“…The theoretical background of error management studies is often grounded in quality control theories in manufacturing such as 'six sigma' [24]. The quality control theories stress the importance of understanding and analyzing customers' needs and satisfaction in reducing errors and achieving the target quality of outcomes [25,26].…”

“…These systems are limited in that they are primarily based on the total quality control paradigm rather than total quality management . Other researchers attempted to quantify a project's cost of quality in various countries of the world (e.g., Davis et al, 1989; Burati et al, 1991 in the United States; Love et al, 1999; Love and Li, 2000a, 2000b in Australia; Nylén, 1996 in Scandinavia; and Abdul‐Rahman et al, 1996; Barber et al, 2000 in England). They also developed software systems that measure the cost of quality (Pheng, 1998; Pheng and Nguan, 2004).…”

“…This partial view is an expression of the limitations of the previous models that make use of a project's cost of quality. Detailed theoretical descriptions of existing QMSs in the construction industry are provided in other publications (e.g., Rounds and Chi, 1985; Burati et al, 1991; Oakland, 1993; Hoyle, 1994; Arditi and Gunaydin, 1997; Pheng, 1998; Sun, 2000) and practical applications (e.g., Moatazed‐Keivani et al, 1999; Barad and Raz, 2000; Chan and Tam, 2000; Hiyassat, 2000; Landin, 2000; Choi and Chin, 2000).…”

This article introduces a system called Construction Quality Management Audit (CQMA) Expert that assesses the performance of a quality management system (QMS) implemented in a construction firm. CQMA Expert is programmed by using MATLAB's GUI components and its Fuzzy Logic Toolbox. CQMA Expert's rule base is constructed using information obtained from auditors of QMSs. CQMA Expert imports the quality requirements relative to the many quality management processes specified in ISO 9000, processes audit inputs, and generates consistent decisions relative to conformance to standards. It provides an interactive user interface for recording evidence collected during the audit and clearly states the reasons for the conclusions. vestigated, and (4) it reduces the impact of the variability caused by the use of different auditors assessing different quality management processes. Case studies based on Section 4.11 of the ISO 9000 standard entitled "Control of inspection, measuring and test equipment" are used to illustrate the system and verify its usability and validity. It contributes to continuous quality improvement because (1) it enhances the maintenance of a QMS by quantifying its performance, (2) it assists with and facilitates the implementation of the duties of auditors in charge of assessing the performance of a QMS, (3) it simplifies the burdensome process involved in keeping track of the audit results of the many quality management processes in

“…The necessity for urgent total quality management (TQM) implementation in civil engineering was articulated in the early nineteen-nineties [3,4]. This is why improvement in quality and reliability is very important for civil engineering practice.…”

Production engineering tools for civil engineering practice – the case of FMEA

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article is the first of a series of papers which discuss the usefulness of production engineering tools for general civil engineering. Applications of selected production engineering tools in civil engineering are presented in these papers. The diverse nature of the tools is considered while outlining detailed areas of their application in civil engineering. The features of the tools make them representative of production engineering methodology. Thus, information about the civil engineering applications of the tools also makes it possible to draw practical conclusions about the general usefulness of production engineering methodology in civil engineering. The applications of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) are utilised in this regard in the article.Keywords: civil engineering, construction, decision, support, production engineering, tool, application, FMEA Streszczenie Artykuł rozpoczyna cykl prac poświęconych użyteczności narzędzi inżynierii produkcji w szeroko pojmowanym budownictwie. Uwzględniając zróżnicowany charakter wybranych narzędzi inżynierii produkcji, przedstawiono w cyklu szczegółowe obszary ich zastosowań w budownictwie. Cechy wybranych narzędzi sprawiają, że dobrze ilustrują one metodykę inżynierii produkcji. Dlatego, na podstawie informacji dotyczących ich zastosowań w budownictwie, można sformułować praktyczne wnioski na temat przydatności metod inżynierii produkcji w budownictwie. W artykule wykorzystano w tym celu narzędzie FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis).Słowa kluczowe: budownictwo, decyzja, wspomaganie, inżynieria produkcji, narzędzie, zastosowanie, FMEA
