THE OFFICE OF SAFETY AND MISSION ASSURANCE (OSMA) IS ENTERING THEIR THIRD YEAR CUSTOMIZING THE HUMAN FACTORS ANALYSIS AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM TO CLASSIFY THE NASA FACTORS LEADING TO MISHAPS WHEN INJURY IS INVOLVED . THE CLASSIFICATION OF FACTORS IS SUFFICIENTLY TIERED AND DETAILED TO ENABLE MULTIPLE FACTORS TO BE IDENTIFIED, AND RECORDED DIGITALLY AS PART OF THE FAILURE INVESTIGATION. THIS PRACTICE ENABLES THE IDENTIFICATION OF COMMON FACTORS LEADING TO INJURY AND ENABLES A SYSTEMATIC MULTIVARIATE APPROACH TO STUDY CAUSALITY AND IDENTIFY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES..WHILE FAILURES LEADING TO INJURY ARE INTEGRATED INSTITUTIONALLY BY OSMA, THE OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER (OCE) IS ALSO INTERESTED IN ALL TYPES OF FAILURES DURING SPACECRAFT DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS. THOSE FAILURES ARE OFTEN MANAGED LOCALLY AS PROJECT ISSUES OR ENGINEERING ISSUES. LOCAL INVESTIGATIONS MAY RESULT IN FAILURE REPORTS, CORRECTIVE ACTIONS, AND LESSONS LEARNED DOCUMENTS. RESEARCH ACROSS MANY FAILURES HELPS IDENTIFY ROOT CAUSES, IMPROVING THE RELEVANCE OF FUTURE FAILURE REPORTS AND INFORMING FUTURE DESIGNS TO BE MORE RESILIENT . THIS RESEARCH IS LIMITED BY THE "CONTEXT" OF THE FAILURE REPORTS (FORMAT, AVAILABILITY, CONSISTENCY, QUALITY, ETC.). A SIMILAR "CONTEXT" CONCERN WAS CONFRONTED BY OSMA WITH THE RESULTING REQUIREMENTS IN THIS STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) FOR UPDATING THE DIGITALLY ACCESSIBLE NASA HFACS FORMAT. .NASA'S STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS DIVISION (SID) HAS ESTABLISHED ADVANCED TECHNIQUES TO SUPPORT COST MODELING THAT UTILIZE MANY NEW APPROACHES TO CHARACTERIZE AND ACCOMMODATE RISK IN THEIR INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE SOLUTIONS (IAS). THESE IAS SUPPORT COST MODELING BY INTEGRATING VARIOUS NASA DATA TYPES, INCLUDING PROGAMMATICS, SO THAT MATHEMATICAL MODELS AND REAL-TIME DASHBOARDS CAN BE CREATED TO ASSIST WITH PROJECT FORMULATION, DEVELOPMENT, MANAGEMENT, AND ASSESSMENT. OSMA HAS PARTNERED WITH OCE AND SID TO ENABLE DIGITAL CORRELATION WITH FAILURE HISTORIES AND ASSOCIATED RISK THROUGH THE REQUIREMENTS IN THIS SOW.
