SeaPort-e Quality Assurance Program

At the contract level, ANT will extend our corporate quality management standards across the membership of our SEAPORT Enhanced Team.  This proactive program is modeled after the ISO 9001 international quality standard.  It is ANT’s intent that team auditors have ISO Lead Auditor training and certification, and all internal organizations are reviewed annually to ensure that sound quality systems are in place and functioning.  We will leverage our larger businesses within the team, and their quality programs and audit experience to benefit our subcontractors and promote their internal quality programs.  The Team QA Manager will oversee implementation of the quality program across the contract.

At the task order level, we will also implement our quality program as a framework for generating team metrics and identifying task order specific improvement opportunities.  Within this quality framework, task order managers will develop and implement task order specific quality plans within each task order master plan.  Each plan will be managed, tracked, and reported to ensure compliance with all customer and program specific quality requirements.  Where necessary, credentialed experts in QA will be directed to perform technical task assignments on an on-call or long-term basis.  Team personnel will have access to consistent quality management guidance, tools, and processes, and ANT will facilitate on-line submission of QA documentation for collaborative review.
