How Q-Star™ helps Program Managers

The clear line of authority from the Defense Acquisition Executive empowers Program Managers to be customer-focused and provide the user with the best, most cost-effective systems and capabilities.

Being candid about program status, including risks and problems as well as potential solutions and likely outcomes requires a Program Manager to innovate, collaborate, and strive for optimal solutions.  Q-Star™ is the knowledge-sharing forum useable by all program team members: Acquisition, Technology, Engineering, and Logistics.

Q-Star™ is the mission-critical application that assists Program Managers to plan, develop, implement, and manage a comprehensive, affordable, and effective systems support strategy, within Total Life Cycle Systems Management.

With Q-Star™, Program Managers can: 

  • Influence product design for affordable System Operational Effectiveness 
  • Design and develop the support system utilizing Performance Based Logistics 
  • Acquire and concurrently deploy the supportable system, including support infrastructure 
  • Maintain/improve readiness, improve affordability, and minimize logistics footprint

And be consistent with sound business practice and with the overall political, economic, technological, and national security goals of the United States.
Q-Star™ enables Program Managers to review and develop action plans for the electronic component issues that affect program/product development, production, delivery schedules, and sustainment capabilities.
