Project Quality Management• The processes required to ensure that the project

will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken.

• Modern quality management complements modern project management in that both recognize the importance of customer satisfaction and prevention over inspection.

4

Project Quality Management• A company dedicated to quality usually provides

training for all employees.

• A company dedicated to quality has strategic vision of quality.

• A company dedicated to quality has long term vision and mission to stay in the market place.

5

Why Quality Management ?• Customer satisfaction:

– Understanding, managing, and influencing needs so that customer expectations are met.

– Requires a combination of conformance to requirements and fitness for use. (the product/service must satisfy real needs)

• Prevention over inspection: – the cost of preventing mistakes is always much

less than the cost of correcting the mistakes, as revealed by inspection.

6

Why Quality Management ?• Management responsibility:

– success requires the participation of all members of the team, but it remains the responsibility of management to provide the resources needed to succeed.

• Processes within phases: – the repeated plan-do-check-act cycle

according to Dr. Shewart and Dr. Deming. (described later)

7

When Quality is not Managed ?• Failure to meet quality requirements effectively and

timely can have serious negative consequences for the project stakeholders. For example:

– Meeting customer requirements by overworking the project team may produce negative consequences in the form of increased employee attrition.

– Meeting project schedule objectives by rushing planned quality inspections may produce negative consequences when errors go undetected…….

Complete inspection for the products is expensive and time consuming

– the customer’s feelings about a product or service

• Fitness for use– Is the product or service capable of being used?

• Fitness for purpose– Does the product or service meet its intended

purpose?

• Conformance to requirements– the condition of the product or service in relation

to the customer’s requirements

ISO -Wikipedia• ISO 9000 is a family of standards for quality management systems. • ISO 9000 is maintained by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization

and is administered by accreditation and certification bodies. • The rules are updated, as the requirements motivate changes over time. • Although the standards originated in manufacturing, they are now employed

across several types of organizations. A "product", in ISO vocabulary, can mean a physical object, services, or software.

• Some of the requirements in ISO 9001:2008 (which is one of the standards in the ISO 9000 family) include;

• A company or organization that has been independently audited and certified to be in conformance with ISO 9001 may publicly state that it is "ISO 9001 certified" or "ISO 9001 registered". Certification to an ISO 9001 standard does not guarantee any quality of end products and services; rather, it certifies that formalized business processes are being applied.
