Quality management in construction project has become essential in modern construction practices and has incorporated quality management principles and initiatives in their activities. Quality management systems such as ISO 9000 series of standards require incessant monitoring of construction processes. Many quality management tools are available for quality management in construction. Detailed analysis using these tools provides opportunities for improvements in costing and time deadline issues. Critical areas can be studied by WBS and functional unit analysis focused in the main activities. Problem solving for quality management in construction can be achieved by tools like combination of brainstorming sessions, Fishbone diagrams and Pareto analysis. It is common for a construction project to get delayed and reason for the same can be many. It is essential to analyze the various factors which contribute to the delaying a project. Doing the analysis in a scientific manner, the impact, timing and the contributing effects of each the causes for the construction project delay can be studied and prevented. The delay in construction project execution can become a burden for construction companies as they may have to pay the owners fine for the delay as per the terms of the contract. So, the analysis becomes necessary to avoid those fines.Contents:
Quality Management in Construction Project
Following are the methods to track the Project Scheduling:Gantt chart
Also Called milestones chart, project bar chart, activity chart. A Gantt chart is a bar chart that shows the tasks of a project, when each must take place and how long each will take. As the project progresses, bars are shaded to show which tasks have been completed. People assigned to each task also can be represented. When to Use:- When scheduling and monitoring tasks within a project.
- When communicating plans or status of a project.
- When the steps of the project or process, their sequence and their duration are known.
- When it’s not necessary to show which tasks depend on completion of previous tasks.
