Abstract:
Mission success depends on proper integration of
safety, risk management, and assurance processes throughout the
project life-cycle. In the current government acquisition
environment great emphasis is being placed on innovative contracting
approaches that involve cooperative agreements, performance-based
contracting, and contractor use of best practices. Thus, far fewer
prescribed standards and specifications are involved in government
acquisition today as compared to the early 1990s. Additionally, the
shift from rule-based assurance management to knowledge-based
approaches poses a separate set of challenges as clearly underscored
in government and industry accident assessments and mishap
investigations that followed a costly streak of launch vehicle and
spacecraft failures in the late 1990 time frame. In response to
these challenges the NASA Office of Safety & Mission Assurance
began development of the Process Based Mission Assurance Knowledge
Management System (PBMA-KMS) in mid 1999. The PBMA-KMS is a
user-friendly, web-based system designed to support life-cycle
safety and mission success management. This paper describes the
PBMA-KMS functionality, operation, and plans for future growth.
Aerospace professionals are encouraged to use the PBMA-KMS by
participating in discipline oriented work groups, and contributing
best practices, lessons learned, and ideas for future functional
enhancements
