  • Submitted by: David M. Lengyel

Subject:

Space Shuttle Program/SFOC Contract/Logistics Functions Transition

Description of Driving Event:

Transition to USA Management of Logistics Functions Under Phase 1 of the SFOC Contract

Lesson(s) Learned:

Transition of logistics functions under Phase 1 of the Space Flight Operations Contract (SFOC) appears to be taking place smoothly. Key personnel are maintaining continuity in management techniques and processes.

Recommendation(s):

Continue adherence to established systems, and make maximum use of the inherent capability of the incumbent personnel in the logistics systems.

Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness:

NASA concurs. The established NASA Logistics Operations continues to monitor the established logistics systems and enhance others in order to maintain insight into the logistics activity. Both the SFOC contractor and NASA Logistics Organization have retained incumbent key personnel with critical logistics skills to minimize the transitional risks and continue to support the SSP. Currently, the SFOC contractor is studying the horizontal consolidation of like functions and processes. NASA Logistics Operations will monitor the contractor's progress to assure that the logistics systems resulting from this consolidation will be capable, effective, efficient, and, above all, not adversely impacting the safety of operations.
