Abstract
To facilitate learning among new users for the COMPASS evaluation tool, this paper will provide a detailed description of the process of evaluating a single program element – Inventory. The Inventory element will be demonstrated using defined sub-elements, contribution factors, and assessment activity to determine effectiveness ratings. This paper will also provide the background information needed for an auditor to review program effectiveness, in light of the changing requirements under NNSA Policy (NAPs), which relies heavily on site program establishing their own performance metrics.
