AMERICAN SYSTEMS applies consistent and proven systems engineering principles and management processes to ensure that project acquisition management enhances business practices, emphasizes evolutionary acquisition, and streamlines and increases flexibility.  We begin the process by gaining a complete understanding of customer requirements and then building execution plans to meet those requirements.  We emphasize developing and maintaining integrated schedules and concurrently tracking assigned actions to assist with action closure, risk mitigation, and cost management.  We recognize that defining critical milestones and the associated entry and exit criteria establish the benchmarks for success.  AMERICAN SYSTEMS recognizes and promotes performance-based acquisitions, integrated logistics, and other acquisition reform concepts as integral components in defining and implementing acquisition programs that best meet your technical, schedule, and financial objectives.
