Commitment to Quality
At DCS Corp, we believe that quality is the key to ensuring that our work and the solutions we provide customers will stand the test of time. We take a long view of our work and of our corporate growth. We don’t cut corners for the sake of expediency or to achieve some perceived short-term gain. We want to do the job right and we have developed tools and sought independent verification of our work to ensure that we are delivering the best quality results.
We developed a Quality Management System (QMS) internally to ensure that managers and process owners within each business area continually improve service to our customers. We understand that quality initiatives improve our business operations, drive down costs, and add long-term company value for our employee-owners. The QMS was initially registered to the ISO 9001:2000 standard in March of 2006. From 2006 to early in 2009, our executive team refined, strengthened, and expanded the scope of the QMS and our ISO registration across the company. Early in 2009, the QMS was reregistered to the ISO 9001:2008 standard. Today, over 90% of DCS employees work at or are managed from DCS facilities that have received ISO 9001:2008 registration. We continue our pursuit of business excellence and plan to expand the scope of registration to include all DCS facilities.
We strive to validate our service to customers from both direct feedback and through assessments of our expertise provided by third-parties. DCS’s Decision Support Division achieved a Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Maturity Level 3 Rating, which confirms DCS’s process capabilities to consistently support Department of Defense customers in all aspects of software product development.
Our focus on quality extends to the classified material that we are entrusted with. DCS Corp has been the recipient of multiple DSS Cogswell Awards. This award is prestigious and won by fewer than 2% of all government contractors, recognizing our dedication to safeguarding classified information.
In addition to the quality initiatives that provide a direct benefit to our customers, we strive for quality in our internal processes and procedures for the benefit of our employee-owners. Our management team maintains an open-door policy that allows employee-owners to address concerns that may arise in a constructive and responsive environment.
