The document discusses integrating constructability, quality management systems (QMS), and just-in-time (JIT) principles on construction projects. It explains that constructability reviews during design can improve factors like cost, schedule, quality and safety. QMS following ISO 9000 standards help structure processes to meet client requirements. Integrating JIT waste reduction with QMS can improve productivity and quality. Bringing constructability, QMS and JIT principles together in a project provides benefits like fewer delays, disruptions and costs.

Constructability is the integration of
expertise into all phases of the project.
For Improving factors such as:
Cost
Schedule
Quality
Profitability
Safety
Customer satisfaction
and overall objectives.

4. IMPLEMENTING PROJECTIMPLEMENTING PROJECT

The proper use of the knowledge gained
by participants such as:
Managers
Designers/Production Managers
Site shop floor and on site workers
Other contributors
Learning from their past experience
increases the level of productivity and
overall success.

5. IMPLEMENTING PROJECTIMPLEMENTING PROJECT
CONSTRUCTABILITYCONSTRUCTABILITY
Constructability must be used at key
points in the project life cycle. This
includes:
in the planning phase;
early in the design phase;
prior to the procurement phase;
prior to the mobilization phase for
construction.

6. IMPLEMENTING PROJECTIMPLEMENTING PROJECT

Constructability process considers a
detailed review of:
Design drawings;
Models;
Specifications;
and construction processes.

7. IMPLEMENTING PROJECTIMPLEMENTING PROJECT

The purpose of the constructability review
is to identify the following items:
• Design errors (both material selection or
dimensions)
• Un clear specifications
• Unnecessary work
• Complexity that does not serve the
project objectives

8. IMPLEMENTING PROJECTIMPLEMENTING PROJECT
CONSTRUCTABILITYCONSTRUCTABILITY
• Project features-difficult and very
costly to construct.
• Project complexity- that exceed the
capability of industry to properly
build.
• Project features that are difficult to
interpret and will be hard to
accurately bid.

Steps to take:
 Identify the processes needed for the
Quality Management System
 Its application in the organization
 Its customers
 Determine the sequence and interaction
of these processes
 Determine the criteria and methods
required to ensure that the operation
runs well

10. QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(QMS)QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(QMS)
Determine the criteria and methods
required to ensure that controls of these
processes are effective.
Ensure that the necessary resources,
information necessary to support the
operation are in place.
Make sure monitoring of these processes
will be provided.
Set up systems to monitor measure and
analyse the processes.

12. QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(QMS)QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(QMS)
The construction industry has embraced
the ISO 9000 standard since its inception.
The QMS has become the benchmark for
successful construction companies.
The QMS has also become the
benchmarking for successful construction
companies worldwide.

13. QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(QMS)QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(QMS)
QMS has helped many companies to
structure their management and
processes to consistently meet the
client’s requirements.

14. QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(QMS)QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(QMS)
The eight Quality Management Principles
stated in ISO 9000:2000 and ISO
9004:2000 provide the basis for the
performance improvement.
Focusing on the Customer to increase
revenue and market share.
 Choose Effective Leaders to motivate
the organization towards achieving
organisational goals.

 Involving People to become:
1.Innovative
2.Creative
3.Accountable
 Understanding Processes. This will help
to define activities necessary to obtain a
desirable result.
 Valuing a Systems Approach-Structuring a
system to achieve the organisation's
objectives in the most effective and
efficient way.

18. JIT & Quality Management SystemsJIT & Quality Management Systems
The existing quality management systems
-ISO 9000 should include JIT.
It is practical to integrate ISO 9000 (20
clauses) with the 7 JIT concepts
Successful firms are using 7 concepts of
JIT with ISO 9000 quality management
systems in order to improve their
productivity.

19. JIT & Quality Management SystemsJIT & Quality Management Systems
To have high quality product and high
productivity is a challenging task for
project management team.
All large construction companies have
already established quality management
systems within their organisation to meet
ISO 9000 requirements.
Some companies are implementing the
concepts of JIT and ISO 9000 separately.

20. JIT & Quality Management SystemsJIT & Quality Management Systems
Both ISO 9000 and JIT objectives are:
1) high productivity
2) perfect product each time and every
time.
ISO has no any clause related to project
time.
 It is a tool for productivity improvement.

Quality and productivity are inter-
related.
High quality product will eliminate repeat
work and increases productivity.
Overproduction
Long waiting times
Poor transportation schedules

Cost savings derive from:
Fewer delays.
Fewer disruptions.
Shortened duration of activities.
Less work at higher elevations.
Less material required.
Decreased likelihood of labour conflicts.

One must initially invest to earn the cost
savings from better constructability, such
as:
More effort for design and procurement.
More communication among builders,
designers, and the client.
More communication among supply
chain(including customers)

Improve constructability reduces
costs by:
Mitigating the effects of adverse site
conditions.
Implementing better design, better

Better constructability methods can
include:
• Prefabrication.
• Economies and quality via manufacturing
process.
