Project Quality Plan (PQP)
What is a PQP ?
A written plan that details how you will manage quality on a specific project A document which describes the processes, activities and resources that will be put into place to ensure that quality deliverables are produced
Definition of PQP in ISO 9000 :2005
A document that describe how the quality management system is applied to a specific product, project or contract; such documents are referred to as quality plans ISO9000:2005 ,Clause 2.7.2 (Types of documents used in QMS )

Structure of PQP
1. Scope:
Examples Statement of purpose Aspects of project etc. etc. Scope should be clearly stated
2.
Quality Objectives: PQP should state project quality objectives Should be established in relation to quality characteristics of project Should be SMART Management Responsibilities: Identify individuals on project who are responsible for ensuring that the activities required for project are planned, implemented & being monitored.
3.
Structure of PQP
4. Control of Documents: Should state how the documents required for the project will be identified Document distribution
5.
Resource Management: Identification of resources needed for the successful execution of project This includes material, machinery and manpower Infrastructure & work environment
6. Communication: Communication with customer Means to be used for customer communication Records to be kept of customer communication
7. Design and development: To be included if design is in project scope
Structure of PQP
Other activities may include: 8. Purchasing
9.
Control of design change
10. Identification & traceability 11. Control of non conforming products 12. Monitoring and measurement 13. Audits
Why do we need PQP?
Requirement of Descon Quality Management System Planning of Product Realization starts with the preparation of project Quality and HSE plans for each new project
In planning product realization the Organization determines:
Preparation of PQP (Project Quality Plan) and HSE Plan DIMS Manual ,Clause 7.1, Planning of product realization
To show how the organizations QMS applies to the project To meet customer requirements To demonstrate internally / externally, how quality requirement will be met
Effective implementation of PQP
1. Identification of required inputs and development of PQP as per project requirements
2.
3.
Distribution of quality plan
Internal / External monitoring for the conformity with the quality plan
Reviews
Audits
4. Training 5. Revision of Project Quality Plan
6. Feedback and Improvement
Benefits of implementation of PQP
1. 2. 3. High level of compliance Increased confidence that requirements will be met Greater assurance that processes are in control
4. Insight into opportunity of improvement
PQP Some facts
1. PQP can be prepared whether or not organization has conformity with ISO 9001 standard 2. PQP primarily focused on product realization and not to organizational quality management system 3. PQP can referred to appropriate documented procedures or other documents 4. A client may specify requirements for the quality plan

Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
What is a QIP ?
Quality Inspection Plans (QIP) is the minimum requirement of the activities for quality control and inspection of the field construction work. This inspection and testing plan outline the extent of witness inspection and its reporting. OR
A document detailing a systematic approach for testing. This document typically contains a detailed understanding of what the inspection workflow will be. OR
An Inspection and Test Plan identifies the work to be inspected or tested, at what stage it will be tested, as well as Hold and Witness Points, references to relevant standards, acceptance criteria and the records to be maintained.

Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Scope of QIP:
Quality Inspection Plans (QIP) lists down the following in a single document
and identifies:
Inspection and Test Activity. Inspection and Test Frequency.
Acceptance Criteria.
Verifying Documents. Inspection Codes.
Inspection Parties Involved.
Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Classification of QIPs :
In DESCON, usually QIPs are classified as follows :
For Civil works. For Mechanical works. For E & I works.
These QIPs are further prepared discipline wise as subclasses ( e.g. QIPs for
civil can be subdivided separately for Piling works, Earth works etc).
Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Inspection Codes
QIPs require following inspection codes :
H= hold point;
defines a point beyond which work may not proceed without the authorization of a designated QC personnel or authority.
Layout after excavation Formwork Pressure testing in piping works
W=witness point
is a point in a construction activity where inspection must take place. On a case by case basis, the inspection witnessing may be waived. In this case, inspection may proceed without attendance. However, inspection data must be recorded and submitted for review and approval.
Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Inspection Codes
R=review point is a point in a construction activity where any document is
submitted for review or comment
S= surveillance point; Intermittent monitoring of any stage of the work in
progress (whether internal or customer).
Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Inspection as per QIP
Inspections as per QIPS are carried out as follows :
QC personnel shall perform quality control checks, tests and
inspections in accordance with the inspection intervention requirements documented in Contractors company approved ITP
to verify the product meets stated ( and implied) needs.
Such checks, tests and inspections shall be undertaken & the
product verified as a acceptable prior to requesting attendance of Contractor via issuance of an Request For Inspection (RFI).
Why do we need QIP?
Descon Quality Management System requirement In planning product realization, the Organization determines: The required verification, validation, monitoring, inspection and test activities specific to product/project and the criteria for acceptance. DIMS Manual ,Clause 7.1, Planning of product realization ISO 9001 requirement
In planning product realization, the organization shall determine the following:
Required verification, validation, monitoring, measurement, inspection and test activities specific to the product and the criteria for product acceptance; Records needed to provide evidence that the realization processes and resulting product meet requirements ISO 9001:2008,Clause 7.1 (c & d), Planning of product realization
Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Need of QIP
As 100% inception and testing in most cases is neither practical nor possible , it is necessary to adopt a testing frequency. Inspections are often done after a number of activities mostly on critical ones. Therefore QIPs are used in determining the type and extent of inspections and documenting the test results for these critical activities accordingly. These approved QIPs are also easier to determine as they are usually specified and identify particular stages requiring inspections and testing.
Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Effective Implementation of QIP
Major causes for ineffective implementation of QIPs at site :
Latest Revision of Approved Documents : Usually at project
sites, the major issue is the non availability of latest approved drawings/ drawings. For effective implementation of QIPs, latest approved drawings should be available with all latest revisions.
IMTEs : Use of only calibrated IMTEs must be ensured
Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Effective Implementation of QIP
Major causes for ineffective implementation of QIPs at site :
Materials Approvals: Lab reports for materials inspections with
proper TPI (if required or mentioned in QIP) should be available.
Internal Inspection Points Clearance : QC personnel usually
make sure the all the activities incorporating H are cleared as per set standard procedure, whereas for effective implementation of QIP, standard procedure must be followed for inspection codes like W or S.
Quality Inspection Plan (QIP)
Effective Implementation of QIP
Major causes for ineffective implementation of QIPs at site :
NCR : For effective implementation of quality /QIP, if any non
conformance is observed at any stage during the inspection, NCR must be raised and reported immediately.
QIPs
Effective Implementation of QIP
Major causes for ineffective implementation of QIPs at site :
Proper Plan/ Checklist for Inspection and Testing: Note down
the key aspects of checklist as follows for effective use of QIP for inspection:
Check whether the QIP is covering all the relevant
activities of the discipline
Are the verification documents are properly referred Are all related the formats/ records legible, readily
identifiable
QIPs
Effective Implementation of QIP
Major causes for ineffective implementation of QIPs at site :
Proper Plan/ Checklist for Inspection and Testing: (Cont.)
Is the Inspection code identified for each activity? Are these QIPs updated to reflect the changes, if any, to the
clients needs?
Do this QIP defines the complete acceptance criterion for
inspection and testing.
