SSP 30223J, PROBLEM REPORTING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR THE SPACE STATION PROGRAM - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PROGRAM (29 MAY 2000)

SSP 30223J, PROBLEM REPORTING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR THE SPACE STATION PROGRAM - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PROGRAM (29 MAY 2000)., Design, manufacturing, and operational discrepancies discovered in International Space Station (ISS) hardware are resolved through use of an organized system of problem reporting, analysis, resolution, and trending. This document establishes requirements and responsibilities for establishing and operating the Space Station Problem Reporting and Corrective Action (PRACA) system as required by SSP 41173, Space Station Quality Assurance Requirements. The implementation of these requirements provide for effective recurrence control, provides experience data retention, and minimizes the technical and schedule impact of problems. The objective of the ISS PRACA system is to utilize existing National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Contractor, Payload Developer, and International Partner/ Participant (IP/P) engineering and management infrastructure for problem resolution and disposition. The requirements of this document shall apply to the NASA International Space Station Program Office (ISSPO), the ISS Prime Contractor, and NASA/ Prime organizations responsible for providing equipment or processing to be used as a part of the ISS system. These requirements cover the reporting, processing and resolution of all problems on equipment for which the ISSPO, including the ISS Payloads Office, and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) offices have responsibility. The IP/Ps shall maintain a Problem Reporting system as defined in the NASA/ International Partners/ Participants Bilateral Agreements. The contents of this document are intended to be consistent with the tasks and products to be prepared by Program participants. The Problem Reporting and Corrective Action Requirements for the International Space Station Program shall be implemented on all new ISS contractual and internal activities and shall be included in existing contracts through contract changes. This document is under the control of the International Space Station Safety and Mission Assurance (S&MA) Panel, and changes or revisions to this document will be approved by the NASA and Prime S&MA Managers (or delegated representatives).
