The role of a quality system in managing interface work

Abstract

Introduction. This article shows the importance of quality control for construction projects during the implementation phase, as the use of an appropriate quality control plan for the project allows us to obtain the required quality of work for the first time without the need to rework or modify it and thus reduce the cost of the work. Addressing quality management as a necessary measure for achieving cost-effective construction processes, reducing waste, and minimizing losses resulting from its absence, its significance lies in the fact that adopting this approach in work will increase profits by controlling resources and costs. Additionally, considering the work methodology is essential.
 
 Materials and methods. The studied case is a three-storey villa project in Iraq. A quality control plan was developed for the implementation of the exterior coating of the type of stone facades, and after the completion of the work, quality control tools were used to check the quality of the coating implemented based on the plan, where the experimental approach was used.
 
 Results. The main aim of quality control is to ensure product quality and at the lowest possible cost. In practice, this can only be achieved by controlling the production processes, so we studied the stability of the implementation process through the usage of statistical quality control tools, and all the results indicated that the process is statistically disciplined and stable. Reducing the tasks and activities necessary to transform inputs (raw materials) into valuable products or services for customers is essential. Quality requires getting things right the first time, which means reducing defects or rework and, consequently, minimizing costs.
 
 Conclusions. A quality policy will lead to the correct use of resources and improve the quality of performance. It also has a positive impact on the overall cost of implementation within this study.
