SMS Theory and Application (8 days) SMS I Principles and Application (Basic) Course with SDG A Safety Management System (SMS) is not "one size fits all". Each SMS must be tailored for each organization based upon their regulations, culture, processes, procedures, size and complexity. MITRE recognizes this fact and has helped the SMS students by performing a world-wide literature search of the SMS best-practices performed by leading organizations that have already adopted and implemented SMS. This information has been compiled into a SMS Development Guidebook (SDG) that complies with the expectations of the ICAO 9859 Safety Management Manual Second Edition. During the course the students will customize the SDG to fit the needs of their own particular organization by choosing between procedures used by small, medium and large organizations, as well as optional procedures that go above and beyond ICAO expectations. The SDG contains all of the information, procedures, forms and tools to allow the students to create their own customized SMS manual and to begin their own SMS implementation immediately after completion of the course. This class includes the 5 day SMS I (Basic) Course and those students wishing to customize a SDG continue on for 3 additional days of working with our instructors to create their customized SMS Manual.
