WSTF Processes and Procedures White Sands Test Facility
WSTF utilizes a common management and document system (available on the Technical Reference Library - TRL) Management System Manual (MSM) WSTF Document System (WDS)
Contractor and NASA processes and procedures are integrated in both the MSM and WDS
The MSM and WDS contains the processes and documents necessary to perform the WSTF mission
Audits to certify to ISO 9001 and 14001 rely on these processes and documents
19
WSTF Processes and Procedures White Sands Test Facility
WSTF is a test facility and does not originate program requirements…we must often originate the means to satisfy those requirements
Customers are from JSC, other NASA centers, other Government agencies, and private industry
Requirements for each product or service are established by on-site NASA Project Managers (PM’s) that work with off-site customers to define the specific requirements to meet customer objectives
Contractors provide managerial, technical, and administrative capabilities to execute NASA requirements
20
WSTF Processes and Procedures White Sands Test Facility
WSTF is a member organization of the Rocket Propulsion Test Program (RPT) and works closely with the Program Office located at the Stennis Space Center (SSC) regarding the Rocket Propulsion Test Management Board (RPTMB)
