QMPs for Large D-B & D-B-B Projects Brown Bag “… If it is signed by George Little, then it is a requirement not a guideline.” (Bill Raleigh 2012) Quote Project Quality Management Plan is: • An extension of our internal protocols • Tailored to meet project requirements • Contract requirement FTA Denver RTD D-B QMP is a Project Requirement COMPANY LEVEL PROJECT LEVEL We typically refer to our internal QC processes as “QC Reviews”. At the project level, we distinguish between Checks and Reviews. • Detail Checking • Constructability Review • Crossdisciplinary Review • Technical Review Company vs. Project • Quality Statement - “Quality is the responsibility of each person working on the Project” • Quality Goal - “… produce deliverables in a well-defined and systematic fashion that meet the contract requirements” • Quality Objectives - training, submittal reviews, etc. Design Quality Management Plan ISO Compliant • Narrative • Appendices ISO Certified Design Control Procedures Forms and Tools List of Deliverables FTA Compliant Design Quality Management Plan Design Control Procedures o DCPR-01 Quality Records o DCPR-02 Checking of Reports and Studies o DCPR-03 Checking of Calculations o DCPR-04 Independent Design Check o DCPR-05 Checking of Drawings o DCPR-06 Checking of Input to Computer Programs o DCPR-07 Checking of Special Provisions o DCPR-08 Spreadsheet Checking o DCPR-09 Revisions to Released for Construction Documents o DCPR-10 Computer Software o DCPR-11 Constructability and Cross Disciplinary Reviews o DCPR-12 Quality Control Reviews o DCPR-13 Design Quality Assurance Audits o DCPR-14 As-Built Documents o DCPR-15 Corrective and Preventive Actions o DCPR-16 Parallel Model Checking More on the way! Design Quality Management Plan • Not performed until production toward a milestone is complete. • Checker is independent of the Originator. • Checker shall not have developed any portion of the deliverable being checked. • Our work needs to be readable. • Be clear what the intent is. • Spelling counts! Detail Checking oh, so that is an “H” First Page Only: Design Package No. or Description No. Date CHECK PRINT Dwg. Only: Checked against calcs. and calc. check confirmed by _________ Date ________ Originator Date Checker Date Backchecker Date Updater Date Rechecker Date The Checker and Rechecker must be independent from the Originator, Backchecker and Updater. The Checker and Rechecker do not have to be the same person, but it is preferred, Originator, Checker and Backchecker always required. Updater and Rechecker based on Checker’s red lines. • Rechecker must confirm the edit on a hard copy! Detail Checking A color coding system is used for marking on a Check Print to identify various actions to be taken and to identify the various stages of the checking process. We can tailor to a client requirement or project preference, but our internal color coding is: Yellow is used by the Checker to indicate agreement. Red is used by the Checker to mark-up corrections, changes and additions. Red is also used by the Backchecker to indicate approval (√) or disapproval (x) of Checker's mark-ups. Yellow is also used by the Updater to indicate that changes to the original drawing have been made. Green checkmark (√) is used by the Rechecker to verify that the changes made to the original drawing are correct. A green checkmark (√) is used by the Rechecker to verify that the changes agreed not to be made are not made. ***** Blue or (blue) cloud is used for non-record comments or instructions. ***** Non-record questions, for example, need to be answered in blue. If there is an action by the Backchecker, Updater and Rechecker, then the QC process is followed on the comment. If the comment results in a “significant” correction or addition to the document, then a check print with the change specifically checked is required. The same color coding is used for all documents and by all members of the design team. QC CHECK PRINT COLOR CODING SYSTEM The Contractor can help see problems: Constructability Reviews Looking for conflicts (CDR, DCR, IDR) Crossdisciplinary Reviews Project Requirements; Standard of Care; Industry Standard. (TQR, IQR & QCR) Technical Reviews “There aren’t any utilities on that side of the road; so put the pole wherever you want”. Responses are Important “Just do what it shows on the drawing!” Responses are Important DQCM will: • Create DQMP • Perform review of QC Documentation • Review submittal prior to submittal • Certify QC performed per DQMP • Perform internal audits, report the results and resolve nonconformances May be required to have ASQ, or equal, Certification Quality Assurance Don’t beat yourself up; there is a reason we perform checks and reviews.
