Quality Assurance Program

The NTEL·X Team incorporates comprehensive project planning and performance monitoring through the application of industry-standard processes and lessons learned from the NTEL·X Team's project management experience on other major projects. Project planning and performance monitoring is deployed in a manner that maximizes the speed, value and quality of project delivery. Task-level and program-wide quality assurance and control will monitor all work performed by the Team. Proactive risk management is designed to identify, mitigate, and to avoid whenever possible, any adverse risks to program success.

The QA Manager and PM closely monitor the NTEL·X Project Quality Management Plan:

• Quality Plan - The quality management plan employs the following tools and techniques: flowcharting, benchmarking (actual results compared to predicted outcomes), and cost benefit analysis.
• Quality Assurance - Applied with the quality management plan to perform quality audits and create a record of any potential performance gaps and action steps to rectify the risk.
• Quality Control - Responses to change requests require updating the quality management plan, including flowcharts, and conducting trend analysis

The NTEL·X PM institutes an escalation system for notification of issues. The result is effective communication of issues to prevent blindsiding and promote coordination among affected areas. Issue escalation and problem resolution mechanisms are essential for monitoring and maximizing quality.

Approach to guarantee responsiveness to and cooperation with customers. The NTEL·X PM uses technologies as well as proven methodologies to enhance and measure productivity and performance. The NTEL·X Team is fully committed to strict adherence to the performance objectives documented within Seaport-e task orders. Furthermore, the PM applies management operating tools that will allow him to understand, in real-time, how the NTEL·X Team is performing relative to task order requirements. The quality management plan specifically measures quality and accuracy levels.

Seaport-e task order requirements will become the benchmark that provides feedback on the NTEL·X Team's performance to specific functions. By following the established service levels very closely, the NTEL·X Team will anticipate potential problem areas before they approach unacceptable levels, thereby consistently maintaining agreed-upon service levels. Fundamental to this ability is the NTEL·X Team's internal commitment to timeliness of processing, optimum process management and continuous improvement.

The NTEL·X Team understands the importance of proactive and flexible quality reporting to its clients, and will have a regular reporting schedule. The approach to data reporting is to provide proactive logical views of all data, thus enabling stakeholders to have access to data anytime, and in whatever format required.

The NTEL·X Team will monitor, manage and report on all aspects of service performance associated with service levels, and especially support activities such as administration and client service. The NTEL·X quality system provides all of the qualitative and quantitative data required to provide focused continuous improvement, dictating the quality management practices and procedures necessary to ensure the attainment of the quality standards defined in task orders, while also providing the output data and service performance feedback, which is necessary to conduct sustainable, enduring and proactive continuous improvement. This ensures that quality standards are more than adequately satisfied throughout the entire lifecycle of the task order, while providing a solid foundation from which to deliver ongoing improvement, and guaranteeing responsiveness to and cooperation with customers.

Approach to problem resolution. The NTEL·X PM will employ relationship management processes that focus on a well-designed problem resolution mechanism. These processes incorporate an escalation system for notification of issues. The highest executive levels of both NTEL·X and CTC are available to the PM to ensure the necessary resources are provided to resolve problems. Effective communication of issues to prevent blindsiding and promote coordination among affected areas lowers program risk and improves performance. The NTEL·X PM will provide an issue escalation and problem resolution mechanism plan for each Seaport-e task order.
