In the Quality Management world it is used a terminology that seems similar to the one we use in our daily language. However, there are several concepts that have nuances in its meaning, those nuances make them different to what we intuitively understand. It is important to review them first.
Object: something perceivable or conceivable. Process: set of activities interrelated that uses resources in order to change one objet into another. Procedure: specific way of performing activities. It can be written or not. Register: document that brings objective evidence about the performed activities and the obtained results.
Product: Process result. Services are considered as non touchable products. Client: the one who receives a product Supplier: the one who provides a product

Quality definitions: Philip Crosby: Quality is the fulfilling of requirements Armand V. Feigenbaum: Satisfaction in the clients needs ISO 9000: The ability of a set of intrinsic characteristics to satisfy requirements
Requirements: Needs or expectations. They can be explicit or implicit and must be identified during the project requirement development process
7
Quality problem: It is produced when the full requirement satisfaction is not achieved Non conformity: Non compliance with a requirement Defect: Non compliance with a requirement associated with a planned use Defects and non conformities are not the same. There is a very important difference because of legal implications: responsibility of products
8
Corrective action: Action taken in order to eliminate an existing non conformity origin Preventive action: Action taken in order to eliminate a potential non conformity origin
Efficacy: Extension in what the planned activities are performed or planned targets are achieved (effectiveness) Efficiency: Ratio between the achieved results and the used resources Improvement action: Action taken in order to improve the efficacy and efficiency

Identify quality rules relevant for the project, and how to achieve them Must be done during the project planning phase, and can influence the rest of the planning activities For Quality Planning it must be taken into account:
External factors Internal factors Project scope statement Project management plan

Cost/benefit analysis
Cost: Quality Management costs Benefit: less reprocess less cost more productivity more stakeholders satisfaction Cost of Quality: total quality cost, management plus reprocess costs

Root cause analysis (Ishikawa diagram) Control diagrams Flux diagrams Histograms Pareto diagrams Dispersion diagram Statistic sampling Inspection
33
Root cause analysis (Ishikawa diagram): it shows how different factors/causes can be linked to problems/effects
34
Control diagrams: they show the steadiness of the process. Normally used for repetitive activities (e.g. production lots)
35
Flux diagrams: graphical representation of a process. They help to analyze how problems can be created.
36
Histograms: they show variables distribution. It helps to identify the problem causes by the shape and width of the distribution
37
Pareto diagrams: Specific histogram ordered by frequency, to guide the corrective actions. Also called 80/20 (80% of problems coming from 20% of causes Paretos law

39
Statistic sampling: Choose a part of the population for inspection. Inspection: Product or work exam, to check its compliance with the rules. They can be made at all levels:
