8.1 Plan Quality Management
The process of identifying quality requirements and/or
standards for the project and its deliverables and
documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance
with quality requirements.
8.2 Perform Quality Assurance
The process of auditing the quality requirements and the
results from quality control measurements to ensure that
appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are
used.
8.3 Control Quality
The process of monitoring and recording results of

• 80/20 principle, top management
involvement. Quality is fitness for use.
• Advocated top management involvement
Quality Theorists
Philip

• Cost of poor quality, prevention over
inspection and zero defects.
• Quality = Conformance To Requirements
Edwards

• 14 steps of Total Quality Management,
Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle.

Quality Concepts
Quality vs. Grade
Quality: the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfill requirements
Quality level that fails to meet quality requirements is always a PROBLEM
Grade: a category assigned to product or service having the same functional use but different technical characteristics
Low grade may not be a problem

• Customer satisfaction
• Conformance to requirement
• Fitness for use: product/service produced must satisfy real needs
• Prevention over inspection
• Cost of preventing mistakes < cost of correcting
• Continuous improvement (Kaizen) Japanese concept
• Based on PDCA cycle
• Using quality improvement initiatives e.g. TQM, 6 sigma
• Management responsibility
• To provide the resource needed to succeed

• Cost-benefit Analysis The primary benefit of meeting
quality requirements is less rework, i.e., higher
productivity, lower costs and increased stakeholder
satisfaction.
• Benchmarking This technique involves looking at other
projects to get ideas for improvement on the current
project and to provide a basis (or benchmark) to use in
measuring quality performance.
• Meetings

• Seven Basic Quality Tools 7QC Tools
used within the context of the PDCA Cycle to solve quality-
related problems.
1. Cause-and-effect (fishbone diagrams / Ishikawa diagrams) Trace
the problem’s source back to its “actionable root cause”
![Page 18: Pmp quality chapter 8](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052305/5873492c1a28ab56378b4953/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

process showing the relationships among process steps and display the
sequence of steps
![Page 19: Pmp quality chapter 8](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052305/5873492c1a28ab56378b4953/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

4. Pareto Diagram (Pareto Chart)
Identify the vital few sources that are responsible for causing most of a
problem’s effects.
• Focus attention to most
critical issues
• Pareto Principle :
80/20 principle states that
80 percent of problems
are due to 20 percent of
the root causes

A bar chart and are used to describe the central tendency, distraction.
Does not consider the influence of time on the variation exists within a
distribution.
Helps identify which Problems are worth dealing with.

6. Control Charts
Graphic displays of the results, over time, of a process; used to assess
whether the process is “in control”.
Control Limits : represent the performing organization's standards
Mean (Average) : It shows the middle of the range of acceptable variation.
Specification Limits : represent the customer's expectations or contractual
requirements
![Page 23: Pmp quality chapter 8](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052305/5873492c1a28ab56378b4953/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• Seven Basic Quality Tools 7QC Tools
6. Control Charts
• Rule of Seven : seven points toward upper or lower control limit may indicate
that process is out of control
Assignable causes – Variations may be caused by differences in
machines, workers overtime, etc. Identify the root cause.
A process is considered out of control when :
1. a data point exceeds a control limit.
2. seven consecutive plot points are above the mean
3. seven consecutive plot points are below the mean.

• Statistical Sampling
8.1- Plan Quality Management T & T
Involves choosing part of a population of interest for inspection
(e.g., selecting 10 samples of 75 electronic components).
Appropriate sampling can often reduce the cost of quality
control.
Brainstorming. This technique is used to generate ideas.

ideas to be brainstormed in small groups and then reviewed by
a larger group.

specified
.
• Compare the processes used to create the
measurements, and validate actual
measurements to determine their level of
