4.0 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

4.1 ISO Certification

MNT’s Quality Management System was audited and originally certified in 2018 by BUREAU VERITAS
certifications, to comply with the quality assurance requirements of ISO 9001: 2015

The scope of MNT’s accreditation covers: ‘For CIVIL CONSTRUCTION WORKS’.

4.2 Quality Management System

MNT’s Quality System is developed around a Quality Assurance Manual is based on ISO 9001:2015,
which addresses the relevant elements of ISO 9002. This Quality Assurance Manual is supported by
detailed Departmental Quality System Procedures are intended to comply with all the prescriptions of
ISO 9001:2015. In turn these Quality System Procedures are supported by Operating Quality Procedures
required for different activities in the process control.

MNT has developed Operating Quality Procedures for all essential activities involved in “Civil Construction
Works” and these operating procedures will be modified, if and as required, to meet the specification
requirements of particular projects.
4.3 Project Quality Management

The Project Manager is the functional head of QA/QC Department. He has overall responsibility for:

 Coordinating and harmonizing quality efforts between operating entities.

 Representing the company regarding quality matters.
 Participating in Quality Management Steering Committee activities.
 Verifying that the quality system is applied to work performed and that personnel are
trained in its use.

Inspections, audits, checks and testing is handled by the Project Manager /QA QC Engineer. He has the
responsibility on the project level to:

 Aid in the development of systems that:

 Identify and record quality problems
 Control further processing, delivery, or installation of non-conforming product
until the deficiency or unsatisfactory condition has been corrected.
 Initiate, recommend, or provide solutions through designated channels.
 Verify the implementation of solutions.
 Take action, as deemed appropriate, in the event of serious deviations from specified
quality requirements. The assurance and control of essential activities are carried out by
MNT’s Project Manager or QA QC Engineer with the assistance of QC Engineer(s) from
either MNT or their subcontractors, depending on project scope of work.

4.4 Quality Control

MNT’s approach to quality control is summarized as follows:

 Acceptable levels of quality are to be clearly established Through ITP before the start of
Construction Works and are to be consistently applied throughout the project.
 Project Management and Production department will fully support the principles of
quality control and will ensure that quality levels are maintained.
 Project supervision will understand and accept the philosophy and techniques of quality
control and will be dedicated to achieve the quality levels established for the Project.

Quality control will not be restricted to supervision and monitoring of the Project and performance only.
As consumable materials are received in MNT ware house prior to commencement of project activities,
receiving inspection will be conducted to ensure that the items received conform to specification, Delivery
Note and Purchase Order requirements. Any discrepancies discovered in the inspection will be referred
back to the Procurement dept., personnel for follow-up and resolution with the sub vendor.

The project team management will bear primary responsibility for ensuring that quality control is
maintained during Construction of the Project. They will be responsible for receiving, handling and
interpreting all of the engineering drawings, specifications and for monitoring construction work for
compliance to the intent. Project’s entire team will share this responsibility during the daily monitoring of
the work under each individual’s direction, through visual inspection to ensure quality workmanship and
through observation and confirmation that work forces are applying appropriate construction methods.
5.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT / PROJECT CONTROL
5.1 The concept for project control is a planned, controlled and disciplined approach, which
emphasizes and requires the following actions:

 Early and timely decisions on specific project requirements

 Critical path planning and schedules based on plan of construction and equipment and
materials availability.
 Early and continuous construction involvement.
 All equipment and materials needed are identified, scheduled and controlled.
 Firm control of changes
 Prompt and effective reporting on all aspects of the Project for management analysis of
performance and the initiation of action where required.

5.2 Schedule Planning and Control

a) Major Objectives

The objective of the schedule planning and control will be to meet the contractual time limits and
to move the Project as rapidly as possible. Namely, the major objectives of the schedule control
function will be to:

 Establish and maintain the Project Master Schedule, highlighting the key project
milestones and project parameters necessary to attain the overall project schedule
objectives.
 Ensure that the Project Master Schedule and other control scheduled are effectively
communicated throughout project organization in a timely manner.
 Identify and predict adverse schedule situations as far in advance of the occurrence as
possible to allow corrective action to be taken.
 Provide a basis for sound project management decisions, which will enable timely
execution of the Project and maintain it continuously with fabrication and construction
requirements.

b) Basic Philosophy

Schedule control will be developed in a step wise manner, parallel with the development of the
project scope definition. The schedule control approach will be broken down into the following
three distinct phases:

 Overall Planning
 Detailed planning
 Monitoring, reporting and control.

The objective of overall planning phase will be to establish an overall time schedule, which clearly
establishes project key milestones (hard and soft) as specified by and agreed to with the
Company.
 The objective of the second phase will be to develop the detailed work plan, which will be
adequate for controlling and tracking the progress of the Project. This will also match the release
of drawings and delivery of materials to the required path of construction. Once the planning
work has been completed, control will be maintained by monitoring and comparing actual
accomplishment against the plan, making adjustments and forecasts. It will be vital to successful
completion of the Project to identify potential problem areas as early as possible by close
monitoring so that corrective action can be taken before a problem becomes serious .

c) Organization

The schedule planning and control function will be under the control of the Project Manager who
will be staff to the COO operation. Regarding this function, the Project Manager will:

 Prepare the schedule control plan and schedules

 Provide day-to-day monitoring\ reporting and coordination among disciplines.
 Coordinate with Company on schedule and progress matters through the COO
operations.
 Track and report the status of problem areas until they have been resolved.
 Provide Company and COO-operations with accurate and timely report.

Monitoring, Reporting and Control:--

As soon as the detailed schedule planning is completed, the schedule control operation will switch to the
monitoring, reporting and control phase. This phase will extend from the completion of the detailed
planning until the completion of the Project. The objective of this phase will be to monitor, track and
control the progress of the Project using a variety of schedule and progress related documents that will
identify adverse trends or schedule exceptions.

To obtain current project status of construction, project review meetings will be conducted along with
Plant Managers so that problems can be identified and resolved as early as possible. If the problem
cannot be resolved at Project level, it will be brought to the attention of COO -Operations.

d) Progress Measurement and Control

In order to evaluate current project status and forecast future trends, the progress of each phase of the
Project will be measured and reviewed by making a comparison between actual progress and planned
progress.
