Mr. Nguyen Trung Kien made a research which primary objective was to study the application of Quality Management System (QMS) of Project Owner in a construction project from design to construction phase.
Conclusion
In general, most of the requirements of quality system have been covered and presented in the existing system. However, it was revealed that problems such as missing contract review, improper coordination and communication, lack of the process control, control of quality records and the inspection status monitoring during the course of work are the reasons that caused major problems to owner and caused schedule delay and generating V.O.
In addition, findings showed that there were problems with decision inconsistency relating to quality on job site caused rework and schedule delay. Obviously, besides the reason of work procedures, it would also be the reasons of different quality level and quality perception. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the internal quality audit and provide training at different position in order to gain the same level of quality perception in the project team.
The causes and the consequences that generated by these missing processes are summarized in the table below.
The complete QMS would be achieved if the missing requirements as mentioned above should be added in the existing Quality Management System. Aside from that, the quality culture in organization should be set-up so that the Company can reach the Total Quality Management.His thesis abstract is copied and posted.
