This poster outlines the findings during a 10-week, full-time summer internship at NASA’s Stennis Space Center (SSC) in Mississippi. As an intern with RA10, the Project Management Division of Center Operations Directorate, I contributed to tasks related to the advancement of systems and operations across SSC. My main priority was to optimize the transportation process of work order kits delivered from the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans, Louisiana. An example work order kit would include instructions and materials to complete the replacement of a broken light switch. Unfortunately, kits that arrive at SSC often contain incorrect parts, which results in returning to MAF to get the necessary parts. Integrating a wireless tracking and identification system could improve this way of operating by providing a parts lists and kit location. This idea of using wireless technology will essentially cut costs, time and effort. The main objective for this summer is to develop options for affordable tracking and identification systems that can be used across the agency.
