SECTION 8 OPERATIONS

8.1 Operational planning and control

CMC has determined the processes needed to fill customers' requirements. The processes are consistent with the
requirements of this manual, the 1SO 9001:2015 standard and our QMS documentation.

This planning includes defining customer objectives and requirements for the products during our contract review
process and then embedding them within our Project Specific Quality Plan.

Each project is unique; contractual requirements on the product quality, documentation, progress reporting, HSE
requirements vary from Client to Client. Project specific quality requirements are therefore incorporated into the
Project Quality Plan for all major projects and/or as per Client's specific requirements. For all other projects, all the
contractual requirements are satisfied with CMCs QMS without any further elaborated documentation. All projects
are executed strictly in accordance with the contract, specifications, drawings and any other project specific
requirements.

Planning for product realization (Construction and Facility Management) is done at the start of each project and
includes the following items:

Quality Objectives and Requirements for the product: contractual Requirements of quality, time of
completion, etc
Need for additional documentation of processes, procedures, method statements, reporting formats
Provision of Resources - Human, Plant and Equipment, Infrastructure and Work Environment
Required Verification, Validation, Monitoring, Inspection and Test Activities- generally achieved by
documenting design validation/verification requirements and the Inspection and Test Plan which
includes acceptance criteria

Records needed to provide evidence that the realization processes and resulting product meet requirements is
identified in the individual procedures and the quality plan.

Refer Project Quality Plans, Inspection and Test plans, and Project Schedules, Project Management, Quality
Control & HSE Management Procedures for more details.

specifications, schedules, relevant computation, etc

These outputs will be checked by our Design Department during the design review to :

Ensure that they meet input requirements


Ensure that these are appropriate for the construction including procurement, inspection & testing and
acceptance criteria
Ensure that any safety issues connected with performance are specified

Design and development outputs will be available at each stage of design processes such as at concept design
stage, design development stage and detailed design stage. Design Department will ensure these outputs are
suitable to enable verification against the inputs and are approved by Client and Authorities prior to its release.

8.3.4 Design and Development Review

At planned stages, CMC reviews the design and development process to ensure design works are progressing as
planned, to evaluate ability of the design process to meet requirements, to evaluate results of changes and
subsequent actions and to identify any problems and propose necessary corrective actions. Reviews are carried out
taking into account the project objectives and the Client's requirements and needs.

It also aims to identify and examine the critical aspects of the project through an analysis of the solutions adopted,
the optimization measures taken and feasibility of execution within the established time and cost objectives.

Design & Build Department coordinates and conducts all the reviews and records such as documented minutes of
meeting or commented design documents or related correspondence are maintained. Design & Build Department
will also determine the review participants which may include subcontracted specialists/ consultants, Client
representative, other departments involved, etc.

8.3.5 Design and Development Verification

Design verification is performed at agreed stages by Design & Build Department and specialists (during submission
of deliverables to Client/ Authorities) to ensure that the design and development outputs meet the input
requirements.

8.3.6 Design and Development Validation

Design and development validation is performed in accordance with planned arrangements (section 8.3.1) by our
Design & Build Department. For a project, validation is progressive and full validation is possible only when
construction is fully completed, handed over and no major complaints arose thereafter. Prior validation is possible
before the execution of the design by comparing similar successful design in existing structures. Some of the input
criteria are not practical to validate for example, full plant load conditions, 100% load on building, or extreme wind
loads, etc. We will also do the design validation through verification of the final inspections, testing and
commissioning reports, snag lists/defects, client/ occupant complaints, feedbacks from client, etc.

8.3.7 Control of Design and Development Changes

Design changes may result from the Client requirements or possibilities identified during the design stages,
changes to the regulatory/ statutory requirements, from problems encountered during execution, etc. All these
changes affecting design are recorded, reviewed, verified and validated as appropriate by our Design Department.

Our Design Department will control the design changes by :

Identifying, recording and tracking changes


Assessment of overall impact, other design packages, procurements, schedules, and on-going
constructions
Approval of change from Client before implementation
Communication of changes to all affected parties
Maintaining modified drawings, related correspondence because of changes and subsequent actions

8.4 Control of externally provided processes, products and services

8.4.1 General

CMC ensures that effective and efficient procurement processes are defined and implemented for the evaluation
and control of suppliers, subcontractors and purchased products, in order that purchased products satisfy our
needs and requirements.

We evaluate and select suppliers/ sub-contractors based upon their ability to supply product and/or services based
on client requirements/approval, past performance, previous experience and ability to meet the company's

SECTION 10 IMPROVEMENT

10.1 General

The defined quality management system is aimed at continuous improvement in all processes, achievement of
customer satisfaction and growth of the organization. Various control mechanisms used for measuring the
performance are aimed to identify the weakness in the system and hence for improvements. Procedures are
established for corrective actions and preventive actions (improvement actions), which are communicated
throughout the organization.

10.2 Non-conformity & Corrective Action

CMC will handle nonconformities in order to control and correct them and deal with the consequences. CMC will
establish a corrective action system to investigate and document the root cause and actions to correct supplier,
internal, and customer reported nonconformities. Corrective actions will be assigned to a responsible individual and
tracked by number and completion date.

Corrective action is used as a tool for improvement. The significance of the problem is evaluated and the root
cause is determined. Suitable corrective actions are planned and implemented. A documented procedure is
established and implemented detailing the following:
Review of non-conformities arising from all areas
Determining the cause of non-conformities and suitable corrective action.
Evaluation of the proposed action to ensure that the non-conformance will not recur.
Implementation strategies
Review and verification of action initiated
When any non-conformance within the quality management system, including customer complaints, is identified,
the cause is determined and eliminated with appropriate corrective action as per defined procedure. Corrective
actions are reviewed to monitor their effectiveness and are subject of regular management reviews. All corrective
actions are recorded and periodically analysed to establish the need for any preventative actions.
