2、improvement observations/recommendations were made following the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Advance Baseline Imager (ABI) Formulation Phase Source Evaluation Board Proposal review process. The lessons learned recommendations (2) were formulated through direct GOES ABI S

3、EB experience. These recommendations (lessons learned format) are aimed at minimizing biases and facilitating a more uniform and equitable approach within the proposal review process.Lesson(s) Learned: The potential for inherent (and understandable) biases within the SEB Proposal Review process to i

4、nfluence this process is well known . These biases are tied to individual experiences with varying contractors, programs, hardware, biases established due to the iterative nature of proposal development and evaluation, past proposal review experience, etc. In order to better control the influences o

5、f these biases and provide a uniform and equitable review of the submitted proposals the SEB team should consider the following recommendations prior to commencing with the applicable activities.Recommendation(s): 1. Upon receipt of the proposals, scan through them and start the evaluation process w

6、ith what you think will be a nominal proposal, rather than starting with the best or worst, or arbitrarily doing them alphabetically or some other order. Beginning with a nominal one will calibrate the team, encourage everyone to fairly look for strengths (which seems to be a harder concept for peop

7、le than finding weaknesses), and make the review of the first one easier. If you start with the best one, the reviewers will be overly negative with the others. If you start with a bad Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-one, it will be a

8、 lot harder to get through it when you havent yet refined your processes, and people will be tempted later to give unwarranted strengths to other proposals just because they see things that werent covered well in the bad proposal.2. Past performance is a difficult thing to evaluate and will be a vol

9、atile subject during presentations of the SEB results. Except in rare cases of recent clear success or failure, past performance is a very muddy subject with many extenuating circumstances. Every contractor has their closet skeletons and every government manager has their own opinions of history wit

10、h various contractors. Clearly define the time period over which past performance will be evaluated and stick to it (If some contractor debacle happened prior to your past performance evaluation time period, do your best to ignore it in your evaluations and be ready to justify why it is appropriate

11、to ignore it). Put significant effort into past performance evaluations to insure your findings are fair and justifiable to the selecting official. Info provided by contractors is confusing, incomplete, and almost always skewed to make them look good. It takes a lot of work to call customers and mak

12、e real sense out of past performance in technical, schedule, and cost categories. Begin your past performance calls or mailings early in the proposal review process.Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness: N/ADocuments Related to Lesson: N/AMission Directorate(s): a71 Exploration Systemsa71 Sci
