The Consolidated Cordage Quality Management
Team (QMT)
The QMT is managed by the
Consolidated Quality Manager (QM) and PM who develop, maintain
and deliver customized Quality Assurance Plans (QAPs). They
ensure that quality policy is
confirmed, audited, monitored and disciplined. The QM views
quality as conformance with specifications, a measurable approach
to quality assessment that complies with ISO 9001:2000. To this
end, the QM:
Ensures clarity of task
specifications and goals;
Integrates task
instructions into a comprehensive and precise quality plan;
Ensures training and
formal qualifications of employees for the tasks they will
perform;
Monitors process
discipline, confirmed by audits, evaluations and trending.
The Consolidated
QM quantifies quality standards and employs a proactive, ongoing “continuous improvement”
quality model that ensures that quality standards are satisfied throughout the lifecycle
of a program or task order:
No matter the size or complexity of a program or project the Consolidated QMT assembles
and issues a quality assurance workbook. This workbook collects all relevant
quality information, specifications, standards, standard operating procedures, forms
and references in one place for each resource. The workbook contains all the
performance tests, inspection criteria and other standards by which performance
conformance to specifications will be measured, and in which this data can be recorded
for later reference, if necessary. These documented, mature, and proven quality
management policies, principles and practices provide a confirmed quality system.
