The SeaPort-e DSCI Team has implemented and maintains an established and well-documented Quality Assurance/Configuration Management (QA/CM) plan, to ensure product integrity that meets or exceeds the established program and task order requirements. The team has appropriate processes in place that ensure a integrated QA and CM approach for all products and services that it provides, using commonly accepted practices employed by industry. This QA/CM Plan defines the processes and procedures that are to be followed by all team personnel in the execution of the design, development, and delivery of all products and services in performance of all of its contracts and delivery orders.
The team has a proven system of policies, procedures and instructions to guide its products and services in a quality manner, and understands the importance of following these policies, procedures, and instructions. This assures the quality of its products, services and deliverables, and the ability to deliver what is required.
The implementation of a formal QA/CM plan and processes is necessary and invaluable to the DSCI team for several critical reasons:
The implementation of a formal QA/CM plan and processes is necessary and invaluable to the DSCI team for several critical reasons:
A Quality Assurance Manager will be assigned, who will work to ensure that all program standards and requirements for Quality Assurance are met. The QA Manager will be responsible for oversight and coordination on all quality assurance matters. An important role of the QA manager is to interface with the DSCI Team personnel on a regular basis, as part of an iterative process to implement QA/CM that is optimum for the program as a whole. This involves interfacing with, and receiving feedback, from Program Managers, and Project Leads PL, and also individual software and system developers and integrators; thus providing the opportunity for the continuous improvement of quality product and process procedures.
The plan demonstrates to customers that the DSCI team develops products via managed engineering processes.
The plan ensures that all products and product records are readily available, and are current.
The plan seeks to incorporate process and discipline into all of the DSCI team's design/development/engineering practices.
This also provides a mechanism for the continuous improvement of quality product and process procedures, via QA management input and feedback from those following the plan.
