ORNL AMMT QA Procedures
Strata-G developed and implemented the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMT) Quality Assurance (QA) Program to ensure research excellence and regulatory compliance. In support of the AMMT 2022 Roadmap at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), our team identified critical research needs, challenges, and emerging opportunities in advanced materials and manufacturing. Strata-G outlined strategic research priorities and translated them into a detailed five-year plan designed to uphold the program’s mission and vision, strengthening long-term research capabilities and guiding investments in innovation. This effort provided ORNL with a structured framework to advance cutting-edge technologies while maintaining the highest standards of quality and accountability.
