PAST PERFORMANCE

QUALITY ASSURANCE

STI is committed to delivering excellent products and services that meet NAVSEA’s contract specifications, cost structure, and schedule requirements. A fully integrated business management process is the key to successfully providing uninterrupted, high quality performance. We will use an automated system to manage Task Orders. The system is a Web- based task management system that provides our managers, Team Members and customers with real-time visibility of task-related data from any location worldwide. This automated task management system allows us to monitor the simultaneous performance of tasks among our Team Members. Our approach emphasizes designing and managing for quality by combining our disciplined approach to engineering with quality management. Engineers work with the customer to define goals/requirements and establish mutually-acceptable project plans and schedules. Throughout the project, our management maintains close contact with the customer to document evolving needs and incorporate them into the ongoing work plans. Management monitors, manages, and reports progress regularly. These activities maximize quality without increasing costs.

STI applies its ISO CERTIFIED Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) across every contract and task order for all services and deliverables. The QAP provides guidance to PMs and Task Order Managers for scheduling and performing periodic objective reviews and process improvement procedures. Quality monitoring is accomplished at all project levels, and through a QAP-defined series of periodic reviews/meetings.

At the task level, project and deliverable reviews focus on task-related progress. Task Order Managers work with their team members to ensure the presence of quality in every deliverable and service. All task deliverables and services are planned from the outset with the customer’s desired quality in mind. Customers are routinely invited to also participate in these reviews as appropriate and are always welcomed to visit and watch their products being run or manufactured. Results of reviews are documented and tracked throughout the project. Corrective actions are developed in conjunction with the customer and implemented under the direction of the Program Manager and Quality Manager. All project plans, deliverables and review results are maintained under documented change management and engineered configuration management (ECM) processes. Prior to release to the customer, all products undergo a final inspection that assesses the quality of the deliverable in relationship to the customer and project criteria and requirements.

Underlying STI quality approach are stringent change control and ECM procedures. Effective change control reduces cost and maximizes quality by ensuring all project members have the most current versions of work processes and project documentation. Change management also serves to ensure customer-defined changes are documented. Quality Control and Engineering Management handle configuration management and they document and maintain configurations of the products to ensure quality reviews and inspections are performed in accordance with client expectations.
