Opis

The quality principles are one of the golden threads of successful management that run through the entire life of a project - and beyond. Principles of Management for Quality Projects gives practical insights into the use of the quality principles in day to day project issues. It also gives the project quality manager a tool that he or she can refer to when planning and executing the quality process in a project, right from the earliest conceptual phases through to finalising the commissioning and operating of the facility. The text discusses the underlying principles of quality that are applicable to project management and then discusses their application to the typical project activities of each phase of a project; written from a project approach point of view. The book discusses the major activities of planning, design, cost engineering and human resources; gives a matrix, which relates the main activities of each phase of a typical project to the people who are usually responsible for or affected by that particular activity. Principles of Management for Quality Projects looks at the major activities that are common to most projects and lifts out both pertinent, and the less obvious quality aspects that are often overlooked by managers and consultants. Many of the quality related problems in projects do not have their roots in technical issues, but rather in management style approach and especially oversights or omissions. Hence, this book brings a modern management perspective to the achievement of quality in projects.
