This quality management plan clearly specifies the practices and procedures that will be followed during the term of the agreement.
This management plan includes efficiency requirement of the physical units in the project as well as their minimum values at which maintenance is required. The subsequent deficiencies of the physical units is noted and their regular inspection plan as well as maintenance plan is specified.
The Quality management plan (QMP) also finds the remedy to probable hazards and repairs the defects permanently in the physical units.
The Quality management Plan is made in the planning phase of a project for the project manager and the team so that they can carry out the project work smoothly.
The Quality management Plan (QMP) can be divided into three categories:
a)Quality Planning-It includes all those activities which are done to control the quality of the project.
b)Quality Assurance- This system ensures that the materials used in the project are as per the specifications mentioned and the structure is same as given in the design.
c)Quality Control- It ensures that the raw materials are of required quality and the work is asper the requirements.
1.2PRINCIPLE OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT
The main principle of quality assurance is based on the quality management cycle.
Plan——-Act—-Analyse—-Improve
Quality planning includes:
