Quality Assurance
Columbus is dedicated to exceptional performance and fair and ethical treatment of employees, customers, subcontractors, and suppliers. We take pride in our relationships and provide incentives for our employees to fully participate in applying our philosophy to all activities.  Columbus management promotes, expects, and rewards the highest standards of performance.

At Columbus our Quality Program begins with doing things right the first time.  To that end we provide comprehensive training, and we adhere to all applicable standards and processes for the work being performed.  Columbus practices continuous process improvement, and has ongoing programs for certification in ISO 9000 and CMMI.

Columbus management, from the CEO to individual Program Managers, commits to delivering products and services that meet or exceed their specified requirements, on time, and within budget.  Columbus implements quality assurance at corporate and program levels, and incorporates customer assessments and Columbus responses into our quality plans.

The principal elements of the Columbus QA Policy are:
  • Evaluation of activities and products against applicable processes
  • Communication of quality issues with all stakeholders, and follow-through on resolutions
  • Recording of all QA activities.
  • Development of detailed contract QA Plan, to include processes, resources, stakeholders, monitoring, auditing, and escalation.
