3. Quality Management System
3.1 General
To produce a successful project the use of the correct project management techniques along with an
effective Quality Management system is required that is implemented across the whole company
structure. If this effective Quality Management System is implemented correctly it will ensure the
resultant product is delivered to the client on time and at the highest standard of quality. EDGE
Engineering will ensure the following criteria are met according to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 in the
Quality Management System that follows:
a) determine the process needed for the quality management system and their application
throughout the organisation,
b) determine the sequence and interaction of these processes,
c) determine criteria and methods needed to ensure that both the operation and control of
these processes are effective,
d) ensure the availability of resources and information necessary to support the operation and
monitoring of these processes,
e) monitor, measure where applicable and analyse these processes, and
f) implement actions necessary to achieve planned results and continual improvement of
these processes.
3.2 Documentation Requirements
3.2.1 Quality Manual
A copy of this Quality Management System will be available on the Company server for all
employees to access and will also be on hand at the EDGE project office for reference. This
availability ensures any employee can easily reference any document procedures and interaction
between processes established in the Quality Management System.
3.2.2 Control of Documents
Documents required for the completion of the project must pass through the Quality Management
procedures before they are issued to the client. For this process to be effective there must be
effective control of the documents with the use of records of documents which will be explained in
the following section. Documentation control will be accomplished by ensuring the document
follows the correct process before it is issued to the client. This process is:
1) Document completed and saved on the employees own desktop or hard drive.
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
5 | P a g e
2) Document sent to team leader who checks and approves the document before saving it on
their desktop or hard drive and onto the project drop box to share throughout the company.
3) Team leader notifies Quality Management of the upload of the document.
4) Quality Management checks and approves before saving the document onto their desktop
or hard drive before notifying the Project Manager of the uploaded document.
5) Project Manager checks and approves before saving the document onto the project server
and implementing the document into the project report for issue to the client.
If this process is correctly implemented throughout the project it will ensure documents that
reach the client are of the highest standard of quality.
3.2.3 Control of Records
All documents that pass through the system will have forms attached to them and filled out to
ensure each one is approved and recognized by the management team. Each document that is
completed by an employee will be handed up with a verification form to be filled out by the team
leader, quality manager and project manager that will check the document. Once received each
document will be registered on the document register to show it has been received.
Any documents used to ensure the quality management system is managed correctly must be filled
out and saved onto the project drop box. If documents are filled out by hand the employee must
ensure their writing is legible. The employee must also ensure the heading of each document is filled
out to ensure the document is identifiable and they must ensure they attach the document to the
project drop box to make sure it is retrievable by the project manager and the team as a whole.

6. Product Realisation
EDGE Engineers has a product realisation system that relates to product operating processes that is
related to this section and complies with the code and standards AS/NZS ISO 9001:2000
6.1 Planning of Product Realisation
Product Realisation is a term used to describe the procedures EDGE Engineers use to provide an
effective, formal and conventional product and service. This procedure must be consistence with all
aspects outlined in this quality management system (refer 4.3 and 4.4). Product realisation means
that all products and services will be consistence and ensure that the client will be satisfied.
Planning product realisation process includes:
1. The product must comply with quality objectives and goals stated in section 4.4.1.In addition
it must meet the requirements outlined by both the client and team leaders before the
product can be distributed.
2. EDGE understands that no project is the same and that any repetition of a service or product
is insufficient. Therefore a unique process needs to be established in order to cater for that
particular project. This planning is to be done prior to the project and is done by all team
leaders and top management. When appropriate, specific project documentation and
resources may be needed to provide a future reference to that product.
3. Throughout the project, required verification, validation, monitoring, inspections and test
activities specific to this project will be carried out by the quality/project management team
as well as team leaders. Constant monitoring checks and internal audits will be held and
signed off when completed. This ensures that the product is satisfying all requirements
throughout the entire project.
4. It is critical that the product meets all requirements and in order to achieve this records and
documents need to be provided to top management for evidence that the realization
process is being followed as planned.
6.2 Client Related Process
6.2.1 Determination of Requirements Related to Product
EDGE Engineers has developed a procedure to determine a client’s requirements for a product. It
must be known that all client requests for quote, inquiry forms and purchase order forms are

Process Involves:
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
15 | P a g e
1. EDGE will consult with the client to realise the specific requirements for the product,
including those involved with delivery and pricing.
2. In addition to stated requirements by the client it is essential for EDGE to determine other
known objectives necessary for specific and intended use.
3. Top management and team leaders must also try to determine company requirements that
are related to the product and are consistence with the quality policy/objectives (refer 4.4).
6.2.2 Review of Requirements Related to Product
In order to increase our understanding and knowleedge of a specific clients requirements EDGE has
designed a procedure for reviewing the requirements of a product. Top management must conduct
a review meeting prior to any project works or tender submission.
Process Involves:
1. The product requirements must be formally defined and reviewed in a management
meeting over the requirements found during the process defined in section 6.2.1.
2. If a new contract or order displays different product requirements, a review meeting
involving management will occur to allow for the requirements to be compared and
ultimately defined formally once again.
3. When a client has provided no documentation for requirement, EDGE will confirm these
objectives before acceptance of the project.
6.2.3 Client Communication

arrangement (refer 6.3.1). The reviews must focus purely on the results of design and development
that will eventually meet the requirements as well as problems and proposed actions. Personal
involved in the reviews may include representation of functions concerned with the design and
development stages under reviewed. EDGE Engineers will maintain all records and results of the
review, including any actions that occurred.

planed arrangement (refer 6.3.1). These records and results documents, including any necessary
actions will be maintained.
6.3.6 Design and Development Validation
Design and development validation will be performed to determine whether the resulting product
will be able to meet the requirements for the specific application or intended use. Wherever
practical, validation will be completed prior to the delivery or implementation of the product. These
records and results documents, including any necessary actions will be maintained
6.3.7 Control of Design and Development Changes
All design and development changes are to be defined with all records and documentation
maintained. These changes will enter a process where each will be reviewed, verified and validated,
before being approved and implemented. The review process shall include an evaluation of the
effect of change on constituent parts and product already delivered. These records and result
documents, including any necessary actions will be maintained
6.4 Purchasing
6.4.1 Purchasing Process
It is EDGE Engineering’s responsibility to ensure the purchased product complies with the specific
purchase requirements. EDGE Engineering purchases many types or supplies and resources and
understands the importance of adopting a quality distributor. All products that EDGE considers to
purchase will firstly be researched by management in order to gain knowledge of it relevance to the
project. Top management has generated a process for selecting a supplier and purchasing products.
Purchasing Process
1. The need of a product is firstly recognised
2. Research of desired product and its potential supplier is carried out to gain product
knowledge of relevance and costing
3. Request forms and documents are completed and must be approved by team leader
4. Top management will approve and purchase the product
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
18 | P a g e
6.4.2 Purchasing Information
Purchasing information must be readily available for EDGE Engineers and must describe the product
considered to being purchased. The information shall involve:
1. Requirements for approval of product, procedure and equipment
2. Requirements for qualification of personal
3. Quality management system requirements
EDGE Engineering will ensure that these requirements are adequate before contacting the
distributor.
6.4.3 Verification of Purchased Product
EDGE Engineering must manage the approval of a purchase product and is responsible for selecting
an appropriate supplier. EDGE has established the necessary inspections and activities, in order to
achieve this.
Numerous factors are considered when choosing the appropriate product and supplier. We evaluate
suppliers based on cost, service, reliability, warranty and company reputation, including company
history and customer feedback. These processes and inspections are to be carried out by top
management and team leaders. Records and documents are to be kept for evidence and will be
maintained by EDGE Engineering.
In addition to selecting a supplier, verification of a product must be completed. EDGE Engineering
bases product verification on product condition, physical appearance and evidence of tampering. If
the supplier doesn’t deliver a product that complies with our inspections and verification
procedures, a supplier review will determine if the supplier will be used again in the future.
6.5 Production and Service Provision
6.5.1 Control of Production and Service Provision
Controlled production and service provision shall be planned and carried out by EDGE Engineering.
This allows information describing the characteristics of the given product as well the appropriate
work instructions to be obtained. EDGE must also implement the use of monitoring and measuring
devices. All information is readily available through reports and will be implemented to team
members through induction.
6.5.2 Validation of Production and Service Provision
EDGE Engineering shall validate all processes for production and services provision where the
resulting output cannot be verified by subsequent monitoring or measurement. This demonstrates
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
19 | P a g e
the ability of these processes to achieve the planned results. Validation will be conducted and will
involve the approval of the processes, equipment and qualification of personal and the use of the
specific methods and procedures.
6.5.3 Identification and Traceability
It must be know that EDGE Engineering may identify a product by means given throughout product
realisation. Monitoring and measurement requirements will be used to define a product status.
edges shall control and record the unique identification of a product to allow it to be traceable.
6.5.4 Client Property
Client property will be exercised with care while under control of EDGE Engineering. The property
will be identified, verified, protected and safeguarded. In the event where a customer’s property is
damages or lost, proper documentation and reports will be recorded and maintained.
6.5.5 Preservation of Product
The conformity of a product during the internal processing and delivery to the intended destination
will be preserved by EDGE Engineers. This includes the identification, handling, packaging, storage
and protection of the product.
6.6 Control of Monitoring and Measuring Equipment
Top management is responsible for controlling the monitoring and measuring equipment used to
provide evidence of conformity of product to distinguish requirements. EDGE has developed a
procedure that guarantees that monitoring and measurement can be carried out in a manner that is
consistent with the appropriate requirements.
To generate valid results, measuring devices shall:
1. Be calibrated and verified at certain intervals before use. This calibration and verification will
be recorded.
2. Be adjusted to cater to the necessary scenario.
3. Be identified to enable the calibration status to be determined.
4. Be safeguarded against adjustments or damage that may affect the measurement result.
EDGE will assure that all team members will be advised of these requirements through the quality
management system and induction.

7. Occupational Health and Safety
EDGE Engineering is determined to creating and maintaining a safe and healthy work place
environment for all employees and on site visitors including clients. OHS is a major priority at EDGE
with our goal being to minimise injury or illness at the workplace.
7.1 OHS Policy
To prove that safety is our utmost priority, EDGE Engineering has implemented an OHS policy to
maintain a working environment with minimised incidents of injury, ill health and property damage.
EDGE Engineers shall create a safe a secure workplace environment by
Following the Safety Acts, Regulations, Australian Standards, Codes of Practice and other
legislation associated with health and safety.
Providing all employees, including top management, department head and directors with
the necessary OHS education and training to ensure full understanding and awareness of the
occupational health and safety requirements and responsibilities.
Ensuring the proper workplace, equipment and operating procedures are in effect to
eliminate potential health or safety impacts on employees.
Ensuring that all employees understand and follow the company’s hazardous work
information and instruction before commencing with their works. The necessary resources
will be used so that employees with English as a second language will also comply.
Allowing consulting to be available on safety and health issues
Providing constant updates and reminders in regards to safety signs on construction sites
and being careful at all times.
EDGE Engineering greatly supports and encourages employees to work safely in order to move
towards an ideal environment with zero injuries. In order to create a zero injury policy we
understand that employees need to cooperate.
A safe culture shall be enhanced and maintained through:
Continuous indentifying, assessing and controlling possible risks to health and safety of
employees and associates that may arise in a workplace.
The provision of information concerning such risks and promotions, instruction, training and
supervision of employees to ensure safe work practices.
Giving employees and clients the opportunity to participate in health and safety decisions
that affect them.
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
21 | P a g e
In the interest of maintaining safety, contractors, their employees, visitors and customers are
required to observe and comply with all health and safety standards and regulations. These
regulations include any safety signage or warnings, or instruction given by any company employee
whilst on our premises.
Signature: Date:
(Project Manager)
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
22 | P a g e
7.2 OHS Planning
This Safety Management Plan outlines how EDGE Engineering intends to manage safety during a
particular contract or on a specific worksite. The document is available to all personal involved and
all must understand and follow the requirements given throughout this plan.
To ensure success, the health and safety program requires continuous implementation commitment
from both top management and employees. By placing high priority and effort into health and safety
means that employees and clients will have great confidence in EDGE being a responsible and
capably organisation. Examinations of jobs and tasks will help identify and control potential hazards
and will improve business processes. In addition, the performance and efficiency of the task will be
examined and allows the appropriate allocation of time and resources. Creating a safe workplace will
save costs involving work related injuries and illnesses.
Monitoring and controlling of this plan will ensure its provisions are being complied with and
management is performing to the stated requirements. Management meetings are to be held every
three months in order to discuss issues and potential changes to the plan. In any case where safety
aspect fails, the plan will be rigorously reviewed and assessed. It may be modified and rechecked to
prevent any recurrence.
7.3 OHS Implementation
EDGE Engineering understands the risks and dangers associated with a construction site for all
employees and visitors. OHS policies are therefore implemented throughout the company to protect
all personal in the workplace.
The essential procedures are to be adopted by all team members attending a project work site:
Site Induction – During the entirety of a project, all company employees and site visitors are
to receive an induction prior to entering a work site. This induction will cover all necessary
safety issues, policies and procedures. After the completion of the induction the inductee
will be required to sign an induction document that acknowledges that all safety issues
policies and procedure are understood and will be followed. Visitors will also need to sign a
site entry form prior to entering for movement monitoring purposes and records.
Supervision – Supervision is to be provided to all personal without the sufficient workplace
experience or knowledge.
Training – Additional project site training may be required for employees who are exposed
to significant risk from a certain task. This will be identified and training will be arranged by
EDGE Engineering before the team member is to perform the task.
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
23 | P a g e
Personal protective equipment – It is an essential requirement that all personal on a project
site are to wear and use the appropriate work safety equipment. All safety equipment is to
be provided by EDGE Engineering. It is the employee’s responsibility to understand the
equipment and to use it at all necessary times.
EDGE Engineering will conduct random site inspections to examine these implementations and to
determine if it is done correctly.
7.4 In Case of Incident
In the case of an incident, EDGE Engineering has developed proper procedures, which involve
internal reporting and documentation and a thorough investigation into the incident. This intense
investigation will determine the cause and trends and in turn will allow for the appropriate changes
to the incident prevention methods. It is important that every incident, big, small or even near
misses are recorded as it will ensure the proper increase in safety and prevent further hazards.
All employees are responsible for reporting incidents to their respective team leaders. It is then the
team leaders who will notify the quality management team, who is responsible for ensuring all
incidents are investigated. It must be know that blame is not important, just the cause. The incident
investigation report is fully documented, including the correct actions used to prevent the
recurrence of the incident. In addition to reporting all incidents, potential hazards and dangerous
occurrences must be reported in order to provide the proper corrective actions to prevent future
incidents.
After the event of an incident, it must be made clear that the main priority is to provide the
necessary, immediate treatment to the injured person. Small injury is to be treated on site, whereas
major injury must be done at the nearest medical centre or hospital. All needed medical treatment
and help will be provided until he/she is able to return safely to the workplace.
If the incident is employee caused or related, the appropriate measures will be taken by top
management in order to correct the situation. However, if the incident is process causes or related,
the activities that may result in further incidents will be modified to assure the danger is fully
removed.
The quality assurance manager will conduct a follow up inspection to guarantee such incidents don’t
repeat. It is quality manger’s responsibility to implement the required modifications made to a
process. Once changes or modifications are completed, these updates must be understood in the
inductions and training programs by all employees. This will increase workplace incident awareness
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
24 | P a g e
and allow for improved safety. All records of incident identification will be maintained and retained
by EDGE Engineering for a minimum period of five years.
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
25 | P a g e
8. Code of Conduct
The board, management and all employees of EDGE are dedicated to acting honestly and ethically
when dealing with any stakeholders involved with a project. EDGE has high priority in being honest
and reliable when delivering a product to a client and we are committed to carry out these works in
accordance with legal requirements and Australians standards.
8.1 Complaints Log
All complaints made to our company are taken very seriously and action will be taken as soon as the
issue is addressed and relevant action is decided. EDGE has a complaints Log which records any
complaints made along with the employee the complaint is about and the date the complaint was
logged. The employee that the complaint was logged against will be interviewed by the Quality
management team and a resolution will be decided. If further complaints are made then disciplinary
action will be taken on the employee. All complaints will be filed and treated confidentially. A
template of a Complaint form can be found in Appendix E.
8.2 Alcohol and Drug Use
EDGE has a no tolerance policy for an employee under the influence of Drugs and/or Alcohol. If an
employee is found to be under the influence of either of these substances disciplinary action will be
taken immediately which could lead to the suspension or termination of employment with EDGE. If it
is practicable management will assist the employee in rehabilitation from a drug or alcohol problem.

9. Measurement Analysis and Improvement
9.1 General
EDGE will ensure that there is constant monitoring, measurement and analysis of the processes used
and the product produced by the company. There will be processes put in place to ensure these
processes and products are continually improving. The successful measurement, analysis and
improvement in the company will ensure EDGE has the ability to:
a) demonstrate conformity to product requirements,
b) ensure conformity of the quality management system and
c) to continually improve the effectiveness of the quality management system
9.2 Monitoring and Measurement
9.2.1 Client Satisfaction
One measure taken to measure the performance of the company will be to measure the client
satisfaction from their direct feedback using client feedback forms. This form can be found in
Appendix F and will be handed to the client at the end of the project. Once completed the company
will analyse this feedback and take any advice given and take action to improve and prevent any
issues that are raised for the future.
9.2.2 Internal Audit
Internal Audits are very important for EDGE to continually assess the performance and quality of its
employees. The Auditing process will be thoroughly explained in the following section and the
Auditing forms required for this process can be found in Appendix F Once completed these Audits
will be used to analyse the company’s quality management system and determine whether it:
a) conforms to planned arrangements, to international standards AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 and to
the requirements outlined in this Quality Management System
b) is effectively implemented and maintained.
The Auditing documents will be analysed by the Quality Manager and Project Manager who will
decide on any corrective actions that need to be made to eradicate any nonconformities and their
causes. It is the responsibility of the team leader of the division responsible to ensure that these
corrective actions are taken out. The frequency of these audits will be decided at the start of each
project depending on the length of the project and the importance of works undertaken. Audits and
their results will be recorded by the Quality Manager who will review previous audits to ensure
actions were taken out from the previous audit.
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
27 | P a g e
9.2.3 Monitoring and Measurement of Processes
At EDGE we believe the monitoring and measuring of processes is very important in the successful
organisation of the project. Processes will be assessed by the Quality Manager and Project Manager
by assessing the progress of the project alongside the planning of the project. If these do not match
and progress is running behind schedule then causes can be found using timesheets and meeting
minutes. Once the nonconformity is determined the appropriate action can be decided and taken
out. The monitoring of this progress is ongoing and minutes and timesheets will be viewed weekly.
9.2.4 Monitoring and Measurement of Product
Before any documents are released to the client they must be verified by the team leader, a Quality
Manager and the project Manager. This shall be done at the end of each stage of the project in
accordance to the process mentioned in the Control of Documents section (3.2.2).
There shall be sufficient evidence that the product produced meets the criteria outlined in the
project brief.
9.3 Control of Non-conforming Product
EDGE will ensure that if a product does not conform to requirements it will be identified and
controlled to prevent its unintended use or delivery. During the process outlined in the Control of
Documents section if nonconformity is found action will be taken to identify it and to control it. The
nonconformity will be identified to the management team with the use of the Document Alteration
form that can be found in Appendix C The amended document will then be uploaded onto the
project drop box with the same name however at the end will have the name of the person who
amended it and the version number of the amended document.
9.4 Analysis of Data
At the end of each project EDGE completes an analysis of all the data collected in this monitoring
and measuring process and produces a Management Report which will be completed by the
Management Team. The final analysis will look at the nonconformities that became evident
throughout the project and any issues that were raised with the processes during the project. This
analysis will also identify the actions taken to amend and prevent these nonconformities and issues
and will also suggest any actions that can be taken to prevent these problems occurring again in
future projects.
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
28 | P a g e
9.5 Improvement
9.5.1 Continual Improvement
The use of this measurement process and the results of the analysis will allow EDGE to continually
improve on its processes and the quality of its products. It will achieve this using the basic concept of
learning from its mistakes as nonconformities will always occur, however EDGE will make certain it
will implement the correct process to ensure these issues are identified and action is taken to
guarantee they will not happen again.
9.5.2 Corrective Action
EDGE will enforce corrective action on any issues that arise throughout the project as they know the
importance of preventing recurrence of already raised issues. To ensure corrective action is taken,
corrective action forms will be issued whenever an issue arises and the corrective action to be
completed is decided. To decide on the corrective action the issue must be first identified and the
causes must be determined. These forms will then be followed up by the Quality Manager and the
Project Manager depending on the severity of the issue. There will be constant reviews by the
Quality Manager of existing issues, the action taken and the effectiveness of this corrective action.
9.5.3 Preventive Action
The continual development and improvement of EDGE is vital to its growth and survival in the
industry. To ensure the continual development of the company there must be action taken to
prevent any issues that arise in a project to arise again. To do this the following steps will be taken in
accordance to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008:
a) identifying potential nonconformities and their causes
b) taking action to prevent recurrence of nonconformities
c) record any actions taken
d) review the effectiveness of preventive action taken and
e) update any processes needed to prevent recurrence of nonconformity.

10. Auditing Processes
10.1 Audit Aims
The aim of an audit will include one or more of the following:
to identify any nonconformities that were not found during the project,
to assess the quality of the product produced by the employees,
to assess the performance of employees,
to analyse the effectiveness of the Quality Management System,
to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the Quality Management System,
to highlight any improvements that can be made, and
to ensure all regulatory requirements are met.
10.2 Internal Audit process
At the frequency determined by the Quality Manager an internal audit will be arranged by the
Quality Manager who will inform the management team at the meeting before the audit will take
place. On the date of the audit the audit forms which can be found in Appendix F will be distributed
amongst the employees. All employees will complete this form and hand them to the Quality
Manager who will collect and document these forms.
10.3 Auditors Requirements
The Auditor completing the Audit will most probably be a Quality Manager and they must ensure
they complete the Audit in a professional manner. The auditor will follow the following procedure:
a) Organise a date with the management team for internal auditing,
b) Conduct the Audit on the given date,
c) Report on finding s about nonconformities found and suggestions made in the Audits,
d) Document all Audits for future reference,
e) Report findings in a Project Management Report.
10.4 External Audit
EDGE will complete an external audit using the client feedback form that can be found in Appendix F
With this form EDGE will be able to analyse the performance of its employees and the company as a
whole through the eyes of someone outside of the company with no bias views. This form will also
help to determine the effectiveness of the processes used throughout the project that concern client
communication and receiving the product.
Rail Grade Separation From South Road Feasibility Study
30 | P a g e
10.5 Project Audit
A project Audit will allow EDGE and their clients to produce a detailed status of the project. It can be
requested by the management team or by the client and should be done by an external party.
A project Audit will address the following criteria:
Adequate scope of project
Distribution of resources
Accurate project schedule and current status of the project up to date
Detailed budget for particular project and current status of budget up to date
Requirements of the product
Adequate communication and planning processes
Identification of all possible risks
Recommendations
10.6 Project Management Report
Once the Internal Auditing process is complete the management team will then fill out a
management form that will have questions structured to analyse the performance of the team as a
whole and the effectiveness of the Quality Management System. Once these forms are filled in they
will be handed to the Quality Manager and Project Manager who will work together to compile a
report on the performance of the project team as a whole, the performance of the management
team and the effectiveness of the Quality Management System and its implementation
