4 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

4.1 General Requirements


To provide a structure to enable Derlin Construction Ltd to continue to satisfy its clients
requirements and continually improve its performance, a documented quality management
system (QMS) has been implemented that satisfies the requirements of ISO 9001:2008.
The QMS addresses the 23 requirements of ISO 9001: 2008 within a structured
management system to bring about improvements in the commercial service provided to
clients, in the health and safety of staff and other parties and in the environmental impact
of the business. Railway specific Health and Safety Requirements are included in the
QMS (see PR12). However, there is a stand alone Health and Safety Policy and set of
detailed Arrangements for Health and Safety that is managed independently of the QMS
and updated by a specialist body, The Health and Safety People.

QMS requirements are arranged and managed as a system as follows in an improvement


cycle based on the PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT principle:

Quality Policy Manual QM-2006 D

Process links.
The way that each of these processes are controlled and monitored is described in the
relevant Quality Procedures to ensure that the inputs and outputs are consistent with
specified requirements and encompass any statutory or regulatory requirements.

A full list of Quality Management System procedures and process diagrams is given in
Appendix A of this manual.

The sequence and interaction between each of the business processes is outlined in the
flowchart below and in more detail within the operational procedures.

A detailed process map of the Quality Management System is maintained by the Quality
Manager.
Quality Management Flow Chart CP1

The diagram shown below in Fig 2 illustrates some of the main links between processes.
Each core business processes can be seen as the activities that use inputs, for example
materials, equipment and trained staff for the realization of outputs required by clients.
That is the final construction work and service provided.

Exceptions to the standard


The company does not make use of inspection, monitoring and measuring devices,
section 7.6. It has only a minimal involvement in design processes 7.3.

4.2 General

4.2.1 Documentation requirements


Quality management system documentation is fully described in this quality policy manual.
The comprehensive documented quality procedures and process flow charts referred to,
have been produced to reflect the interaction of key processes.
In addition to the mandatory procedures, other procedures have been developed and
maintained to effectively control business activities.
Documentation is focussed on common and repeated activities that can be managed as a
process, leaving managers and staff to address rare and special incidents through non
standard arrangements as appropriate. It is common for Clients to define their own
management requirements and to provide relevant standard forms and instructions.
Obviously these are adhered to for the relevant projects. A common theme within the
QMS documentation is that requirements and issues are identified according to business
risk as either high, medium or low priority. This assists management activity and reduces
bureaucracy that can result from a one size fits all approach.
4.2.2 Quality manual
The quality policy manual, has eight sections using the same references as the standard,
with sub-sections referencing quality procedures (See Appendix A for list of PRs).
Relevant working documents and forms are referenced in the procedures. Reference is
also made to the Health and Safety Policy and Arrangements. It should be noted that
these are comprehensive documents and are managed as a stand alone Health and
Safety system with the assistance of an external specialist.
4.2.3 Control of documents - general
The company recognises that essential documents and data supporting the quality
management system should be defined, controlled and maintained for ease of access and
future analysis.
All Quality Documents are identified by a revision number, approved, issued and
controlled by the Quality Manager.
Changes to controlled documents and procedures are recorded and approved before
implementation.
The Quality Manager keeps a master list of current procedures, work instructions and
associated forms and working documents .
List of Quality Documents QD1
A record of external documents received by the company is kept and maintained by the
Quality Manager.
The company practices good I.T. control over the deployment of electronic media and
observes the agreed disciplines to protect essential data.
Document & Data Control Procedure PR10

Quality records are kept to demonstrate that agreed requirements and specifications have
been met throughout operational processes.
A procedure details the locations, responsibilities and defined storage times for records.

reviews, influencing improvements in the system. These materials are stored in a manner
to protect them from deterioration and are readily retrievable for system audit as required.

Feedback from the Quality Objectives is to be fed back to the monthly management
meeting were it will be processed for improvement and trend analysis.

A major requirement under ISO 9001:2008 is the establishment and fostering of a culture
of continual improvement within all levels of the company, with a proven system to record
and monitor such improvement.

Another fundamental building block of the standard is the commitment of senior


management to Customer care and satisfaction, and how top management focuses and
strives to improve its relationship with it’s Clients.

5.4.2 Quality management system planning


The company has identified key activities necessary to achieve continual improvement in
the quality management system.
Quality Planning is an integral part of the quality management system.
Quality planning is required for all activities and is a natural part of project management
and administration.
The ethos of Quality Planning under ISO 9001:2008 is the requirement of senior
management to strive for continual improvement at all levels of the company.
Quality Planning shall be reviewed at the Monthly Management meetings.

Quality Planning for specific projects shall include the preparation of quality plans relevant
to each contract.

For projects where Derlin’s are the Principle Contractor, i.e. Local Authority and Housing
