Join us for this informative virtual event!!

Are you a Department of Defense (DoD) contractor or sub-contractor in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB)?

Are you currently required to enter Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) scores in Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE)?

Do you think you may have to enter these scores at some point?

Do you access or generate Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)?

 

If you replied ‘yes’ or ‘maybe’ to any of these questions, then you need to attend this event!!!

5-day notice audits have already begun for military and defense contractors – the DoD / DMCA (Defense Management Contract Agency) only has to give you 5-days notice if they want to come and audit your SPRS score. Are you confident in your SPRS score? If this score is inaccurate then you can be penalized and lose your DoD contract. So why risk it? Come to this 4-hour workshop and listen to the experts who can provide you with the knowledge you need to keep your DoD contracts and what you need to so now to accurately verify your SPRS score. We will also tell you what to expect during these audits.

Questions we will answer:

What is the SPRS requirement?

What is the SPRS score telling the government?

Why has SPRS been added to DFARS 7012?

How does the DoD Low Self-Assessment align with existing requirements under DFARS 7012?

What evidence is expected to support the SPRS score?

What evidence and documentation do I need to meet DFARS 7012 that I can use to meet SPRS requirements?

What impact does my Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) have on my score?

What are the expected changes to the DoD’s policy on acceptance or denial of certain POA&M items for DFARS 7012 and SPRS?

How does the score relate to CMMC certification?

Who is responsible for enforcing the SPRS requirement?

What are the DoD’s standards for Prime Contractor enforcement to their subcontractors under the Contractor Purchasing System Review Guidebook?

What are the expectations of Prime Contractors for an SPRS score?

What are the risks of posting an inaccurate SPRS score?

Is there a risk if the score is inaccurate related to the Federal False Claims Act or other contract penalties?

Plus…any additional questions you have!!

 

Who Should Attend: 

Owner, CEO, C-Level Executive, IT, Quality Manager, Operations Manager, General Manager, Business Development

Join Us For IIoT: Machine Monitoring & TMAC Automation Lab at UTARI

Two primary applications of IIoT device deployment are in the Predictive Maintenance and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Monitoring spaces. Adding predictive maintenance technology to critical infrastructure can save both on maintenance costs and downtime while extending the life of equipment. Additionally, adding machine monitoring sensorization technology to critical assets can help visualize the ‘true’ usage, identify potential wastes, and track Return on Investment (ROI).

During this event, attendees will be shown examples of real-world applications deployed by TMAC personnel and will be guided through a hands-on tour of the TMAC Automation Lab at UTARI.

Attendees will be exposed to:

• Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) & Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
• Remote Equipment Status Data Acquisition & Visualization 
• Machine Tool Health Monitoring (i.e. tool breakage)
• The various levels of sensorization and hardware/systems ranging in prices and integration levels.

**Please contact Cyrus.Rahimzadeh@tmac.org if you have any additional questions.

Master Black Belts play a critical role in deployment of a successful Lean Six Sigma Program. This course helps develop three of the competencies every MBB needs:

1. The ability to instruct others in LSS tools, methods and concepts
2. The ability to coach other Belts to help them achieve better results faster
3. The ability to provide deeper understanding of technical concepts and tools

This is a very rigorous class that solidifies technical ability and classroom mechanics for successful instruction and coaching of candidate Black Belts and Green Belts. Participants will:

• Develop in-depth understanding of LSS tools and methods through extensive technical case studies, ‘deep dives,’ and hands-on exercises
• Develop knowledge of how to deliver classroom training
• Become more confident as an instructor through practice in a safe environment
• Learn methods for coaching GBs/BBs to help them complete projects faster

NOTE: MBB candidates must be certified LSS Black Belts to qualify for this course.

Week 1: February 20 – 24, 2023

Week 2: March 27 – 31, 2023

Week 3: April 24 – 28, 2023
