PROJECT QUALITY MANAGEMENT is a method for ensuring that all the activities necessary to design, develop and implement a product or service are effective and efficient with respect to the system and its performance
In construction engineering and manufacturing, quality control and quality engineering are involved in developing systems to ensure products or services are designed and produced to meet or exceed customer requirements. These systems are often developed in conjunction with other business and engineering disciplines using a cross-functional approach.
refers to planned and systematic production processes that provide confidence in a product's suitability for its intended purpose. It is a set of activities intended to ensure that products (goods and/or services) satisfy customer requirements in a systematic, reliable fashion
These cover product improvement, process improvement and people based improvement.

QUALITY?
The common element of the business definitions is that the quality of a product or service refers to the perception of the degree to which the product or service meets the customer's expectations: Quality has no specific meaning unless related to a specific function and/or object Quality is a perceptual, conditional and somewhat subjective attribute
Business has tried to define quality in a producer-consumer context, with the following variations:
ISO 9000: "Degree to which a set of inherent characteristic fulfills requirements." The standard defines requirement as need or expectation.
Business has tried to define quality in a producer-consumer context, with the following variations: Six Sigma: "Number of defects per million opportunities." The metric is tied in with a methodology and a management system.
Business has tried to define quality in a producer-consumer context, with the following variations:
Philip B. Crosby: "Conformance to requirements." The difficulty with this is that the requirements may not fully represent customer expectations; Crosby treats this as a separate problem.
Business has tried to define quality in a producer-consumer context, with the following variations:
Joseph M. Juran: "Fitness for use." Fitness is defined by the customer. Noriaki Kano presenting a two-dimensional model of quality: "must-be quality" and "attractive quality." The former is near to the "fitness for use" and the latter is what the customer would love, but has not yet thought about.
"Uniformity around a target value." The idea is to lower the standard deviation in outcomes, and to keep the range of outcomes to a certain number of standard deviations, with rare exceptions. "The loss a product imposes on society after it is shipped." This definition of quality is based on a more comprehensive view of the production system.
a subjective term for which each person has his or her own definition. In technical usage, quality can have two meanings: the characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs; a product or service free of deficiencies.
Peter Drucker: "Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for."
Quality Concepts
For Design
*Aesthetics (good design taste) *Functionality (design does what it is intended to: meet building code requirements) *Safety (safe for occupiers; meet building code requirements) * Cost (within clients budget)
Quality Concepts
For Construction Workmanship (quality of constructed
work) Integrity (according to drawings and specifications) Completion time in the project according to clients requirements
Quality Concepts
Zero Defects states that there is no tolerance for errors within the system. The goal of all processes is to avoid defects in the product or service
based on providing the internal organization a system that ensures the product or service is transferred to the next person in the process in a complete and correct manner
Quality Concepts
Continuous Improvement Process is a holistic approach to an organization that focuses on principles while making the process improvements Process Capability in evaluating the processes which will be used to produce a system, it is essential that the process be capable of performing the required functions to achieve the desire outcome.
Prevention Cost cost to plan and execute a project so that it will be error free. Some areas of prevention cost include planning of the scope, budget, performance and duration to meet customer requirements. (i Training, ii. Process capabilities studies, iii. Surveys of vendors/suppliers, iv. Surveys of subcontractors) Appraisal Cost- cost of evaluating the processes and the output of the process to ensure the product is error free. ( inspection and testing of products, maintenance ad test equipment, cost to process and report inspection data)
b)
Internal Failure Cost cost incurred to correct an identified defect before the customer receives the product. (scrap and rework, inventory costs) External Failure Cost relates to all errors not detected and corrected before delivery to the customer. (warranty cost, product liability) Measurement and Test Equipment capital cost of equipment used to perform prevention and appraisal activities.

HOW TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY IN THE WORK PLACE TO ACHIEVE TOTAL QUALITY ON PROJECTS?
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY
Motivation of Employees
Motivational Theories
Theory X - People are lazy by nature; dislike work & will avoid it whenever possible - They must be coerced, controlled and threatened with punishment in order to work. - They lack ambition and seek mainly security. - They avoid responsibility
Theory Y - Work is as natural to man as play & rest. - People are capable of self direction to objectives they are committed. - People will even seek responsibility given proper rewards. - Many people are creative, ingenious & imaginative but these intellectual potentialities are utilized only partially in most organizations.
Chronological-Psychological Age
Physiological Need for air, water, food, warmth, sleep,sex & basic bodily satisfactions Safety-Security Freedom from actual danger & need for assurance of continued well being. Belonging-Love-social Need to give & receive attention, love & affection. Ego-Esteem Need for the respect & recognition of others Existential, Self-Actualization The need to become all that one is becoming.
These models are used in the construction industry FOCUSED ON MOTIVATION, EMPLOYEE NEEDS AND INCENTIVES
Motivation
The
set of processes that determine the choices people make about their behaviours It imparts incentives that require a response on part of someone else of achieve a defined goal
Motivation
In
business, motivation is not synonymous with salaries; money is a means for accommodating the economic needs of workers
Motivation means
an inner wholesome desire to exert effort without the external stimulus money
Context of MOTIVATING
It is the ability of indoctrinating the personnel with a unity of purpose and maintaining a continuing, harmonious relationship among all people. A force which encourages and promotes a willingness of every employee to cooperate with every member of the team
End of Presentation
implementation of quality management and the guidelines are designed to encourage and assist:
the management of projects and
contracts by all customers and service providers to consistently achieve the required outcomes; a better customer service approach by service providers;
specifying, and service providers in providing/implementing, Quality Management Systems, Quality Management Plans (including design plans), and Inspection and Test Plans, and in monitoring their implementation.
1. Customer Satisfaction
Understanding, evaluating, defining, and managing expectations so that customer requirements are met: Conformance to requirements Fitness for use
Build quality in vs Inspect quality in The cost of preventing mistakes is generally much less than the cost of correcting them, as revealed by inspection/assessment
3) Management Responsibility
Success requires the participation of all members of the team, but management is responsible to provide the resources to succeed.
4. Continuous Improvement
The plan-do-checkact cycle is the basis for quality improvement. Quality improvement initiatives can improve the quality of project management as well as the quality of the product.

Construction Project Quality Management must address both the management of the project and the product of the project. Failure to meet quality requirements in either dimension can have serious negative consequence for any or all of the project stakeholders
Often times the phrase quality assurance is mis-used and misunderstood To avoid any confusion, the following table can be utilized as a tool to assess if you have a quality assurance program.
A good quality assurance system in the construction will: Identify objectives and standards Be multifunctional and prevention oriented Plan for collection and use data in a cycle of continuous improvement Plan for the establishment of and maintenance of performance measure
Quality assurance is about being in control of all major areas of your business (key processes) so that you can assure quality. Being in control also reduces variation, which improves quality. Control and variation reduction is accomplished using various methods.
Act:
Act upon the results by implementing CAPA & conducting Management Reviews.
Do: Work
systematically by following your procedures.
Quality Assurance have a little value if the systematic methods were not properly managed that includes:
Quality Assurance have a little value if the systematic methods were not properly managed that includes:
Non-conformance Tracking: To monitor and track quality issues to ensure that defects are kept from your customer CAPA (corrective action and preventative action): To correct flawed processes (i.e. qualityprocedures) when detected via audits and non-conformance tracking to prevent defects from reoccurring.
Quality Assurance have a little value if the systematic methods were not properly managed that includes:
Management Review: Reviewing quality system data (performance) (quality metrics) to determine if the quality system is working and if it is not, taking the appropriate action to improve the system.
Numerical Data
Control and variation reduction is established by statistically evaluating the process capability and then controlling the process via process control charts using SPC (statistical process control).
Non-Numerical Data
Control and
variation is also reduced by instituting systematic methods (i.e. quality procedures). also referred to as systematizing, standardizing, or proceduralizing your key business processes.

To be effective, a quality assurance program designed for construction must be streamlined, user-friendly, not overlyburdensome, and geared for the intended audience. In addition, it must strike the right balance between added cost and added value.
Unfortunately, the only quality assurance standard that is currently available to the construction industry is the ISO 9000 quality system, which is well known due to high levels of publicity
This standard has for the most part been completely ignored by the construction industry in the U.S. as only 42 construction companies are certified.

Due to the lack of a basic construction quality assurance program for the construction industry, a construction contractor, quality system audit checklist was developed to assess a construction contractors quality system. The checklist was developed utilizing the following steps: 1) Using the ISO 9000: 1994 standard as a guide. 2) Stripping those elements from the standard that are not essential to construction. 3) Adding quality elements that are unique to construction.
It is a process of diagnosis and cure. As the facility is erected and commissioned it is checked against the specification to ensure that it is of the required standard, and any variance are eliminated. The activities by which this is done must be (a) planned, (b) tested, ( c) recorded and, (d) analysed.
Planned: quality control consumes resources, and so activities must be planned so that those resources are allowed for in the projects estimated and are available to conduct the tests at the right time
Tested: it must be known that the method of checking the specification will highlight variances
Recorded: the results must be recorded to provide a historical record for planning future projects, and to be able to analyse trends
Analysed: the results must be analysed to determine the cause of any variance so it can be eliminated and the analysis of trends can indicate potential problems before they occur.

Control Charts
The control chart is a graph used to study how a process changes over time. Data are plotted in time order. A control chart always has a central line for the average, an upper line for the upper control limit and a lower line for the lower control limit. These lines are determined from historical data. By comparing current data to these lines, you can draw conclusions about whether the process variation is consistent (in control) or is unpredictable (out of control, affected by special causes of variation). Control charts for variable data are used in pairs. The top chart monitors the average, or the centering of the distribution of data from the process. The bottom chart monitors the range, or the width of the distribution. If your data were shots in target practice, the average is where the shots are clustering, and the range is how tightly they are clustered. Control charts for attribute data are used singly.
When controlling ongoing processes by finding and correcting problems as they occur. When predicting the expected range of outcomes from a process. When determining whether a process is stable (in statistical control). When analyzing patterns of process variation from special causes (non-routine events) or common causes (built into the process). When determining whether your quality improvement project should aim to prevent specific problems or to make fundamental changes to the process
Improving Quality
Four-Step Approach to Quality Improvement. 1) Early QI efforts assumed that improvements could be readily attained by adding new or more things, such as new machines, procedures, training, or supplies 2) It was believed that simply adding more resources or inputs would improve quality 3) People working to improve quality learned that increasing resources does not always ensure their efficient use and, consequently, may not lead to improvements in quality.
1) Identify
The goal of the first step, identify, is to determine what to improve. This may involve a problem that needs a solution, an opportunity for improvement that requires definition, or a process or system that needs to be improved. Examples of problems or processes that are commonly identified include low coverage, inadequate counseling, lack of drugs, lost lab reports, and excessive waiting time.
1) Identify
This first step involves recognizing an opportunity for improvement and then setting a goal to improve it. Quality improvement starts by asking these questions: What is the problem? How do you know that it is a problem? How frequently does it occur, or how long has it existed? What are the effects of this problem? How will we know when it is resolved?

Case Study
The Utility Operations organization of the construction company received a new heavy equipments. It is the latest technology and will replace its twenty five (25) year old model. It uses computerized controls vs manual in the old system. There has been very little turnover in the utility staff over the last 30 year and most operators are not familiar with computerized applications. Managements expectations are that the new system will be more efficient, come on line quicker than the old system and last longer. The team has been asked to write a procedure and develop training to ensure the expectations are met. Question: How would you apply the three steps of quality management?

QUALITY
Developing a Quality Management System The scope and extent of documentation in a service provider's Quality Management System will depend on the products and services delivered by the service provider and the particular customer requirements, including those of the agencies with which they wish to work. Service providers must allocate resources, including personnel with sufficient knowledge, skills and experience in quality management, and have corporate procedures for developing, implementing and maintaining their Quality Management System, Quality Management Plans, and Inspection and Test Plans, as applicable, and to monitor their effective implementation with contracts. Service providers that purchase or subcontract products and/or services would ensure each customers quality requirements are reflected in the applicable purchase or subcontract documents. 5.1.2 Addressing agency requirements Service providers interested in tendering for agency contracts must address the applicable agency

VALUE ENGINEERING
- is a creative systematized approach whose objective is to seek out the best functional balance between cost, reliability and performance of a project - utilizes a functional analysis that modifies or delete elements that add to the cost of the project without contributing to its required functions
Value Engineering is a technique that is used to identify poor value functions and identify ideas for lower cost, higher value alternatives. It allows the creative generation of solutions to specific functionality problems, without reducing the scope of the process.

One of the techniques of Value Engineering is asking a series of penetrating questions about a system or process.
What is it? What does it do? What does it cost? What is it worth? What is needed to Implement the alternative? What else might do the job? What do the alternatives cost? Which alternative is least expensive? Will the alternative meet the requirements?
Materials
Machine
Value Engineering
Manpower
Methods
Value engineering is not cost cutting but defining properly the function of work, activity and resources
The main differences between value engineering and cost cutting are summarised as follows: Value Engineering Cost Cutting It is Focus Results Optimises Clarifies Function based Poor value functions Increased value Overall design Equipment/material based Big cost items Scope reduction Local design
Alternatives
The Value Engineering generates, examines, and refines creative alternatives toward the concept of producing an end product that produces high customer acceptance. The process endeavors to widen the number and scope of the available alternatives. This is done to increase the potential for enhanced satisfaction, and take advantage of the added expertise brought into the studied activity through the value study process.
Value
The true value of a activity or product is its relationship to its perceived worth as opposed to its life-cycle costs. In Value Engineering terms: Value = Worth / Cost. When an item has a Value greater than 1.0, the item is perceived to be a fair or good value. When an item has a Value is less than 1.0, the item is perceived to be a poor value or bad value. When the perceived worth far exceeds the life-cycle cost, we usually consider purchasing the item.
Worth
The worth of a product involves many features. The most common cited are: benefits received, services obtained, satisfaction of the product performance, quality, safety, and convenience. The worth of the product is a measure of what is in it for the customers involved. It is a measure of how well the end product meets the involved essential needs and the added desires of those that have a voice in the product selection or its use. An end product must always supply the essential need, or its worth will be poor
Life-Cycle Costs
T
The true cost of an item is not just the amount of money that you pay when you buy it. Much more is involved. When you buy something, you also buy its long-term effects. The initial costs plus these long-term costs are called life-cycle costs. This includes things like the time involved to get the project done, the people needed (number, expertise and so on), the degree of difficulty involved, availability of money or other resources, the amount of maintenance needed, and the money that must be expended and kept in reserve.
