UNIT 4 “QUALITY CONTROL”
NAME- SARABDEEP SINGH STUDENT ID- C0661489 COURSE- EPM 2092 PROFESSOR- BOB XOURAFUS
MOTIVE- The main objective of studying this unit is to understand the control quality process. In addition to this, we will also study in depth the seven basic quality tools that are data table, Histogram, Pareto Diagram, scatter diagram, trend analysis and run chart.
REFLECTION- as per EPM 2092 study notes provided by Bob, Control quality is a process monitoring and recording the results of execution of quality activities to access the performance and recommending necessary changes. In other words, during quality control process the project team will analyze project results (which includes both deliverables and the management processes followed) to meet the specific quality standards and if something is wrong (that means it is not meeting the quality standards set by the stakeholders and organization as written in project management plan) then make it under control by taking corrective, preventive or defect repair action. In addition to this we will to make use of quality tools and techniques which will help us to analyze if the project results are meeting the quality standards.
(b) Our Project Directors par¬ticipate directly in projects. They take lead roles in perform¬ing complex tasks and preparing deliverables. (c) We prepare frequent interim prod¬ucts, such as outlines of deliverables, punch lists, and so forth. Project Managers review these items to provide early feedback to staff members, and to help focus their efforts. (d) Major interim and final audit findings are subject to independent QA/QC reviews. These reviews are standard at EYP, and do not impede the timeliness of our work. Our internal quality control system is based on the principle that en¬suring high technical quality throughout a project also ensures com¬pliance with budgets and schedules. (e) We use systematic quality checks, including standard operating pro¬cedures and check¬lists. (f) We build peer review into projects wherever appropriate. (g) We apply high standards of editorial quality to all deliverables, to ensure that our findings and recommendations are clearly articulated. (h) We carefully manage working files, to help support QC reviews at each stage of a project.
A process that monitors standards by take measurements and corrective action as needed. It is in control when only variation is natural, if variation is assignable then discover cause eliminate it. Take samples to inspect/ measure- reduce inspection time, reduce opportunity of bad quality. Control charts graph of process data over time-show natural and assignable causes. Control charts for variable data (characteristic that is measured, length,height, etc) are X-chart (average) and R-chart (range)must use x and r to get correct results. central limit theorem follow normal curve. When we know . When we don’t know . Control charts for attributes (categorical-defective, good/bad) P-chart (percent) or C-chart
Materials Management and Quality Management are the most efficient best practices we have implemented for this scenario. Materials Management plays a key role in addressing the design and deployment of the formal processes, in order to gain control of a project. The overall effectiveness of the Quality management system, including any improvements in the results which arise from the initiatives, which we
Senior leadership must determine and direct the level of quality that is acceptable within the organization. Leadership should prioritize areas of quality and use data based on benchmarks from other facilities. (Dlugacz, 2006). In addition the author states there are some important areas that must be monitored for quality. Compliance must be followed by leaders and all
The purpose of this paper is to propose on outline for evaluating the quality improvement initiative and financial implications, along with giving a description of specific metrics. A recommendation will be discussed as to how the organization can represent the data related to the quality improvement issue for ongoing monitoring. Also, there will be an explanation of how the organization can create an integrated view of performance that links finance and quality.
Our quality management plan will define the acceptable level of quality, which is defined by the project sponsor to us, and from us to our contractors. We will ensure a high level of quality in our deliverables and work processes, with these quality management activities:
I discussed your case with our Quality Control Supervisor. When determining eligibility the state requires us to use the gross biweekly income and all other unearned income including 6 months of child support that's reported on the disbursement print out. Rent, Health Care cost and summer camp are not part of unearned income and cannot be considered when eligibility is being determined.

Project quality is concerned with two ultimate goals i.e. efficiency of processes employed in the implementation of the project and ensuring the quality of the end-product, So that the product is “fit for use” and covers all the needs of user and its cost effectiveness. PMBOK recommends suggests employing quality planning, assurance and control for quality implementation of the project. In simple terms it is necessary to produce a quality product that the projects are being run with quality. That is why experts of the fields believe that quality of project guarantees the quality of end-product (Windmüller, 2013).
The Purpose of this research paper is to become informed and aware of the safety requirements of x -ray equipment there is, to protect the safety of the public and imaging professional’s by improving the technical aspect of radiology technology.
“Perform Quality Assurance (QA)- 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” (Project Management Institute, 2013, p. 227). The task begins with development and continues to
Automating process controls to ensure systems correctly process and record information. (FFIEC IT Examination Handbook InfoBase - Design Phase., n.d.). Quality management techniques that improve quality assessments include error detection, process control, and process design. These processes detect missing values, improve recurring errors, and help optimize effeciency. (Even, A., & Shankaranarayanan, G., 2009).
Project Quality Management – identifying and following quality requirements, and audit the results to ensure quality control measurements to provide a quality product/service.
There are four control process steps and they are: establishing standards; training personnel; monitoring performance; and taking corrective action. Each of these four steps play a role in purchasing, receiving and storage of food for my restaurant. These steps need to be looked at when you are running a business because it makes it a lot easier when buying stuff for your restaurant and it gives you rules to set out for people who are doing it. These control process make it clear on what needs to be done and where they need to be done. These processes are all one and without all them there is no control. WE use them to get things done and to make things easier and clearer when you are training and ordering product.
Implementation of excellent quality comes with a cost. The company must decide if it is really worth compromising the quality for revenue. If the quality costs exceeds the expected revenue of the company then the company must abandon implementing quality control mechanism. If otherwise, the quality would contribute to the product value and hence the revenue.
