5. Administrative Finance
Property Tracking – track company and customer assets
Accounting – defines overall accounting process
Accounting system – defines process using QuickBooks System
Information Security – Acceptable use of Computer Equipment
Policy
Information Sensitivity
Password
Remote Access
VPN
Wireless Access
Security – defines our security procedures to safeguard classified materials
Security Training and Briefings

6. Engineering (ENG)
This process will define the top level engineering process, discuss process management, development team structure, technical practices, and provide a concurrent engineering implementation guideline.
Project Planning – Plan work/tasks
Project Control – Defines how we manage tasks/project
Peer Review – Internal Reviews
Review – Formal reviews and Audits
Action Items – establishes process for recording, tracking and correcting all items
Measure – Measurement Criteria
Trade – Trade-off Process
Training – Project Training Needs

7. Configuration Management Process (CM)
The Configuration Management process (CM) is referenced from the top level Engineering process (ENG). The process addresses the tasks of Configuration Identification (CI), Configuration Control (CC), Configuration Status Accounting (CSA), and Configuration Audits (CA) and defines what tasks must be performed

8. Hardware Engineering (HW)
The Hardware Development process (HW) is referenced from the top level Engineering process (ENG) and encompasses those activities necessary to perform hardware development and testing including; hardware requirement analysis, preliminary design, detailed design, hardware build, hardware integration and check out, hardware qualification testing and product support.
Preliminary Design
Detailed Design Build
Data Design Prototype – Simulation/Prototyping
Build – Defines activities required throughout process
Build.SAT – Subassemblies processes – ensures subassemblies are ready for use in system
Integration – verifies HW assemblies/subassemblies meet electrical/mechanical requirements
Development Plans and Requirements Analysis – Updates HW development plan generated during proposal
Product Support – supports required changes to product
Qualification Testing – verifies HW Assemblies/subassemblies meet specified requirements

9. System Engineering (SE)
The Systems Engineering process (SE) is referenced from the top level Engineering process (ENG) and governs all systems engineering efforts within Engineering. This process describes tasks to develop, coordinate, support, and report on the system-wide technical aspects of projects performed within the Engineering organization
System Engineering Plan
System Design – system analysis
System Integration
Technical coordination
Requirements
Requirements Traceability Matrix (Reference)
Verification – verifies system level requirements

10. Software Development Process (SW)
The Software Development process (SW) is referenced from the top level Engineering process (ENG) encompasses those activities necessary to perform software development and testing including; software requirement analysis, architectural design, detailed design, coding, software component testing, software integration and testing, and software qualification testing.

11. Quality Assurance
The Quality Assurance process (QA) defines our polices for ensuring quality products and services are provided to our customers.
Ethics Policy - The purpose for this ethics policy is to establish a culture of openness, trust and integrity in business practices
Quality Program Software Design/ Development Phase - process by which software products and activities are evaluated for compliance to project plans and contractual requirements and the results reported to the appropriate management.
