Abstract

The guide provides uniform guidance for the Reactor Development and Demonstration Division (RDD) and other Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) organizations responsible for surveillance of the RDD Performance Measurement System (PMS) criteria for cost and schedule control systems. Guidance for implementation of the PMS criteria and acceptance of a contractor's management control system is provided in RDD/PMS-2, PMS Implementation Guide. The procedural guidance contained in the guide should be adapted to specific organizational structures and to specific situations as they arise. Details concerning the PMS surveillance of each contractor's management control system should be developed by the Cognizant Contracting Office (CCO), coordinated with the Cognizant Federal Auditor (CFA), and agreed upon by RDD Project Management. Any procedures employed should be consistent with the guidance contained herein and in the PMS Implementation Guide. The guidance furnished will provide assistance to: (1) RDD Project Management in formulating surveillance plans and determining resource requirements; (2) RDD surveillance personnel in accomplishing their surveillance functions; and (3) contractors in understanding the requirements of the surveillance program and responding to them.
