Outputs

Progress on the activities necessary to complete Transformation Initiatives will be tracked using common program management techniques. The output of Initiatives will also be monitored to confirm that expected results are being delivered and to inform adjustments as necessary. The link between these outputs and Transformation Outcomes must also be monitored to validate the assumptions at the core of the strategy. This supplement to the CSP presents a starting point for monitoring the outputs of initiatives in this plan.

Implement clear roles and responsibilities for Industry's compliance assurance systems
Output: Companies that demonstrate compliance maturity have more control over the certification process
Confidence in Industry systems	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Scorecard to check consistency of engagement against the prescribed responsibilities in the Maturity Model	Reduce the time for approval decisions
FAA involvement in tasks performed by Industry	Increase AIR's productivity
Confidence in bilateral partner systems	Reduce the time for approval decisions Increase AIR's productivity
Output: AIR involvement targets areas of highest safety risk across the lifecycle
Alignment between finding of compliance and safety risk management analyses	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Discretionary level of involvement in all phases aligns with level of risk	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum

Establish system oversight of compliance assurance systems
Output: AIR involvement focuses on design related activities outside of the critical path
Confidence in Industry systems	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Percentage of AIR activities outside (oversight, pre/post) the project phase	Increase the schedule predictability of approval decisions
Confidence in bilateral partner systems	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Output: AIR engagement with bilateral partners is focused on increasing confidence, resulting in reduced validation effort
Consistency in level of involvement decisions	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Consistency in policy to incentivize Industry maturity	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Percentage of projects with duplicate review by FAA and FCAAs	Increase AIR's productivity

Cultivate a just culture
Output: Organizations proactively demonstrate compliance with regulations
Airworthiness noncompliance rates – ratio of discovered by AIR to self-reported	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Number of companies with voluntary self-disclosure and correction	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Output: Industry is collectively more committed to compliance, self-correction, and voluntary disclosure
Number of potentially unsafe features, Timeliness of the corrective actions	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Consistency of compliance findings, safety risk models, and operational safety risk with the Safety Continuum	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum

Establish early engagement between AIR and stakeholders
Output: Project schedules are more predictable
Percentage of projects with FAA involvement where early engagement occurred	Increase the schedule predictability of approval decisions
Variance from PSCP schedule for project changes or delays per the original plan	Increase the schedule predictability of approval decisions
Number of adjustments (issues, ELOS or SC actions) made after application	Increase the schedule predictability of approval decisions
Output: Approvals of compliance assurance systems are more timely
Calendar days required to approve a compliance assurance system	Reduce the time for approval decisions

Shift toward performance-based regulations and policy where practical
Output: The regulatory framework takes less time to accommodate innovations
Number of identified prescriptive regulations or policies restricting innovation	Reduce the time for approval decisions
Capture issue papers as policy for future actions	Reduce the time for approval decisions
Scorecard for the adaptability of regulations and policy to innovative technology, production methods, and business models	Reduce the time for approval decisions

Actively promote partnerships among international stakeholders
Output: Duplication of international certification work is reduced
Percentage of tasks in Validation Approval that are duplicative of original certification efforts	Increase AIR's productivity
Confidence in bilateral partners' systems	Increase AIR's productivity

Implement a consistent risk analysis governance over the product lifecycle
Output: Consistent decisions based on a transparent, documented approach informed by systems thinking
Consistency across similar decisions or rate decisions are upheld	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Issues resolved by phase: early engagement, project, manufacturing, COS	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Output: Regulations and policy better reflect safety risk assessments and insights on the effectiveness of safety controls
Consistency across similar decisions, or rate decisions are upheld	Increase AIR's productivity
Output: The consistent, global application of the risk analysis governance reduces regulatory costs
Policy consistency with foreign CAAs in how risk analysis is performed	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Consistency with timing of risk analysis application during certification	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Consistency with timing of risk analysis application during oversight	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Output: Resources are allocated consistently across the product lifecycle
Consistency with risk-based decision-making tools used at different phases of the product lifecycle	Increase AIR's productivity

Make relevant information accessible to decision makers
Output: Better-informed decisions enabled by greater access to information
Qualitative feedback on tools used, accessibility, user-friendliness and how well they meet the need for routine tasks	Increase AIR's productivity
Output: Knowledge management adapts quickly to evolving needs
Utilization rates for knowledge and information resources access and use as signs of perceived usefulness	Increase AIR's productivity
Time to deliver information management solutions to the workforce	Increase AIR's productivity

Create a framework to enhance collaboration internally and externally
Output: The work environment promotes appropriate authority, inclusion, and learning
Decision level variation from typical decision authority	Increase AIR's productivity
Effective management of conflicts and crises	Increase AIR's productivity
Scorecard on support for geographically dispersed teams and industry inclusion	Increase AIR's productivity
Output: The roles and expectations for stakeholder engagements are clear
Earlier engagement for shared problem solving	Manage operational safety risk across the Safety Continuum
Scorecard on team access, context, and information availability	Increase AIR's productivity

Empower our people with the resources necessary to effectively perform their roles
Output: The work environment promotes appropriate authority, inclusion, and learning
Decision level variation from typical decision authority (e.g., division, branch, stakeholder, reviewed or over-ruled)	Increase AIR's productivity
Upheld versus Overturned decisions after disposition using the Consistency and Standardization Initiative (CSI) Process	Increase AIR's productivity
Output: The AIR workforce is empowered, capable, and knowledgeable about the most recent technological advances in the aviation industry
Workforce assessment of empowerment	Increase AIR's productivity
Improved assessment of employee empowerment as measured by the FedView Survey	Increase AIR's productivity
