LengyelSubject: Space Shuttle Program/Operations-Processing/Workforce Description of Driving Event: Implementation of the Space Flight Operations Contrac
2、t (SFOC)Lesson(s) Learned: One consequence of the implementation of the Space Flight Operations Contract (SFOC) is a reduction in opportunities for NASA personnel to maintain detailed, day-to-day work floor interfaces with their contractor counterparts both at space flight centers and major contract
3、or facilities. This could compromise NASAs ability to carry out its assessment function.Recommendation(s): In order to carry out its assessment role, NASA must maintain some physical presence on the work floor at the space flight centers and major contractor facilities. NASA must ensure that the peo

The participation of NASA engineering and management in the development of Shuttle upgrades will provide further opportunity for the maintenance of an inherent skill base. Finally, there will be functional r
