PURPOSE

This Marshall Procedures and Guidelines (MPG) provides for the definition of traceability requirements for in-house produced or procured configuration items, parts, material, and software while under Marshall Space Flight Center's (MSFC) control (i.e., manufacturing, delivery, operations, storage, etc.).

This procedure implements the requirements of MPD 1280.1, "Marshall Management Manual."

APPLICABILITY

This MPG applies to all MSFC organizational elements involved in the design, procurement, fabrication, inspection, test, and operation of hardware and software for MSFC projects. It shall be used for MSFC-developed flight hardware, flight software, and flight-associated ground support equipment products. Traceability, if required, for nonflight items controlled by MPG 8060.2 and facility items controlled by MPG 8823.1 shall be jointly decided by the design control process owner and the program/project manager/customer/user.
