Quality Control Plans
Quality Control Plans, developed within the framework of the QMS Manual, are also utilized to define how the quality system requirements and customer requirements are to be met for specific projects or deliverables. Quality Control Plans are tailored to the needs of the customer. They specify the applicable processes of the QMS and the resources to be applied to a specific product, project, or contract. They are designed around the results or performance objectives of the customer requirements and are used to verify the quality of products and services and to determine success in meeting the specified contract requirements. They help facilitate a common understanding of specific requirements and lay the groundwork for a strong business relationship between customer and contractor. The scope, depth and detail of quality control plans are appropriate to the effects, or potential effects, of not meeting customer requirements. When Dell Perot Systems outsources any process that affects conformity with requirements, we verify that adequate controls are invoked and agreed to by the subcontractor. Subcontractors are considered "extensions" of Dell Perot Systems Government Services. As such, we recognize the importance of controlling quality, efficiency, safety and cost.
