions (SRMGSA) cancels SRMGSA Version 2.0. It applies to acquisitions that have a potential effect on safety risk in the National Airspace System (NAS) when the acquired systems are operationally fielded. The SRMGSA includes information pertaining to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) changes, Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Portfolio Management, and Integrated Safety Management. The body of the document contains only high-level policy and guidance concerning Safety Risk Management (SRM) in acquisitions. The SRMGSA defines the scope, purpose, objectives, and required activities of the FAA's systems safety effort as it applies to SRM for all system acquisitions that provide Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS), Air Traffic Management (ATM), and other services in the NAS.The SRMGSA applies to all personnel in the ATO performing safety risk assessments on system acquisitions and is of interest to those performing a similar role for the Assistant Administrator of the Office of NextGen (ANG), the Office of Airports (ARP), or other FAA Lines of Business (LOBs). The SRMGSA embodies and contributes to the spirit of the FAA's safety culture. A positive safety culture places a pervasive emphasis on safety and promotes: an inherently questioning attitude, a resistance to complacency, a commitment to excellence, the involvement and accountability of management, and the fostering of personal accountability and corporate self-regulation in safety matters.

Download or read book Risk Management Guide for DOD Acquisition Sixth Edition Version 1 0 written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this guide is to assist DoD and contractor Program Managers (PMs), program offices and Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) in effectively managing program risks during the entire acquisition process, including sustainment. This guide contains baseline information and explanations for a well-structured risk management program. The management concepts and ideas presented here encourage the use of risk-based management practices and suggest a process to address program risks without prescribing specific methods or tools. Since this is a guide, the information presented within is not mandatory to follow, but PMs are encouraged to apply the fundamentals presented here. The guide should be used in conjunction with related directives, instructions, policy memoranda, or regulations issued to implement mandatory requirements. This guide has been structured to provide a basic understanding of risk management concepts and processes. It offers clear descriptions and concise explanations of core steps to assist in managing risks in acquisition programs. Its focuses on risk mitigation planning and implementation rather on risk avoidance, transfer, or assumption. There are several notable changes of emphasis in this guide from previous versions. These changes reflect lessons learned from application of risk management in DoD programs. management references can be found on the Defense Acquisition University Community of Practice website. This guide is supplemented by Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Risk Management Continuous Learning Module (key words: risk management and course number CLM017). The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) office of primary responsibility (OPR) for this guide is OUSD(AT&L) Systems and Software Engineering, Enterprise Development (OUSD(AT&L) SSE/ED). This office will develop and coordinate updates to the guide as required, based on policy changes and customer feedback.

Download or read book Addressing Risk Management in Non Developmental Items Acquisition Programs written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nondevelopmental Items (NDI) acquisition programs are enjoying popular support as faster, cheaper alternatives to new start research and development programs. Unfortunately, DoD policy on risk management in NDI programs is lacking. In the new, less-restrictive DoD Directive 5000.1 Acquisition Policy and DoD Regulation 5000.2-R, the program manager (PM) is expected to tailor risk management practices to the needs of the program. Tailoring DoD risk management policy to support NDI program management leaves the PM too much guesswork. An NDI PM's risk management program cannot reasonably benefit from DoD risk management guidance, procedures, and tools because he or she is focused on new development program risks and risk management practices. Missing is any explicit consideration of unique NDI risks and risk management requirements. NDI PMs need more structured policy and instruction regarding NDI risk management for the streamlined, accelerated NDI acquisition environment. A lesson that we have learned is that we need a published risk management plan as the source of NDI risk management program decisions and actions. This article makes specific recommendations for including NDI risk management in DoD policy. An NDI is a previously developed federal, state, local, or foreign government item with little or no development effort required (5000.2-R, Part 3). NDI acquisition strategies look to governments or commercial vendors as sources for a developed and available item. DoDD 5000.1 encourages the armed services to use the most cost-effective materiel solution over a system's life cycle. The first choice among materiel alternatives after buying commercial off-the-shelf items is to procure or modify previously developed U.S. military or Allied systems or equipment.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-developmental Items (NDI) acquisition programs are enjoying popular support as faster, cheaper alternatives to full-scale development programs. Unfortunately, DOD policy with respect to risk management in NDI programs is lacking. Tailoring DOD risk management policy to support NDI program management leaves the program manager (PM) much guess-work. A NDI PM's risk management program cannot reasonably benefit from DOD risk management guidance, procedures, and risk management tools because they are oriented to developmental program risks and risk management practices. Missing is any explicit consideration of the unique risks and risk management requirements in NDI programs. NDI PMs need more explicit guidance in policy and instruction regarding NDI risk management in the streamlined, accelerated NDI environment. This need is brought out in a case study of the Forward Area Air Defense Sensors Product Office which attempts to implement sound risk management into its NDI products without the benefit of definitive NDI risk identification, assessment, or response policy material. A lesson learned is the need for a published Risk Management Plan as the source of NDI risk management program decisions and actions. Specific recommendations are contained for inclusion in DOD policy with respect to NDI risk management.

Book excerpt: The defense acquisition system may be improved through tough, sometimes controversial, decision making based on risk. Three areas of risk management will be examined in the form of good projections of technology maturation, achievable requirements, and producibility. Technology maturation risk will examine the technologies being pursued by major defense acquisition programs and whether the available technologies were underdeveloped at Milestone B based on technology readiness levels (TRL). The requirements investigation will examine how well the program was able to define requirements, map requirements against achievable near term technology, and keep requirements from expanding beyond the core set needed for the mission (what many refer to as "mission creep"). Producibility risk, defined as the ability to produce end items within the projected cost and schedule, will be examined in terms of overall program cost and schedule growth or program restructurings. Some major defense acquisition programs as case examples will be examined to determine influencing factors that affect program acquisition that are beyond the ability of the program office to control. Recommendations are included for areas of further study.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.
Download or read book Software Technology Readiness Assessments Managing Technology Risks in Space System Acquisitions written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) is an important factor in the milestone decisions of the defense acquisition system. The Department of Defense (DOD) offers substantial direction on assessing hardware technologies in its TRA Deskbook. However, with respect to software, particularly software used in space systems, the guidance has proven to be weak and ambiguous. The objective of this report is to offer tangible guidance on establishing Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) for space software and provide further insights into all dimensions of technology risk mitigation. To illustrate key points, a comparison of technology risk management within conunercial, market-driven companies versus currently codified risk management methods of the defense acquisition community is provided.
