Quality Assurance Program
Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) is an integral part of Avanti’s project management. Our data, analyses, and assessments are only as good as the quality standards we hold ourselves to at a company level. By including QA/QC as a vital part of the company's corporate organization, Avanti assures our clients that our commitment to quality management principles and practices is demonstrated in every project we undertake. It is important to us that our clients have confidence in the data and analyses we provide.
Authority and responsibility for directing and managing the corporation’s QA Program ultimately reside in the President of Avanti. She oversees development and revision of the corporate Quality Management Plan and assures clients of its complete and consistent implementation. Her position as President of Avanti assures our clients that quality management is afforded the highest level of attention at Avanti. It is a consideration in all corporate decisions and resource allocations.
Avanti’s President has designated a Quality Assurance Officer (QAO) with responsibility for implementing the QA Program in accordance with standards mandated by the Plan. The QAO is the primary contact for all quality assurance matters within Avanti Corporation and reports directly to her. Avanti’s Corporate QMP addresses the processes used to plan, implement, and assess all work performed by the company.
Each Avanti project has written standard operating procedures (SOPs) for routinely used procedures, methods, and techniques. Existing, applicable SOPs are filed with the QAO and may be cited in lieu of writing new ones specifically for a project. SOPs are written in document control format, describe the procedure (or cite and attach a copy of the document that describes it), identify in the QA section the pertinent QC methods and outputs, and list the pertinent references that form the basis of the SOP. The SOP should contain sufficient detail to permit easy use and understanding by other staff who may require use of the methodology. SOPs are reviewed whenever they undergo significant change. The SOP is reviewed by the Project Manager for relevance, content and currency, and by the QAO for clarity; both sign and date the title page. A copy is filed in the QAO’s central file of SOPs. A list of all SOPs on file, including the latest version number and date, is distributed to Project Managers for their use and distribution to their staff as needed. Changes are noted so that obsolete SOPs can be discarded and replaced with updated versions.
Corrective Action Reports are prepared on an event-triggered basis and include the following: statement of the QC problem, what caused the problem, how the problem was solved, and the present status of this aspect of QC. These reports are sent through the applicable Project Manager and QAO to the President. A copy, signed and dated by the Project Manager and QAO, is provided to each person on the project.
Investigators for all projects are required to produce and deliver a final quality control evaluation report to the Program Manager. The final report must be accompanied by a certification that the QA procedures detailed in the QAPP (give date and revision number) were followed. This certifying QA statement must be signed by the senior author with the concurrence of the QAO.
