2、ngineering and Safety Center (NESC) was charted to perform independent technical analyses and evaluations of complex technical issues of Agency programs by using a diverse team of scientists and engineers from across the Agency. This is being accomplished successfully using the One NASA approach. As

3、 such, the NESC has become a pathfinder activity for the development of a One NASA organization. Numerous administrative hurdles had to be overcome in establishing the NESC as a true, One NASA organization. Improvements are needed in the areas of personnel records, payroll, benefits, directory servi

4、ces, IT, and property control among others.Description of Driving Event: The requirement for the NESC originated as recommendation R7.5-1 from the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB), (CAIB Report, Volume I, pg. 193). To be effective, the NESC was charted as a One NASA organization. Organiz

5、ing under the One NASA model proved difficult, due in part to unexpected issues with Agency-wide support functions. The inconsistency continually impeded progress toward the goal of a full operating capability and caused undue stress to personnel.Lesson(s) Learned: The NESC is located at LaRC. A por

6、tion of the NESC work force is located at LaRC while other NESC employees are located at their home Centers and report to their NESC supervisors at LaRC. The following issues occurred for NESC employees remaining at their home centers:a71 Medical Records a72 Employee medical records were transferred

NASA employees outside of the NESC are frequently used on NESC projects.a71 Property Control a72 Property used by a NESC employee at a home Center stayed under home Center Property Control System.

12、 Should be tagged to the NESC. When Property Loan Agreements are required, there is no NESC Supervisor at the respective Centers (all NESC Supervisors reside at LaRC). All future NESC funded equipment will be tagged to LaRC.a71 Badge Requirements/Access to Buildings a72 Some NESC employees were unab

This will allow the Agency to develop real-time solutions that will limit similar problems in the future. One process is being developed for Property Con
