ESH Committee Tom Lastoskie Chair Jack Galuardi Vice Chair
Overview 2Q2018 Presentation/Discussion Items of Discussion 1. 2017 Workshop Results (same as Jan 2018 mtg) 2. Additional Guidance from OSD (same as Jan 2018 mtg) 3. Implementation Plan 4. Additional Potential Actions Comments
1. 2017 Workshop Results Overwhelmingly, participants agreed that Environmental, Safety and Health (ESH) criteria should be enhanced or added 5
2. Additional Guidance from OSD A. OSD wants to keep the current Matrix Thread format as is B. That means that Threads/Sub- Threads to stay the same (no adding of Sub-Threads to the current structure) C. Criteria enhancements or new criteria can be added to the existing structure! 6
3. Implementation Plan A. Took the 2017 Workshop outputs for ESH from the 3 Teams, adjudicated those outputs and provided to the MRL WG ESH Committee B. ESH Committee had deadline of 16 Feb to provide comments C. Majority of the MRL WG ESH Committee voted to use the adjudicated language ( ESH Committee Language in Tab 2 of attached spreadsheet, ESH Committee Criteria Wording for MRL Matrix Apr2018.xlsx ) and incorporate the ESH Committee Language into the MRL Deskbook criteria matrix 7
4. Additional Potential Actions A. Update MRL Users Guide to reflect changes to criteria and incorporate the Industry Comments/Recommendations in Tab 2 of attached spreadsheet, ESH Committee Criteria Wording for MRL Matrix Apr2018.xlsx B. Incorporate new wording in the MRL Deskbook to address situations where Industry may look at some areas of ESH differently than DoD? 1. This is an additional activity which the MRL Working Group would need to decide if action is appropriate C. Define/Explain Special Handling with more definitive wording in the MRL Deskbook and User Guide 1. This is an additional activity which the MRL Working Group would need to decide if action is appropriate 8

MRL Working Group S&T Meeting PURPOSE Gather various stakeholders as part of the MRL Working Group continuous process improvement efforts to refine the MRL 1-3 criteria Determine their needs, expectations and what they need from the team Have S&T stakeholders become more active members of the MRL Working Group Explore MRL WG next steps towards refinement of MRL 1-3 BACKGROUND Development of the MRL criteria began in 2000 and has been continually refreshed by the MRL WG The goal of the MRL working group is to continue to refresh the MRL body of knowledge to reflect the best practices To assist in identification and mitigation of manufacturing, production, quality, and industrial risks and issues Annual workshops attended by government, industry, and academia to socialize recommended changes DISCUSSION SECDEF and DoD services and agencies are pursuing Enhanced Readiness, Reducing Acquisition Development Cycle Times, Moving Manufacturing to the Left Developmental Planning and Early Systems Engineering, Tech Transition to Avoid the Valley of Death The MRL working group began to refine the MRL 1-3 criteria and met with government and industry SMEs to refine in 2016/2017 At January MRL Working Group meeting a one day workshop was proposed WHO S&T, R&D, Acquisition, ManTech, Developmental Planning/Early SE, and manufacturing & quality operations SMEs WHAT Participate in a one day discussion to establish S&T community MRL needs/wants/etc. WHEN 25 July, after the 24 July MRL WG meeting, Vencore, 4100 North Fairfax Dr., Arlington, VA 22203, Suite 800
MRL Working Group S&T Meeting MRL Working Group S&T Meeting Key questions What is the best way to get stakeholders to provide needs, expectations? Workshop, survey, etc.? Does S&T community perceive MRL as value added? Do they use MRL? Is existing criteria acceptable? Why or why not? What is the focus? What is output from today? Rough agenda Who should attend?, Who will invite?, How to get them there? Who will coordinate all activities? Who is going to help? Chairperson? List of actions and OPRs Target 20 30 people (Vencore) Services, Industry, Academia, MRL WG
MRLs & Pre-Award Surveys Dave Karr
MRLs & Pre-Award Surveys Situation: Numerous competitive RFPs released with requirements for offerors to report the results of MRL self-assessments in their proposals Challenge: Source Selection evaluators must rely only upon the claims of the offerors regarding their MRL scores Solution: Engage DCMA to verify MRL self-assessments through Pre- Award Survey process Problem: PAS factors are not aligned to MRL threads/criteria 28
MRLs & Pre-Award Surveys Existing Pre-Award Survey checklists: General (SF1403) Technical (SF1404) Production (SF1405) Quality Assurance (SF1406) Financial Capability (SF1407) Accounting System (SF1408) DCMA s process seems very open to tailoring the survey to the needs of the customer How can we best request DCMA to verify MRL assessments? Tailor existing checklist? New checklist? MRL matrix? Would change by phase/target MRL 29
