Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently quality improvement has been mainly applied to manufacturing. However, experience and the explosive growth of the services industry has shown that opportunities for simultaneous quality improvement must be undertaken. Today, both the Government and contractors are facing growing competitive and regulatory pressures to deliver higher quality services. In an attempt to comply with these pressures more emphasis has been placed on the inspection process and subsequently on the contract administration sections as they are tasked to develop and apply efficient procedures for quality assurance. The research indicated that there are four factors that influence service quality. These factors are: the Quality of Assurance, the Contractor, the Statement of Work and the Performance Requirements Summary. The research concluded that the Government and contractors face the same challenges and must work together to develop a coherent policy on quality, grounded in a common language, common management principles, common standards and common goals. Keywords: Service contract quality, Quality assurance, Quality assurance evaluator, Drafting, and Administering service contracts. (EG).
Download or read book Quality Assurance in Construction written by Brian Thorpe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for quality assurance in construction is now widely accepted. As a result, pressure is currently being applied to contractors and those offering professional services to demonstrate QA capability prior to commission. This book, written by experts in the field of quality management, shows how construction companies can effectively apply QA within their own organization. It pinpoints the real benefits to be gained from developing well-structured systems and offers practical guidance on implementation techniques. Inevitably, quality management standards play an important role in helping to define the requirements of any QA system. With this in mind the authors provide a detailed analysis of ISO 9000 - 1994 and its implementation. The text is complemented by numerous diagrams and examples and is essential reading for all construction professionals concerned with quality.

Download or read book The Responsible Contract Manager written by Steven Cohen and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contract management is a critical skill for all contemporary public managers. As more government duties are contracted out, managers must learn to coordinate and measure the performance of private contractors, and to write contract requirements and elicit bids that obtain important services and products at the best possible price and quality. They must also learn to work in teams that include both public and private sector partners. The Responsible Contract Manager delves into the issues of how to ensure that the work done by private sector contractors serves the public interest and argues for the necessity of making these organizations act as extensions of the public sector while maintaining their private character. Government contract managers have a unique burden because they must develop practices that ensure the production advantages of networked organizations and the transparency and accountability required of the public sector. The Responsible Contract Manager fills a major gap in public management literature by providing a clear and practical introduction to the best practices of contract management and also includes a discussion of public ethics, governance and representation theory. It is an essential guide for all public management scholars and is especially useful for students in MPA graduate programs and related fields.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been growing pressure for consistent product quality, and a need for companies to demonstrate sound quality management practices in order to meet 'Due Diligence' requirements of both legislation and the quality assurance practices of customers. It has become accepted that operating to the requirements of the international standard for quality management - BS EN ISO 900- goes a long way towards meeting these needs. The objective of this book is to explain the requirements of the standard, to offer advice about achieving those requirements and to indicate what the assessors will look for at assessment time. It is important that certification to the standard is sought to support achievement of company objectives and not the reverse, and of course the standard can apply to organizations and services, just as much as to companies. Thus the word' company' in the text should be treated accordingly. lllustrative material has been presented under the logo of a fictiti ous company 'Quality Food Services' - in this context QFS does not bear any relationship whatsoever to any identically or similarly named business that may exist. Readers will find it helpful to read the book with a copy of the standard to hand, and are strongly encouraged to read the complete text before taking any steps to prepare for certification to the standard.
