Learning from close calls:

1. In 1998, the Facilities Engineering Division (HQ/JX) and the Facility Board of Directors at Headquarters proposed that a Council be formed to nurture and foster identification and appropriate use of new innovations and practices.

2. The Council will be instrumental in improving NASA’s process of delivering high quality facilities projects to its customers within NASA community.

3. Each Center or component facility with responsibility for construction projects should have one member at the Council.

4. This Council evolves into the Engineering and Construction Innovations Committee, ECIC, as we know it today.

Background History of ECIC:

Mission: The ECIC is chartered by the Director, Facilities Engineering Division (FED), NASA Headquarters, and exists to advise and support FED in assertively improving the process of delivering safe, efficient, effective, and sustainable facility projects in support of NASA’s mission.

Accomplishes the goal stated by researching, developing, and making recommendations on planning, design, construction, and other facility program issues, guidance, policies, and practices.

5


Pillars for ECIC:

1. Serves as a conduit for innovations: From government, industry, and academic research, introducing

new ideas and new ways of doing business to NASA’s facility engineering and construction organizations;

2. Develop or assess potential new best practices : Customize, recommend, and after a decision to implement,

champion them for NASA;

3. Foster effective networking within the agency: Sharing center-level best practices and center-specific approaches

to common issues;

6


Pillars for ECIC (continue):

4. Foster networking of NASA personnel outside the agency:

With their counterparts in government, industry, and academia by encouraging participation in research teams and attendance at conferences;

5. Foster professional growth of NASA personnel;

6. Training: Develop, evaluate, advocate, and/or publicize relevant NASA

training courses;

7


Pillars for ECIC (continue):

7. Develop and/or recommend process measurements and metrics

8. Act as pioneers for change.

New Pillars:

9. ECIC Management (Logistics/Vision)

10. Tools (improving efficiency)

11. ECIC advocacy and historical record.

8


4. Members to implement innovations and new best practices at their home Center.

5. Both members and alternates to be appointed by their Center’s Facility Director.

6. Members to actively participate in ECIC activities, resolve actions, serve on subcommittees, promote and participate in innovation activities both within & outside of NASA.

9


Membership: 1. One voting member and an alternate member from each of the

ten field Centers and from FED at Headquarters.

2. One non-voting member from each component facility, Headquarters Environmental Management Division, and the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance.

3. ECIC duties to be included in member’s performance plan.

Membership (continue): 1. Officers: Both Chair and Vice-chair are elected by majority votes once a

year, at the end of the first quarter of each fiscal year.

2. Reporting: members report to their respective management. ECIC reports and make recommendations to the Director of Facilities Engineering Division.

3. Meetings: Monthly video teleconferences, with one or two face-to-face meeting annually.

10


Accomplishments: 1. Pre-project Planning.

2. CoF Annual Metrics – include RIR & DART.

3. Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI)

4. BIM Design & Construction Guidelines.

5. Zero Incident Training.

6. LEED and Sustainability Initiatives

7. Lean principles in construction initiative

8. Commissioning Initiative

Construction of Facilities (CoF) Process

Project Selection: 1. Risk Assessment is consistent with NPR 8000.4A, Agency

Risk Management Procedural Requirements.

2. Performance Measures are: Safety Technical Cost Schedule

12


Project Selection (Continue): 1. Risk is operationally defined by: Scenario(s) - Sequential events that lead to injury, fatality,

destruction of assets, etc.) . Likelihood(s) - Possibility that a scenario will occur. Consequence(s) - Performance degradation that would

result if those scenarios were to occur.

Likelihood of Occurrence

Descriptive

Conceivable but extremely unlikely.

Possible but unlikely. Possible at any time.Likely or

intermittent.Certain or

predictable.

The probability of

this event occurring is no greater than expected under

normal operations

The probability of this event occurring

is higher than normal expectations. No

specific mitigation measures have been

developed but mitigation may be required at some

point.

There is a reasonable expectation that this

event may occur. Specific mitigation measures have been developed and are

occasionally required.

There is a reasonable expectation that this event will occur as there is a history of

frequent occurrences. Specific mitigation measures have been developed and are

intermittently required.

The probability of this event occurring at a critical time is almost certain as

there is a history of regular occurrence. Mitigation measures

or changes to operations are in

place and required for any critical

operation.
