5 Quality Management Plan


5.1 Purpose and Scope of this plan
This Quality Management Plan (QMP) and the broader Project Management System describes the strategic
and methodological management approach to be used by WFC for the delivery of the project. The Quality
Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Contract and AS/NZS ISO
9001.
The QMP forms part of the Project Management Systems and Controls. It is a part of the suite of the plans
that together outline how the project will be managed to ensure an integrated approach to meeting contract
requirements.
The other Management plans that interface with the Quality Management Plan include:
 Traffic and Transport Management Plan
 Safety Management Plan
 Risk Management Plan
 Design Engineering Management Plan
 Project Management Plan

Doc No: BST-WFC-QA-PLN-00001 Rev: 0 Page 7 of 34


QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Westforce Construction
The QMP outlines the policies, procedures, objectives and strategies that will be implemented to demonstrate
how risks affecting quality on the project are being managed and to ensure quality is successfully managed in
accordance with the contract as specified in the Contract.
The preparation of the Quality Management Plan is not merely to satisfy PTA requirements, but to ensure that
the WFC project team considers and discusses how they will deliver the project and by its documentation
conveys this to all stakeholders.
This QMP describes the specific quality controls that will be implemented on the project to deliver a quality
product to PTA. This plan is designed around the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle of control and improvement
to meet the project requirements and satisfy the requirements of AS/NZS ISO 9001.

Figure 1: Plan Do Check Act Cycle

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

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.

company’s operations, with processes being undertaken ‘Right First Time’ with defects / waste eradicated
from operations. In such an environment, employees have a high degree of involvement and ownership in
their work. To foster an environment where involvement, continuous improvement and teamwork flourish,
managers are encouraged to:
 treat employees as valued team members
 actively seek ideas on problems and solutions from all people in the work place
 empower people to make decisions and implement solutions
 push decision making down to the lowest possible level
