Appendix A: Facility Representatives Performance Indicators

DOE-STD-1063-2006

Appendix A

FACILITY REPRESENTATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Scope: Carefully chosen Performance Indicators (PIs) can provide valuable

measures of the effectiveness of Facility Representative Programs. These PIs

will be used by Field Element Managers and DOE-HQ personnel to evaluate

program effectiveness. Other PIs may be useful at a local level to determine the

need for local program changes, depending on circumstances that may be

unique to a site. DOE -wide Facility Representative PIs are relatively few in

number, easy to measure and report, applicable to all Facility Representative

Programs, and resistant to misinterpretation. Since effectiveness in providing

contractor oversight may be difficult to capture in measurable terms, some

subjective measures are used.

General Points:

1. The attached Performance Indicators are for DOE -wide use. Field elements

may use additional, local PIs that suit their own needs.

2. PIs for DOE -wide use are divided into the following categories: Staffing,

Training and Qualification, Facility Representative Program

Accomplishments, and Fulfilling the Facility Representative Role.

3. PIs that measure contractor performance have been avoided as measures of

Facility Representative program effectiveness.

4. PIs shall be reported by the Field Element Managers to program offices

quarterly, with a copy sent to the Facility Representative Program Manager,

Office of the Departmental Representative to the Defense Nuclear Facilities

Safety Board (DOE DR-1). At the close of a given quarter, one month is

allocated to assemble PI reports, which are then due on the first working day

of the months of February, May, August, and November.

5. Performance Indicators, their methods of calculation, and goals (or targets)

are presented in the following tables.
