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

Management
measures than building a nuclear power plant, Project Quality

Management approaches apply to both. In either case, failure to meet
product or project quality requirements can have serious negative
consequences for any or all of the project stakeholders. For example
- Meeting customer requirements by overworking the project team
may result in increased employee attrition, errors, or rework.
- Meeting project schedule objectives by rushing planned quality
inspections may result in undetected errors.

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

Management
Construction Industry with some of the stakeholders involved in it.

Due to the limited research time of the thesis, the project was
investigated during the study of implementation bidding phase only.
1.3 Outline of the thesis
The research starts with a literature overview in order to provide the
theoretical context about the project in general terms with the focus on
the project life cycle. Further, a description of how the construction
industry is operating in the field of QC, including the definition of QC, a
descriptive part of the steps of the QCP, is then presented in order to
establish the foundation for this thesis.

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:
5.1 PHASE I - PREPARATORY INSPECTION

Preparatory inspections will be performed prior to beginning work on any
definable feature of the project and will include:
• Review of submittal requirements and all other Contract requirements
with the performance of the work;
• Check to assure that provisions have been made to provide required field
quality control testing;
• Examine the work area to ascertain that all preliminary work has been
completed;
• Verify all field dimensions and advise ACH of any discrepancies;
• Perform a physical examination of materials and equipment to assure
that they conform to approved shop drawings or submittal data and that
all required materials and/or equipment are on hand and comply with the
Contract requirements.
Subsequent to the preparatory inspection and prior to commencement of
work, ORYX shall instruct each applicable worker on the level of
workmanship required to meet contract specifications.
5.2 PHASE II - INITIAL INSPECTIONS

Initial phase inspections will be performed as soon as a representative
portion of the particular feature of work has been accomplished. Initial
inspections include, but are not limited to, examination of the quality of
workmanship; review of control testing for compliance with control

Management
requirements; and identification of defective or damaged materials,

omissions, and dimensional requirements.
The initial phase inspection is the time to discuss and agree on the
required level of quality associated with a given work activity. Any
discrepancies relative to work quality should be addressed at this time.
5.3 PHASE III - FOLLOW-UP INSPECTIONS

Follow-up inspections will be performed daily as work progresses to
ensure continuing compliance with contract requirements, including
control testing, until completion of the particular feature of work. Final
follow-up inspections will be conducted and deficiencies corrected prior
to beginning new work.
The QCM will notify the ACH at least 24 hours in advance of any
inspections. Notification and meeting minutes of all inspections will be
recorded in the Daily Quality Control Report or visiting Minutes Report.
Examples of the inspection forms to be utilized are presented in
Appendix.
