Quality Assurance

The Team’s STR, Mr. Luke Hyder, will strictly ensure adherence to the SRM Quality Assurance (QA) process, which produces and/or updates TO documents efficiently and with high quality. Mr. Hyder will select a Lead Analyst/Senior Engineer to head up the development/production of each deliverable. The Lead Analyst/Senior Engineer will review the task requirements with the respective government Principal Investigator (PI) and the STR, including time, specification, delivery dates, and commence the task’s accomplishment. Tasks will be reviewed on a weekly basis. If an existing TO document is to be updated, every effort will be made to develop change pages, or pen-and-ink change narrative, in order to minimize cost. If a more extensive update is required, the first objective is to determine the availability of existing word processing files/disks and compatibility. The same process is followed for production if the SRM Team is required to develop a new TO document. At this time, adjustments in priorities will be made, and work assignments shifted, if required, in order to ensure that task accomplishments and CDRL delivery dates are met.

The SRM Quality Control (QC) process, a subset of the QA process, promotes quality control checkpoints. The quality of SRM Team products delivered to the government is of paramount importance. This checklist is a mandatory requirement for all SRM Team deliverables. A series of quality control checkpoints will be used to ensure built-in quality as a product proceeds toward delivery. Activity that takes place at each checkpoint is:

Final review and accuracy check in meeting task requirements along with a final of the QC checklist by the SRM STR.
