The ALATEC Team  The ALATEC Team includes ALATEC, Inc and ARINC, Inc with capabilities as shown in the figure above and as described below.  Quality Management ALATEC uses Lean-6 Sigma quality management and quality control processes and is an ISO 9001:2008 certified compliant company. Most quality planning activities occur prior to project execution while quality assurance and quality control happen throughout the lifecycle.  However, we use quality planning periodically during execution to provide for project execution changes from the initial plan or when quality assurance or quality control activities unveil needs for quality program tailoring.  This enables us to ensure constant improvement and reliability of the quality program. The guiding principles for the Quality Management Process are to enable execution of ALATEC's Quality Policy goal, which is: To meet or exceed customer expectations in quality, on-time delivery and cost of services. To attain this goal, our Quality Management Process involves these three elements: Quality Planning. In the planning stage, we identify requirements, determine quality methods and metrics, and determine how best to measure satisfaction of program requirements.  In this step, we build quality into the project design, ensuring quality integration into the solution. Quality Assurance. Our quality managers ensure the quality plan is being executed and that metrics are being taken. Quality Control. We monitor the metrics to ensure we are meeting program requirement satisfactions goals. Using our Quality Management Process, ALATEC focuses on building quality into the plan to ensure integration of quality into the management and execution.  This includes integration of quality assurance checks and quality control metrics reviews throughout the process.  Through monitoring quality metrics, we adjust exectuion processes to ensure continuous process improvement.  We focus on building quality into the product.

The functional area involves the use of models, including emulators, prototypes, simulators, and stimulators, either statically or over time, to develop data as a basis for making managerial, technical, strategic, or tactical decisions. 4. Prototyping, Pre-Production, Model-Making, and Fabrication Support This functional area consists of the building, fabrication, testing, evaluating and operating reduced and full scale models, mock-ups, prototypes, pre-production units and research and development (R&D) test tools of electronic and electro-mechanical systems and system elements. Fabrication and machining of replacement parts or equipments for fielded systems or platforms is included. Includes the use of traditional materials as well as new composite materials. 5. System Design Documentation and Technical Data Support This functional area involves the engineering effort required to prepare and assure that the detailed technical data documentation that is necessary to support system development reflects the latest design, configuration, integration, and installation concepts. Technical documentation may be in the form of paper, electronic (digital) or interactive computer systems. 6. Software Engineering, Development, Programming, and Network Support This functional area consists of applying the engineering and scientific disciplines to perform technical analysis of, technically support development of or selection of hardware and computer software, or modification to existing hardware and software for systems, test facilities, or training facilities. This also consists of software engineering efforts and programming support required to technically support software implementation in systems, sub-systems, and components utilizing computers, electronics, and software. Planning, designing, coding, testing, integrating, supporting, and delivering algorithms, software (source code and executables), computer programs are the inherent activities of this functional area. Generally, the software development processes used for software development under this contract shall be, as a minimum, assessed at Software Engineering Institute (SEl) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Level 3 or equivalent, however the Government may specify other (either lower or higher) standards in individual task orders issued under the contract. 7. Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RM&A) Support This functional area consists of applying engineering, scientific, and analytical disciplines to ensure that systems and platforms RM&A requirements are integrated with the system design, development and life cycle sustainment resulting in warfighting capabilities that function effectively when required and that detection and correction of design deficiencies, weak parts, and workmanship defects that affect functionality are implemented. 8. Human Factors, Performance, and Usability Engineering Support This functional area consists of applying engineering, scientific, and analytical disciplines to ensure that design of interactive systems are safer, more secure and easier to use thereby reducing accidents due to human error, increasing system integrity and enabling more efficient process operations, This functional area also includes applying engineering, scientific, and analytical disciplines to ensure that the number, type, mix, knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), aptitudes and physical characteristics of operators, maintainers and support personnel have been defined and documented early in the system design phase. 12.
