Key methodologies for performance monitoring include surveillance techniques, customer feedback mechanisms, and adherence to acceptable quality levels (AQLs). The QASP promotes a performance-based approach, allowing contractors some flexibility in operations as long as performance outcomes are met. It emphasizes the importance of customer satisfaction as a key performance indicator and provides a structured process for addressing complaints and quality discrepancies through established monitoring forms. Overall, this QASP ensures that the Puerto Rico Air National Guard only pays for the level of service received while encouraging contractor accountability and continuous improvement throughout the contract period.
