MIS Quality Assurance Program
MIS Corporate Quality Assurance Program provides best practices and procedures for all aspects of contract performance and administration, and is both ISO 9001:2000 and NAVSEA Standard Item 009-04 compliant. Integral parts of the Corporate Quality Assurance Program are the Quality Assurance Managment and Quality Assurance Procedures (QAPs) for the close, consistent monitoring of work quality. The MIS Quality Assurance Management Manual (QAMM) provides the framework for on-time, in-cost delivery of quality products. In addition, we use proven Process Control Procedures (PCP) and Work Procedures (WP).

A coporate QA Manager, assigned the authority and responsibility for implementation of the Quality Assurance Program, periodically updates our process controls and work procedures to reflect state-of-the art, optimum practices. QA Supervisors (QS) and Quality Control Inspectors (QCI) report directly to the QA Manager to ensure quality compliance by MIS and all subcontractors. MIS contractually enforces the requirement that the QA Plans of each subcontractor and vendor are compliant with giverning requirements and applicable contract requirements.

For each assigned task, a MIS-prepared Work Procedure specifies, in sequential step-by-step detail, the means by which we execute the task defined by a Delivery Order, Task Order or Purchase Order, to ensure the satisfaction of the customer and to be in full compliance with the contract. Each individual Work Procedure is a stand-alone document describing, in time-sequential format, individual work steps and inspection/validation checkpoints. Our Work Procedures include required quality control documents as well as those unique to each deliverable to ensure/verify accuracy and completeness of each task.

We have also developed and implemented a series of Quality Assurance Procedures, Process Control Procedures, and Weld and Braze Procedures that cover the entire spectrum of work. All MIS work practices, material specifications, welding specifications, inspection/record requirements, etc. meet the requirements of Military Standards (MIL-STD) and NAVSEA Technical Publication. Additionally, Process Control Procedures for new tasks and functions are developed as required by specific Delivery Orders, Task Orders and Purchase Orders.

MIS's Process Control Procedures define our methods for performing our general contract support functions and are all approved and in accordance with NAVSEA Standard Items. Examples include, but are not limited to, those for document control; purchasing; control of Government property; material receipt inspection; equipment calibration; inspection and testing; material handling, storage, packaging, preservation and delivery; internal quality audits; control of quality records; welding records; welding and welding training; and visual inspection of piping and structural welds.

In summary, MIS's Quality Assurance Managment Manual, Quality Assurance Procedures, Work Procedures, Process Control Procedures, Test and Inspection Program, and subcontractor control procedures, coupled with our company policy of continuous process improvement and quality-oriented approach, provide the requisite tools and framework to successfully monitor and maximize quality.
