What Is It?
A Quality Management Plan (QMP) is a formal document that defines how quality will be managed, measured, and maintained throughout a project. It ensures that the final deliverables meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
Key Components
📌 Quality Objectives – Defines what quality means for the project.
📌 Standards & Guidelines – Outlines industry standards (e.g., ISO, Six Sigma).
📌 Quality Control Measures – Methods to verify quality (inspections, testing).
📌 Corrective Actions – Steps to take if quality issues arise.
Example in Practice
A construction firm’s QMP ensures that all materials used in a bridge project meet government safety regulations. If materials fail quality checks, suppliers must replace them immediately to prevent structural risks.
Why It’s Important?
✔ Prevents costly rework and delays due to quality issues.
✔ Ensures consistent project outcomes across different teams.
✔ Enhances client satisfaction and brand reputation.
