Abstract
The Department of Defense (DoD) Acquisition Management Framework is a complex compendium of processes governed by multiple statutory and regulatory sources. Initiating strategic quality into this framework requires a comprehensive review of where risk is most prevalent. It requires a detailed approach in all processes and will only be successful when implemented and supervised throughout. In this paper, we will outline the challenges of Strategic Quality Management within the DoD Acquisition Framework and help define entry points where it will be most effective.
