QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN FOR WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to provide an effective surveillance method of monitoring employees performance for each objective within the window cleaning contract.

The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the services the contractor is required to furnish.

The contractor (The Solar Group Inc.) is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract.

In the service (window cleaning) contract, the quality control program is the driver for product quality. We have developed a comprehensive program of inspections and monitoring actions. The first major step to ensuring a "self-correcting" contract is to ensure that the quality control program provides the measures needed to lead Solar Group to success; and this is what is reflected in the following plan:

SURVEILLANCE:
The quality assurance (QA) person — the Supervisor - will receive complaints from base personnel and pass them to the quality control Manager in charge with that particular site, for correction.

STANDARD:
Two (2) customer complaints are permitted each month. If more than 2 customer complaints are received, the QA person shall notify the President for appropriate action.

PROCEDURES:
Any base employee that observes unacceptable services, either incomplete or not performed, for any of the above performance objectives should immediately contact the QA and the QA will complete appropriate documentation to record the complaint. The QA will consider the customer complaint valid upon receipt from the customer. The QA should inform the customer of the approximate time the unacceptable performance will be corrected and advise the customer to contact the QA if not corrected. The QA will consider customer complaints as resolved unless notified otherwise by the customer. The QA shall verbally notify the Quality Control Person (QCP) — the President — about the event. The QA will be given one day after verbal notification to correct the unacceptable performance. If the QA disagrees with the complaint after investigation of the site and challenges the validity of the complaint, the QA will notify the QCP. The QA will conduct an investigation to determine the validity of the complaint. If the QA determines the complaint as invalid, he will document the written complaint of the findings and notify the customer. The QA will retain the annotated copy of the written complaint for the file. If after investigation the QA determines the complaint as valid, the QA will inform the QCP and the QCP will be given an additional day to correct the defect. A defect will not be recorded if proper and timely correction of the unacceptable condition(s) is accomplished. The QCP shall return the written customer complaint document, properly completed with actions taken, to the QA, who will file the complaint for monitoring future recurring performance.
