Book Synopsis Project Quality Management by : Sui Pheng Low
Download or read book Project Quality Management written by Sui Pheng Low and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the development of the Construction Quality Assessment System (CONQUAS), Singapore’s de facto quality performance measurement system, explains the application of the Quality Management System (QMS) to manage CONQUAS and identifies 33 critical success factors (CSFs) for achieving high CONQUAS scores. Through CONQUAS, the reader benefits from understanding how the Singapore government developed and implemented the first objective system for measuring what many building professionals have perceived to be elusive quality standards in the construction industry. The book presents both the theoretical concepts as well as the practical aspects to achieving strategic Project Quality Management that is anchored on the CSFs to building best practices. To realistically reflect the practical aspects and challenging issues faced by stakeholders in the construction industry, questionnaire surveys were conducted with building professionals to distinguish the importance level and extent of adoption of the 33 CSFs (identified from a comprehensive review of the extant literature) in influencing and affecting the achievement of high CONQUAS scores. These were further anchored by in-depth interviews with quality experts in the Singapore construction industry to provide a better understanding of issues relating to strategic Project Quality Management. Collectively, the empirical findings collated from the building professionals suggest that while the CSFs identified are known tenets of quality, these were still not being followed in their totality. A further case study was conducted through a formal set of in-depth interviews with the quality assurance team of a construction company who has direct involvement before, during and after their tremendous improvements in the CONQUAS scores attained. The strength of this book therefore represents a true account and reflections of real-life practices and experiences in the construction industry for contractors, quality managers and policy-makers to learn from. Although the context of this book relates to the Singapore experience, the lessons and recommendations are equally relevant and applicable to the global construction industry in both the developing and developed countries whose stakeholders (in both the public and private sectors) wish to understand how CONQUAS works, and how the CSFs identified can likewise be implemented for strategic Project Quality Management to building best practices. The book is therefore of interests to researchers, academia and practitioners in the construction industry as well as in other sectors of the economy (in Singapore and other countries) where learning points may be used for enhancing project quality management for buildings.

Book Synopsis Total Quality in the Construction Supply Chain by : John S Oakland
Download or read book Total Quality in the Construction Supply Chain written by John S Oakland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-11 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations in the construction industry struggle with three key issues: quality management or better meeting customer expectations, supply chain management or more effectively working with suppliers to provide a seamless service to customers, and knowledge management, the challenge of learning between collaborating organisations and between people working on similar projects around the world. Excellence in these key aspects of business is the hallmark of great companies. This book tackles each of these themes, demonstrating their significance as strategic concepts for the construction sector and illustrating how development goals in each of the areas can be met. To be successful Total Quality has to impact on the organisation’s Performance, which should be measured on a “balanced scorecard”, including the results from the customer. This can be achieved through good Planning and improvements in Processes through involvement of the People. These 4Ps combine with the 4Cs – Customer, Culture, Communication and Commitment to provide a model for implementing total quality into construction. The book brings together, within this consistent theoretical framework, international case studies from all areas of the construction industry. These include examples as diverse as quarrying, construction, design, real estate, land development and regulatory agencies, drawn from the UK, USA, Hong Kong, Singapore Australia and Japan. Through these the authors demonstrate how a total quality or business excellence strategy can be applied in all activities in the construction supply chain to achieve world-class performance. Written by two of the world's leading experts, in a logical and very practical style, Total Quality in the Construction Supply Chain offers students and others new to the subject a clearly structured introduction to the concept of quality in the industry, while offering help and guidance to the most experienced professionals. The book should also appeal to people from all areas of the building and construction sector in any country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total Quality Management (TQM) is becoming an ever so essential element of business operations. Applications of TQM concepts are sought by companies seeking to improve the quality of the products or services they offer. In Lebanon, TQM is still a innovative science in the world of management. Companies are trying to implement the concepts of TQM in all aspects of their daily operations in order to ensure quality products or services that would help increase overall business perfomance. The project starts with an introduction of the concept of TQM along with discussion of related concepts introduced by Quality Gurus. An insight in to ISO and the most common ISO applications in Lebanon follow, in addition to the introduction of Lebanese Standards Institution (LIBNOR). The main constructs of TQM, which will constitute the base of this study, are discussed along with the research objectives and methodology. Case study of a Lebanese company is then presented, discussing the results of personal interview conducted with the CEO of the company. These results will be compared to the concepts presented by TQM leaders in order to obtain a notion of the status of the company and the percentage of applicability of a TQM system in it.
