ABSTRACT
Project Quality Management includes the processes and activities of the
performing organization that determine quality policies, objectives, and
responsibilities so that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was
undertaken. It implements the quality management system through
policy and procedures with continuous process improvement activities
conducted throughout, as appropriate.
The Project Quality Management processes include the following:
- Plan Quality: The process of identifying quality requirements
and/or standards for the project and product, and documenting how
the project will demonstrate compliance.
- Perform Quality Assurance: The process of auditing the quality
requirements and the results from quality control measurements to
ensure appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are
used.
- Perform Quality Control: The process of monitoring and recording
results of executing the quality activities to assess performance and
recommend necessary changes.
These processes interact with each other and with the processes in the
other Knowledge Areas. Each process can involve effort from one or
more persons or groups based on the project requirements. Each process
occurs at least once in every project and occurs in one or more of the
project phases, if the project is divided into phases. Although the
processes are presented here as discrete elements with well-defined
interfaces, in practice they may overlap and interact in ways not detailed
here.
Project Quality Management addresses the management of the project
and the product of the project. It applies to all projects, regardless of the
nature of their product. Product quality measures and techniques are
specific to the type of product produced by the project. While quality
management of software products uses different approaches and

QC Quality Control
1. INTRODUCTION
This QCP (Quality Control Plan) will be implemented to ensure
remedial and construction procedures are performed in compliance with
the plans and specifications under the contract of The NBE (National
Bank of Egypt).
The quality control measures as presented herein include quality control
organization; methods of performing, documenting, and enforcing quality
control operations from ORYX (Oryx Construction industry)
(including inspection and testing); inspections to be performed; and
protocol describing corrective actions.
Overall management of the QCP (Quality Control Plan) will be the
responsibility of QCM (ORYX Quality Control Manager).
The QCM will have the authority to act in all matters and will be
responsible for ensuring that all materials and work comply with the
contract specifications. All inspection and testing firms will be at the
disposal of the QCM to ensure that all aspects of work are compliant with
the contract. The QCM will report any deviations from the QCP
independently to the On-site Project Manager. The resume of the ORYX’s
team designated attached.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this master thesis is to evaluate how the QCP process
is used in the construction industry and how the practitioners are
managing it every day. The theory of the quality control management
process will be compared to the actual practice in order to investigate
similarities and differences. In other words, the main idea is to see if
the construction industry is working with QCP as it is described in
the literature regarding the methods and techniques presented.
1.2 Limitations
The research focuses on the construction industry and is based on
theories of QCP described in the literature. The research was
complemented by a study of a construction project in Oryx

• Serving as main point of contact at the site for client questions and
discussions on quality and technical issues.
• Delegating duties to alternate QCMs and notifying consultant to whom
what duties have been delegated.
The QCM or an alternate will be on-site when work is being performed.
4.1 IMPLEMENTATION
The QCM will be responsible for implementing the QCP by ensuring that
quality materials and supplies are provided for the proposed project, and
that good workmanship is provided in all aspects of this contract. The
QCM will report directly to the On-site Project Manager and will
complete daily site inspections to ensure compliance with the quality
control specifications.
Daily reports will be completed listing all field testing and sampling
activities. These reports will be submitted to ACH on a daily basis. The
QCM will be responsible for ensuring that all materials and work comply
with the contract plans and specifications, and that all performance
standards are met.
It is anticipated that the ACH and the QCM will meet frequently in order
to forecast and/or prevent any potential problems from arising. An on-site
quality control meeting will be conducted on a weekly basis as part of the
weekly progress meeting in order to review performance during the
previous one-week period, and prepare for the upcoming two-week
period. It is anticipated that the ORYX’s On-site Project Manager, Health
and Safety
Officer and ACH will attend this meeting.
4.2 DOCUMENTING
The QCM will record project activities in a daily quality control report
maintained on site at all times. All site activities, site inspections, and
field testing of materials will be recorded on a daily basis, along with any
unacceptable site occurrences or deficiencies and their associated
corrective actions. Each daily entry into the report will be signed by the
QCM. Quality control reports will be submitted on a daily basis during
all field project activities.
5. INSPECTIONS
To ensure that all finishing and remedial activities comply with the
project specifications, the
QCM will complete, in conjunction with the subcontractors, three phases
of site inspections for each feature of work. These inspections will include
the following:
7. SUBMITTALS
This section describes the procedures for ACH processing of submittals.
The QCM will administer and control the processing of submittals.
After being reviewed for completeness, submittal documents will be
transmitted to the relevant project staff for review and verification for
compliance with contract requirements.
The submittal’s disposition will be noted on the submittal, which will be
signed, dated and returned. If required, ORYX will revise the submittal,
incorporating the comments and will resubmit it for review and
verification for compliance. Submittals will be logged and copies will be
retained in the project files. The ACH will follow standard procedures
concerning submittals, including the use of the QCM or ORYX
transmittal form. Each submittal form may contain more than one
submittal specific to that specification section.
This includes reviews of materials and suppliers’ catalog cuts, as well as
subcontractor submittals.
7.1 SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE
ORYX will submit and maintain a submittal schedule. The QCM will
review and after consulting ACH will approve the submittal schedule.
The schedule will be initially submitted within 14 days after the award
of the contract and then monthly with the monthly baseline schedule
updates.
The QCM shall work with the contractor to prioritize and sequence
submittals so that the most critical submittals are received and processed
first.
The submittal schedule will become the baseline against which receipt
of all required submittals will be compared. The approved submittal
schedule will be forwarded to NBE.
8. DOCUMENTATION
All testing results will be recorded on the daily quality control report. A
sample Daily QC report is included in Appendix. Any concerns or
