Project Quality Management
“Creating and following policies and
procedures to ensure that a project meets
the defined needs it was intended to meet
from the customer’s perspective.” PMP
Exam Prep, 6th Edition
Why Quality Management?
Quality means conformance to specifications and
fitness for use – i.e. just what you need and not
more
Projects or products with unnecessary features
can be too expensive to meet the business need
Prevention is much cheaper than inspection, build
quality in early to minimize costs/maximize quality
How Do We Manage Quality?
Three processes

Plan Quality
What is quality and how will we ensure it?

Perform Quality Assurance
Are we following the quality standards?

Perform Quality Control
Are we meeting the quality standards?

Cost of Quality –
Evaluating the cost of
conformance with the
cost of nonconformance
to reach a balance.
Includes;



Prevention Costs
Appraisal Costs
Failure Costs
Deming’s Costs of Quality
Cost of
Cost of Non
Conformance Conformance
Quality training
Rework
Studies
Scrap
Surveys
Inventory Costs
Warranty Costs
85% of the costs of quality are the direct responsibility of management - Deming
Quality Planning Terms
Gold Plating – Giving the customer extras that
do not add value to the project
Marginal Analysis – The point where the
incremental revenue from an improvement
equals the cost to implement it
Kaizen – Continuous improvement process to
reduce costs and promote consistency
ISO 9000 – International standard to ensure that
companies have quality procedures and that
they follow them

Statistics Terms Review
Mutually Exclusive – Two
events that cannot both
occur in a single trial
Statistical Independence
– Probability of one event
occurring does not affect
the probability of another
event occurring
Probability – The
likelihood that something
will occur (usually
expressed in percent)
Normal Distribution
Remember:
+/- 1 s = 68.26%
+/- 2 s = 95.46%
+/- 3 s = 99.73%
+/- 6 s = 99.99%

Control Chart
Upper & Lower Control Limits (UCL & LCL)


Set by quality goal i.e. 3s
Includes the normal and expected variation in the process
Specification Limits

Contracted acceptable limit, usually outside UCL & LCL
Out of Control


Data point falls outside of UCL/LCL
Non-random data points i.e. “Rule of Seven”
Rule of Seven


If you get seven points in a row on one side of the mean, seven
points ascending, or seven points descending, the process is no
longer random and it is out of control
Originally adopted from a Ford quality manual
Assignable Change

When the controller adjusts the process to bring the process back
within process control limits
