INTRODUCTION
ROLE OF HR IN QUALITY MANAGEMENT
INTODUCTION:
• Three processes
– Plan Quality
Project quality management encompasses the processes and activities that are
used to figure out and achieve the quality of the deliverables of a project.
However, quality can be an elusive word.
Quality is simply what the customer or stakeholder needs from the project
deliverables. By keeping the definition tied to the customer or stakeholder,
quality management can have a narrower focus, which means it’s more likely to
achieve its goals.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Of course, the deliverable must meet with agreed upon requirements or else the
project has failed because the product of the project and the management of the
project didn’t meet with the expectations of the customer or stakeholder.
2
That’s why implementing quality control means managing both process and
people. Meet with your customer or stakeholder regularly to keep them abreast
of the project’s progress. Get their feedback and make sure that you’re being
fully transparent with them to avoid issues arising later.
Quality doesn’t come free. The Cost of Quality (COQ) is the money spent
dealingwith issues during the project, and then after the project, to fix any
failures. These are broken up into two categories: cost of conformance and cost
of non conformance.
The cost of conformance can be considered a preventive cost. These costs are
primarily related to training, the documentation process, equipment needed, and
the time required to get the quality done right. Other costs related to this can
include testing, destructive testing loss and inspections.
The cost of non conformance refers to internal failure costs. These consist of
having to rework something or even scrap it entirely. Further costs can come
from liabilities, warranty work and lost business.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
This concept of quality project management can be found in Six Sigma and
Total Quality Management (TQM) and is featured dominantly in the Prevention
Over Inspection concept.
Once you have an idea of the different concepts, the next step is to implement a
project quality management plan. To do so, follow these three steps.
PLAN QUALITY
First identify the requirements for the quality of the deliverable and how the
project needs to be managed. Agree on how this process will be documented
and how that information will be delivered. Will you have regular meetings,
emails, etc.?
The plan will include these specifics as well as metrics for measuring the quality
while managing the project. This should include a quality checklist to collect
and organize the marks you need to hit during the project.
4
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Use quality assurance to make sure your processes are in fact working towards
making the project deliverables meet quality requirements. Two ways to
accomplish this is by using a process checklist and a project audit.
QUALITY CONTROL
Every process needs a policeman, so to speak, to make sure that the rules are
5
being following and that the expected quality is being met. Some ways to
ensure that the required quality of the deliverables is being achieved is through
peer reviews and testing.
It’s essential to check the quality of the deliverables during the project
management process in order to adjust the deliverables if they’re not meeting
the standards that have been set. This can be done at the end of the project, but
it’s not as efficient to redo rather than to readjust.
Managing the process of project quality involves many things, such as setting
quality targets for your team to meet, defining how to measure those quality
targets and reporting on them. Project management tools can prove helpful
with this.
