Acquisition and Safety

• Cost, schedule, and performance are capstones of
  successful programs that are adept in balancing
  them
• The Acquisition Process acquires the materiel
  solution that will meet capability needs and
  perform according to their measurable, testable
  Key Performance Parameter requirements within
  allocated budget, schedule

• Milestone and internal reviews are established to
  demonstrate progress towards providing systems
  that satisfy the needed capabilities

Implication Where is my requirement is the
first and immediate response from programs when
asked to include anything in their systems if
it is not in a requirements document (or come
with funding), programs will have difficulty in
executing
8
Systems Engineering and Safety

• Systems engineering is a comprehensive, iterative
  technical management process that includes
  translating operational requirements into
  configured systems, integrating the technical
  inputs of the entire design team, managing
  interfaces, characterizing and managing technical
  risk, transitioning technology from the
  technology base into program specific efforts,
  and verifying that designs meet operational needs
  DSMC

• It is a life cycle activity that demands a
  concurrent approach to both product and process
  development DSMC
• Systems Engineering is an integral part of the
  Acquisition Process

Implication As part of JCIDS requirements
documents, safety will be part included in
operational requirements that are translated into
configured systems via the systems engineering
process It is important to assure that
well-articulated safety requirements are included
in JCIDS requirements documents
9
Acquisition and Systems Engineering in
Requirement Execution

• Acquisition Programs execute requirements using
  the rigor of acquisition and systems engineering
  reviews
• Formal Acquisition Milestone and Decision Reviews
  (Ship Initiation, A, B, )
• Best Practice Systems Engineering Technical
  Reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, )
• Leveraging these reviews is a potential means of
  getting visibility to the progress programs are
  making in implementing requirements
• Safety
• HSI
• Information Assurance
• other Technical Disciplines

• 112B Worth of Transactions Annually
• 1.1M Active, Reserve, Civilian Personnel
• 100,000 active suppliers
• 30,000 DOD customers
• 20 Maintenance Depots
• 26 Distribution Depots
• 14 Inventory Control Points
• 2 Strategic Distribution Centers
• 17 military sea/11 military aerial ports (CONUS)
• 27 military sea/32 military aerial ports (OCONUS)

Acquisition Policy Considerations

• As part of the National Defense Authorization Act
  for FY 2004, Congress amended the 1990 DAWIA
  legislation with new language, known as DAWIA II
  thus providing for
• Greater Management Flexibility
• Flexibility to establish different experience,
  educational, and tenure requirements for
  acquisition positions
• Establish a single acquisition corps
• Streamline obsolete and outdated DAWIA provisions

• Service Safety Chiefs Commitment to System Safety
  Revitalization

Donald Rumsfelds Challenge Memorandum from
Secretary of Defense dtd 19 May 2003 75
reduction in preventable mishaps
Requirements for Programmatic Environmental
Health and Safety Evaluation (PESHE)
Design-related mishaps should be considered
preventable!

DoDI 5000.2 Operation of the Defense Acquisition
System (May 12, 2003)

• Enclosure 7 Human Systems Integration
• Comprehensive plan
• DoD 5000 does NOT require/mandate an HSI plan
  as a program deliverable
• Check Service and SYSCOM/Material Command
  policy
• Summarized in Acq Strategy
• Human Factors
• Take steps Contract deliverables
• HFE/Cognitive Engineering employed over life of
  program
• Personnel
• Human performance characteristics of user
  population
• Should include ergonomics (word implicit but
  not used)

Summary

• DoD Acquisition Process is Complex
• Need to understand the basics to influence the
  outcome
• Acquisition is based on fleet input and
  requirements/ resources generated by Chief of
  Naval Operations
• Fleet input needed safety and health
  professionals can help educate the customers
• DoD Supply System/Process is Huge, Complex,
  Proven
• Joint Logistics saves time, money, and resources
• Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) provides support
  to all services
• Improving Safety in Design and Acquisition in
  Federal Agencies
• Need to provide feedback to the right/
  responsible authorities
• Focus on high risk process and organizations
• Need convincing educational materials and
  stakeholder support
• ATL Policy Directives support this effort
