Since 1967, the DOD has required its contractors to have cost and schedule performance measurement systems that satisfy certain criteria. These criteria are considered necessary to monitor and control contract performance. Specifically, the objectives of the criteria are for contractors to have cost and schedule control systems which accomplish both of the following: are effective for contractors in meeting their requirements for controlling contract performance; and Provide data which give an adequate basis for responsible decision-making by both contractor management and DoD components. The criteria, known as the Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (C/SCSC), are applicable to selected contracts within programs designated as major system acquisitions. Over the years since 1967, controversies surrounding C/SCSC and associated reporting requirements have existed within industry and government. These controversies or issues can be categorized under two headings: (1) whether the costs of the criteria and associated reporting requirements outweigh their benefits, and (2) concerns about the specifies of how these requirements have been implemented.

This document provides an overview of the Cost and Schedule Control Systems Criteria (CSCSC), and their operation and application on selected contracts within DOE projects. Detailed guidance for the implementation of these Criteria to specific contracts and for the review and acceptance of contractors' cost and schedule control systems for compliance therewith is contained in DOE/CR2250/2. Other guidance is provided in the following areas: the duties and responsibilities of participants in systems review activities and in the continued government surveillance of contractors' systems; contractor reporting of performance data to DOE and DOE analysis of these data; and the use of the Work Breakdown Structure technique.

This document provides guidance for implementation of DOE Order 2250.1B, Cost and Schedule Control Systems Criteria (CSCSC) for Contract Performance Measurement. Its use assists DOE and contractor representatives in fulfilling their responsibilities for meeting CSCSC requirements. The CSCSC are designed to avoid the necessity for imposition of specific management control systems on contractors. Implementation of the CSCSC consistent with this guidance and compliance with the contractual requirements for work definition, cost and schedule control, and performance reporting provide DOE assurance that a contractor's cost and schedule progress is sufficiently visible to provide a reliable basis for timely and meaningful management decisions.

This document provides uniform guidance for implementation of the DOE Order 2250.1, Cost and Schedule Control Systems Criteria (CSCSC) for Contract Performance Measurement. Its purpose is to assist both DOE and contractor representatives in fulfilling their responsibilities for meeting CSCSC requirements. Compliance with the contractual requirements for work definition, cost and schedule control, and performance reporting should provide increased assurance that a contractor's progress is sufficiently visible to indicate status reliably and to provide the basis for timely and meaningful management decisions. 8 figures. (RWR).

The purpose of this pamphlet is to inform interested DOE and industry personnel about the basic concepts and general requirements of the Cost and Schedule Control Systems Criteria (CSCSC) of DOE Order 2250.1A. the CSCSC do not represent a management system nor do they prescribe specific methods of organization or operation. The criteria are intended to serve as standards of measuring adequacy of management control systems. Objectives in using the criteria are: (1) to provide an accurate status of contract progress; (2) to provide early visibility to problems - prevent surprises; (3) to improve estimated final cost projections; (4) to improve on shortcomings of prior requirements; and (5) to minimize proliferation of systems and data problems. The CSCSC contain thirty-five criteria which are grouped into five categories: organization; planning and budgeting; accounting; analysis; and revisions and access to data.

This document provides guidance on development and use of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) technique. It describes the types of work breakdown structures, their preparation, and their effective use for organizing, planning, and controlling projects and contracts managed by the Department of Energy (DOE). The WBS technique is the preferred management tool for identifying and defining work. It provides an ordered framework for planning and controlling the work efforts to be performed in achieving technical objectives and for summarizing data, and the quantitative and narrative reports used for monitoring cost, schedule and technical performance. A WBS is developed for first identifying the major end items or systems to be produced, followed by their successive subdivision into increasingly detailed and manageable subsidiary products. Most of these subsidiary products are the direct result of work, while others are simply the aggregation of selected products into a logical set for management control purposes. In either case, detailed tasks are eventually identified for each product on the WBS at the level where work will be performed. As a minimum, these detailed tasks or work packages identify the product, describe the effort to be performed, identify the resources to be applied, specify the budget and schedule constraints, and the technical requirements, and identify the organizational element responsible for work accomplishment.
