At Meltham Station:
o Take existing station car park arrangements into consideration of overall parking strategy.
PLAN: These are the activities that WFC would undertake up front on a project, to ensure that we deliver the
Contract, Client and Project requirements the first time - e.g. Establishing the quality objectives, control of
documents, organisation roles and responsibilities, subcontractor’s quality system, drawings management etc.
DO: These are activities that WFC undertake during the execution of the Project, to implement what was
planned - e.g. Maintenance and archiving of quality records, quality reporting and review.
CHECK: These are activities that WFC undertake to confirm the conformance of an aspect of the project by
studying the actual results (measured and collected in “DO” above) and compare against the expected results
(targets or goals from the “PLAN”) to ascertain any differences, - e.g. Non- Conformances, Defect
Management System, inspections, and surveillance of subcontractors.
ACT: These are activities that WFC would undertake to review effectiveness and improve performance as
necessary - e.g. Auditing and analysis of data.
WFC's systems are founded on the tried and tested WFC quality management methodology which is third-
party accredited to AS/NZS ISO9001. This Quality Management Plan outlines the processes relating to the
delivery of the project.
This QMP has been developed to establish the project objectives for the delivery of the project.
Health and Safety (HSP) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP), whilst integrated, have been developed
to address the project's specific requirements and risks.
5.2 Inputs to the QMP
In principle this Quality Management Plan (QMP) has been developed in accordance with the following
contract documents:
Scope of Works and Technical Criteria (SWTC)
PTA Specifications - Quality Systems
Doc No: BST-WFC-QA-PLN-00001 Rev: 0 Page 8 of 34
QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Westforce Construction
6 Quality Management System
The WFC QMS has been developed in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 9001 and is independently certified by
British Standards Institute (BSI).
WFC QMS is maintained on the company server, approved Processes set the minimum operational
requirements for all employees. The processes define the direct instruction or must-do activities. Where
required for clarity, or should more information be required to apply the procedure direction, there will be an
associated guideline to provide a more detail on process.
The processes provide access to procedures and supporting documentation. Employees are required to check
the WFC server regularly for current revisions of documents.
Within WFC, there is a series of gateways that require mandatory authorisations to proceed:
Gateway 1 – Interest
Gateway 2 – Bid
Gateway 3 – Offer
Gateway 4 – Sign
Gateway 5 – Start
Gateway 6 – Construct
Gateway 7 – Complete
Gateway 8 – Close
Gateway 9 – Review
Gateway 10 – Change.
Project-specific documents must be approved by the Project Director before incorporation into the project
management plans. Modification of standard company documents is not allowed without the written approval
of the process owner.
WFC shall ensure this QMP is developed in accordance with PTA Requirements and is adhered to by all internal
personnel and suppliers/subcontractors.
6.1 Quality Policy
The Quality Policy, which has been signed and endorsed by WFC Managing Director, are to be displayed in
main project office, see Appendix A for the current Quality Policy at the time of submission of this plan.
6.2 Project Start-up Quality Planning
During the Project Start-up, the Project Director or his delegate will liaise with the Health Safety Environmental
Quality Manager HSEQM to ensure that:
All WFC Project Start Up and Mobilisation ‘Quality’ activities have been completed;
Specifications are analysed and quality deliverables are identified and managed;
A detailed project specific Quality Management Plan is created and approved by PTA;
A HSEQ Manager is nominated, developed, supported and their quality responsibilities included in their
project specific roles and responsibilities; and
Project Quality IT Systems for Document Management, Records Management and Construction
Management are configured and implemented.
To have all WFC personnel complete the 100% induction attendance for all Monthly Review
Project induction personnel working on WFC.
All Critical Suppliers and subcontractors 100 % Pre-qualification assessments Monthly Review
that tendered post contract award are undertaken for all
assessed and approved for use on the suppliers/subcontractors
project. (Supply relevant items which form
part of the Permanent Scope Works)
Ensure all NCRs / corrective actions are 100% NCRs and corrective actions to Monthly Review
investigated and addressed effectively as be closed out by subcontractors and
identified in SWTC. WFC within the agreed timeframes.
Those NCR's that require specific time
frames shall be specified in the NCR.
Submission of Contract Deliverables All Quality Contract Deliverables are Monthly Review
available to PTA prior to
commencement of the activity.
For any significant actions, an action plan may be compiled detailing the issues raised and actions being taken
to mitigate or rectify the issue, who is responsible to action, and a target date. This process will be monitored
by the HSEQ Manager.
Minutes of the management reviews shall be maintained and the HSEQ Manager shall identify appropriate
actions to be taken.
The Quality Management System is also periodically reviewed at a business level. These reviews will focus on
both internal and external influences that impact the overall quality management system. Where necessary,
changes or modifications to the systems documentation will be communicated. Approved modifications and
improvements resulting from reviews are incorporated into the management system and communicated
throughout the organisation to promote consistent, best practice standards and continual improvements
across all operations. The HSEQ Manager will monitor any changes to requirements and make necessary
changes to the Quality Management System.
6.5 Quality Reporting
PTA may review Quality documentation on request. Quality shall be discussed as a meeting agenda item at
the Monthly Contractor meeting.
The meeting may discuss the following items as and when required:
review and report on the Quality Management Plan including details with respect to quality
management performance.
a summary of the inspection and testing of products and services associated with the Project Works
during the preceding month;
results of corrective action or improvements taken on the quality system since the last meeting;
a schedule of all outstanding non-conformances, identifying which non-conformances have been closed
out; and
a summary of quality reviews and audits (internal and external) undertaken by the Contractor during the
preceding month.
