Quality control and management

Quality control ensures that the project and the results of it are in sync with the quality management plan and u to the standards agreed upon before the project.Quality control was born from the much appreciated management concept called Total Quality Management (TQM) – most quality related concepts are born from this school of philosophy.The quality management plan, qualitative methods, and quality metrics are applied to along with the work performance measurements and the deliverables themselves in order to determine whether the work has been done correctly.In addition, this process validates that approved changes have been implemented correctly.  The definition of perform quality control is: “the process of monitoring and reporting results of executing the quality activities to assess performance and recommended necessary changes.”Upper and lower control and specification limits contained within the control chartsInformation is referenced such as sampling numbers, the sample criteria, measurements and variable sampling.Quality metrics, these can be any measurement that must be met for the results to meet the quality requirements.Quality checklist ensures that the proper steps are being followed in order to comply with aspects such as processes, regulations or policies.Quality Control – Tools and TechniquesFlowcharting helps showing how individual steps are connected leading to an outcomeCause and Effect Diagrams define the problem and them looks at different variables that affect the problem itselfHistograms is a vertical bar chart where the x-axis is calibrated with the number of defectsPareto Chart is a type of histogram where the vertical bars are reordered in the rank of defect numbersRun Chart maps the pattern and history of variation Control Charts adds upper and lower control limits to show either a particular system is in or out of controlScatter Diagrams is a two- variable graph, where the clustering and positioning of these points can show the trend information Perform Quality Control – OutputsChange requests is the out when the analysis and evaluation points to when a change is required.Project management plan updates is a result where changes are made to the initial plan based on the findings through the quality control process.Project document updates is the impact of different element within a document which could be budget, schedule, scope etcOrganizational process assets update is a result where you find out the actual quality of the resources and take necessary action for future projects.
