Welcome to the website for the annual Supply Chain conference at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). This unique, multi-disciplinary conference series draws together leaders and practitioners from the space industry and suppliers, NASA, and other federal agencies. It is managed and produced by the Supply Chain Management Team within GSFC’s Safety and Mission Assurance Directorate. Supply Chain 2012, the 6th annual NASA Supply Chain Quality Assurance conference, will be held October 16 – 18, 2012 at GSFC in Greenbelt, Maryland. The conference includes two full days of speakers and panel sessions (October 16 – 17th) along with a guided tour of GSFC facilities and a workshop (October 18th). There is no fee for the conference, but all participants (including NASA employees) must register. Registration will open in early June. |

Last year’s conference achieved a record turnout of more than 275 participants from multiple disciplines integral to space missions, including project management, systems engineering, mission and quality assurance, risk management, supplier management and industrial base policy. The growth of the conference reflects the increasing importance of pro-actively addressing risks and challenges associated with the supply chains for space missions and assuring mission success.
