Q

Cost of quality (COQ)

A

Includes all costs incurred over the life of the product by investment in preventing nonconformance to requirements, appraising the product or service for conformance to requirements, and failing to meet requirements. Failure cost can be internal or extern all and they are also called the cost of poor quality.

Quality assurance falls under the conformance work category.

21
Q

Cost of conformance

A

Includes prevention costs in appraisal costs. This is money spent during the project to avoid failures.

22
Q

Cost of nonconformance

A

This includes internal failure costs and external failure costs. This is money spent during and after the project because of failures.

23
Q

Seven Basic Quality Tools

A

Cause-and-effect diagrams - aka fish bone diagrams. Helps to trace back to the root cause.
Flowcharts - aka process maps. Display the sequence of steps and branching possibilities that exist for a process that transforms one more inputs into outputs
Check sheets - aka tally sheets. Used to organize fax to facilitate collection of useful data about a potential quality problem. Especially useful for gathering attributes data during inspections to identify defects.
Pareto diagrams. | Charts that are used to identify the vital sources that are responsible for causing most of the problems effects.
Histograms. Used to describe the central tendency dispersion and shape of a statistical distribution
Control charts. Used to determine whether or not a process a stable or has predictable performance.
Scatter diagrams aka correlation charts. Used to explain the change in the dependent variable in relationship to a change observed in the corresponding independent variable.

24
Q

Benchmarking

A

Involves comparing actual plant project practices to those of comparable projects to identify best practices

25
Q

Design of experiments

A

Statistical method for identifying which factors may implement specific variables of a product or process under development or in production

26
Q

Statistical sampling

A

Choosing part of a population of interest for inspection

27
Q

Additional quality planning tools

A

Brainstorming
Force Field analysis
Nominal group technique
Quality management and control tools

28
Q

Quality Management Plan

A

Part of the project management plan that describes how the organization’s quality policies will be implemented and how the project management team plans to meet the quality requirements for the project

29
Q

Process improvement plan

A

Part of the project management plan
Details the steps for analyzing project management and product development processes to identify activities that enhance the value

Process boundaries
Process configuration
Process metrics
Targets for improved performance

30
Q

Quality metrics

A

Specifically describe a project or product attributes and how the control quality process will Measure it

Examples include on-time performance, cost control, defect frequency, failure rate, availability, reliability, and test coverage

31
Q

Quality checklists

A

Structured tool, usually component specific, cues to verify that a set of required steps has been performed

32
Q

Project document updates from Plan Quality Management

A

33
Q

Quality Control Measurements

A

The results of control quality activities. There used to analyze and about with the quality of the processes of the project against the standards of the performing organization or the requirements for specified.

34
Q

Quality management and control tools

A

Affinity diagrams. Similar to mind mapping, these are used to generate ideas that can be linked to formally organized patterns of thought about a problem.
Process decision program charts (PDPC). Used understand a goal in relation to the steps for getting to the goal. Useful for contingency planning.
Interrelationship diagraphs. Adaptation of relationship diagrams. They provide a process for creative problem-solving and moderately complex scenarios that possess intertwined logical relationships are up to 50 relevant items.
Tree diagrams-aka systematic diagrams. Maybe used to represent decomposition hierarchies such as the WBS, RBS, and OBS. Useful and visualizing the parent to child relationships in any decomposition hierarchy that uses a systematic set of rules to find a nesting relationship.
Prioritization matrices. Identify key issues and suitable alternatives to be prioritized as a set of decisions for implementation.
Activity network diagrams. These include AOA (activity on arrow) and AON (activity on node). Used for PERT, CPM, and PDM
Matrix diagrams. Used to perform data analysis within the organizational structure created in the matrix. Shows strength of relationships between factors causes and objectives.
