Recommendations

Develop and maintain project artifacts for CIPIMS as required in the PMM.

Determine what systems, structures and components assembled or manufactured off-site need to be inspected prior to arrival at the construction site in support of the ITAAC closure process.

Develop a formal vendor inspection coordination strategy to ensure appropriate inspections of modular systems, structures, and components assembled or manufactured off-site.

Develop a plan to correct the existing communication and coordination problems between headquarters and Region II that resulted from a lack of a change management process for ITAAC-related issues.

Develop and implement a change management process to address future change in the ITAAC process that can create barriers to effective communication and coordination.
