CRITICAL PROCESS ASSESSMENT TOOL (CPAT)- RISK MANAGEMENT (14 AUG) 1998) (SMC/AXD) - MILITARY SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS REFORM PROGRAM (MSSRP)
CRITICAL PROCESS ASSESSMENT TOOL (CPAT)- RISK MANAGEMENT (14 AUG) 1998) (SMC/AXD) - MILITARY SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS REFORM PROGRAM (MSSRP). The Critical Process Assessment Tools (CPATs) support project officers and project engineers (1) in preparing Requests for Proposals (RFPs), (2) in preparing for the subsequent source selection (for competitive procurements) or Tech Eval and Fact finding (for non-competitive contract actions), and (3) in preparing to participate in or review contract execution after contract award. The CPATs are applicable to processes that are considered to be critical to the execution of the contract. This version of the CPAT, called the Risk Management CPAT, provides support for the risk management process. To use this CPAT, you should first review the separate CPAT Overview and Program Management CPAT, then this Risk Management CPAT. The Overview CPAT provides a description of the tool’s format, guidance on its usage, and an overview of the acquisition process, so it should be consulted by the first time reader. It does not provide any directly applicable critical process information. The Program Management, Systems Engineering, and Risk Management CPATs contain specific process information that provides top down direction to the other CPATs. These are the functions that are common to and inherent in the execution of any process.

SMC INTEGRATED BASELINE REVIEW (IBR) TEAM HANDBOOK, Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) (1 MAY 1998)
SMC INTEGRATED BASELINE REVIEW (IBR) TEAM HANDBOOK, Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) (1 MAY 1998)., Prepared by SMC/FMC 2430 E. El Segundo Blvd., Suite 2010 Los Angeles, CA 90245-4687. This handbook provides the Program Manager and all team members with a basis for understanding the IBR process. It is a guide for conducting an IBR and documenting the results. The following sections provide an IBR overview for program managers, pre-contract award activities prior to the start of an IBR, review responsibilities and selection criteria for team membership, planning for the IBR, training prior to the IBR, guidelines for conducting an IBR, and background information the team should review concerning the contract to be reviewed. The intent is not to establish a rigorous process for conducting IBRs but rather to provide the PM with sufficient information so that the IBR may be tailored to be most effective with the least impact to time and resources. Please provide any suggestions or comments for improving this handbook to SMC/FMC, 2430 E. El Segundo Blvd, Suite 2010, El Segundo, CA 90245-4687

SPACE AND MISSILES CENTER (SMC) USAF Systems Engineering Primer and Handbook: Concepts, Processes, and Techniques (3RD ED)
SPACE AND MISSILES CENTER (SMC) USAF Systems Engineering Primer and Handbook: Concepts, Processes, and Techniques (3RD EDITION). This Systems Engineering handbook is written to provide SMC personnel with fundamental systems engineering concepts and techniques as they apply to space, launch, and ground control systems and the SMC environment. The intended audience includes the project officer, junior systems engineer, an engineer in another discipline that must perform Systems Engineering functions, or the experienced engineer who needs a suitable reference. The authors recognize that systems engineering subject matter is very broad and that approaches to performing systems engineering vary greatly. This exposition is not intended to cover them all. It addresses general concepts and common processes, tools, and techniques that are mostly familiar to SMC. It also provides information on recommended systems engineering practices and pitfalls to avoid. Many references are provided for the reader to consult for more in-depth knowledge. This handbook describes systems engineering as it could be applied to the development of major space, launch, and ground control systems. Systems engineering provides a disciplined approach that covers the entire lifecycle of a system to include development, design, manufacture, and operation. Consequently, the handbook’s scope properly includes systems engineering functions regardless of whether they are performed by the AFSPC operational user, SMC system program office (Program Office), or a systems contractor.
