for construction projects, quality control

means making sure things are done according

to the plans, specifications, and permit

requirements.

a collection of business processes focused onachieving quality policy and quality objectivesto meet customer requirements. It isexpressed as the organizational structure,policies, procedures, processes and resourcesneeded to implement quality management.

a subset of project management that includesthe processes required to ensure that theproject will satisfy the needs for which it wasundertaken.” It consists of quality planning,quality assurance, and quality control.

the purpose of Quality Management Plan is toensure that the project will satisfy the needsfor which it was undertaken. It is includes “allactivities of the overall management functionthat determine the quality policy, qualitystandards, and responsibilities andimplements them by means such as qualityplanning, quality control, quality assuranceand quality improvement.”

The Project quality management activities areplanned.

The Project defines measurable qualitystandards and their priorities for the project.

The Project progress in achieving the qualitystandards is quantified and managed.

Identifying and/or verifying quality standardsthat are relevant to the project and determininghow to satisfy them. It will involve review oforganizational policy, the complexity anduniqueness of the project, and quality templatesto identify quality standards and measurementsthat are relevant to the project, and if notincorporated will result in low quality resultscreating significant risk to the project. Also itinvolves determining how to satisfy each qualitystandard via the project schedule, resourcing andinternal procedures.

Monitoring specific project results and deliverables to determine if they comply with relevant quality standards and identifying ways to eliminate causes of unsatisfactory performance.

Assessment – review of key project documentation (i.e., business requirements, technical documentation, management plans, budgets and project reports) and interviews with key business and technical staff.

Peer Review – a methodical examination of work products by the producer’s peers to identify defects and other needed changes. Examples of Peer Review methods include inspections, structured walkthroughs, and active reviews.

Software Testing - verification that the products of each software life-cycle phase satisfy the standards, practices, and requirements for correctness, completeness, consistency, and accuracy.

Periodic executive review and evaluation of the overall project performance to provide confidence that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards.

It includes evaluating, identifying, and recommending adjustments to the activities or tasks (and associated resources) that must be performed in the project to provide confidence that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards.

Contract for a third party contractor – it will oversight to work with the project to further develop the Quality Management Plan and determine the appropriate quality assurance activities and activity estimates, and conduct the quality assurance. The standard Quality Management Statement of Work and other associated materials will be used to define the specific contract expectations.

Implement Quality Management, based on the complexity and need of the project as part of the overall work of the project as described in this document. This will include a combination of responsibilities by the project team and others to ensure quality in the process and products.

This includes the selection of applicable process andproduct quality standards for the project. TheContractor/Project Developer or Owner’s QualityStandards was used and modified as follows toidentify the specific quality standards for the project:

1. Identified only those process and product qualitystandards, risk cues or measurements appropriatefor the project based on the project’s currentbusiness and technical complexity assessment.

2. Added additional quality standards based on thistype of project, current phase of the project, orexpert opinion where the absence of these qualitystandard would present high risk to the project.

3. Eliminated unnecessary quality standardsbased on the project’s business andtechnical complexity assessment or currentphase of the project. However, thefollowing process and quality standardswere not eliminated:

Process Quality Standards

Definition of the project, developmentschedule, delivery commitment, cost controls,budget and resource size, projectmanagement approach

Political influences, organizational stability

Leadership, project management authority,executive involvement

Team productivity, team member availability,user involvement

Product Quality Standards An appropriate, useful, and maintainable set of

requirements An appropriate, useful, and maintainable set of

engineering and design specifications Appropriate, useful, and maintainable code,

utility, object, etc., in construction Appropriate, useful, and maintainable test

planning, test execution, and test corrective actions

The product or application is fit for use Appropriate, thorough and maintainable

implementation

is a tool to ensure that the quality standards are being met on the project.

It includes:

indicating the schedule for review, who is responsible to perform the task and who is responsible to review

indicating if there is a specific review procedure to follow, i.e. a procedure for schedule analysis, code walk-through, peer review, interviews, lessons learned, test methodology

It includes: to verify and record that a set of required inspections

have been performed to indicate that the minimum quality standard has or

has not been met record the measurements identify the expected risk cue or measurement indicate the expected acceptability or tolerance indicate the rank of only the quality standards where

risk was found unacceptable indicate change in risk rank since previous review indicate a reference to which will describe what was

reviewed, who was interviewed, and the information or reasoning that this quality standard causes risk

The assigned QC will review project activities,interview, and inspect specified work productdeliverables throughout the life of the projectto verify compliance and provide the projectmanager, project team and othermanagement with visibility as to whether theproject is adhering to its established plans,process and product quality standards, andassociated quality work tasks.

Here’s some task that conduct by assigned QC:

Reviews (Documents, Witness Testing, Etc.)

Change Requests and Tracking (if the QC hasdoubt of implementing quality standards onsite).

The Quality Auditor will provide overall quality consultation, periodically examine Quality Control Reviews results, checklists, change requests and tracking, and summarize the results for executive review and oversight throughout the life of the project.

The Quality Auditor will periodically create and deliver the QA Status and Improvement Report which at a minimum shall contain the following:

1. Overall risk rank for the project

2. Executive Summary paragraph of the entirereport. It should contain information such as;A brief description the primary achievement inthe last period. A brief description of thehighest ranked primary (if any) quality riskscovered in the following detail of the report. Abrief description of the impact or consequenceof the risk if left unresolved.

3. Summary of the Current Progress Pointsfollowed by major milestones.

4. Brief project effectiveness statements on all thehigh level categories:

where no risks were identified should simply beindicated in one line, for example, Decision Drivers – norisks currently identified, or not evaluated at this time.

which contained a significant risk should briefly describethe risk, describe the factors used to determine the risk,describe the potential impact, indicate the risk severityrating, and provide a recommended resolution strategy.

which contained a significant risk should briefly describe the risk, describe the factors used to determine the risk, describe the potential impact, indicate the risk severity rating, and provide a recommended resolution strategy.

5. Risks Resolved Since Last Period. Provide the previous risk rank, and brief status or the actions taken on risks and results.

to oversee and coordinate the planning, implementation,and supervision of the project quality control plan. Thisincludes working with employees as well as outsideagencies or consultants involved in inspections andtesting.

are responsible for ensuring that all quality control tasksare carried out, documenting the construction process andinspecting each stage of construction. It must also workdirectly with other managers to ensure that all projectsmeet the minimum standards of quality set forth by thecompany. They must balance quality control standards,productivity and scheduling demands.

Responsible to raise a recommendation to HRD for apenalty due to the personnel or construction project in-charge is not implement the quality standards (ex. Poorworkmanship, unquestionable test records, etc.)

is designed to ensure the success of quality programme at project level.

Types:• Individual PQP - is normally prepared by the Project

Manager and the Site Quality Co-ordinator.

• Integrated PQP – prepared by Managers including other departments (designers, purchasing, marketing, legal, etc.)
