Project Quality Management

In 1998-99, Qualeng assisted with the preparation and operation of a Management System for a $600 million project in the oil and gas industry. 130 staff were employed in this fast track project which had to achieve key results within 6 months of its inception.

The quality management input involved the coordination of management plans, procedures, training and auditing of the different design disciplines operating on the project. A new approach had to be taken to provide control and coordination across the office, and manage the large volume of design documents handled through the intranet, and the traditional document control systems.

Further assistance was also provided in the review of specifications, in technical and quality review of supplier' bids and in the assessment of suppliers' facilities.

An electronic management systems introduced was to support the management system. The new systems were thoroughly tested, and the audit was passed with no nonconformance's.
