"Preserving Our Resources - Protecting Our Future"

TRAINING SESSIONS
Make plans to attend one or more of our Training Sessions on Monday, May 4!

- MRSPP Online Training
8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Mr. Victor Wieszek, ODUSD(I&E)/EM
ODUSD (I&E) developed the MRSPP training as a tool for installations working to complete all Site Inspections at Munitions Response Sites (MRSs) by the end of FY2010. Moving toward this goal, it is imperative that service personnel know that this online training resource exists. The training will enable service personnel and stakeholder to better understand the intricacies of applying the MRSPP and disseminate the training. The training is comprised of six modules, including an introduction. The following is an overview of each module. EHE, CHE, and HHE Modules – These modules outline the structure of the protocol and how each hazard evaluation module fits into the protocol’s structure. Illustrated within each of these modules are the specific data elements and factors evaluated. Further, these modules include instructions on completing the tables necessary to evaluate an MRS and determine a rating for each module.

Administrative Requirements Module – This module focuses on performing quality assurance, sequencing of MRSs, documenting the prioritization process, reporting the relative MRS priorities, and reviewing and applying the protocol.

Determining the MRS Priority Module – This module highlights completion of the table that determines the MRS priority and designating the highest module rating to determine the MRS priority or alternative MRS rating.

Knowledge checks are included in each module so that learners may track their progress. In addition, there is an interactive exercise at the conclusion of the program where learners can apply their knowledge by gathering data and determining the MRS priority to a fictional case study. Participation in the training will allow participants to develop an understanding of the features associated with online training including print and mute functionalities, the navigation bar, and resources section.

- Green Procurement Training
8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Mr. Gerry Nelson & Ms. Mikki Brooks, DLA
This session will cover federal purchasing requirements for environmentally preferable products (green procurement). In addition to environmental mandates, it discusses requirements in the FAR pertaining to the acquisition cycle, required sources of supply, shopping tools, specifications, and life cycle analysis. This is a condensed session of a workshop that normally lasts two days.

- Special Session from Granta Design
1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
"Managing and Using Materials Information for Sustainable Engineering and Design"
Effective management and use of materials information is critical to sustainable engineering and design. Examples include: restricted substances, where it is vital to know which materials and processes are impacted and how to avoid or substitute them; and design for low energy usage or low carbon footprint, where materials choices made during design can have a major impact. This seminar session will examine best practices in the management of mission-critical materials data and explore how the associated technologies are now being extended to support sustainable engineering, particularly in response to restricted substance problems. The session will include talks, software demonstrations, and discussion. It will be chaired by materials information technology experts, Granta Design, and draw on Granta’s work with two relevant consortia – the Material Data Management Consortium (members include NASA, U.S. Navy, Los Alamos National Labs, Oak Ridge National Labs, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, Raytheon, GE – Aviation) and the Environmental Materials Information Technology Consortium (members include NASA, Rolls-Royce, Eurocopter, and EADS Astrium).
