Introduction   1.1 Scope of this Plan  This document defines the quality management practices and processes > will observe during the Road Maintenance Council Contract’s (“RMCC”) term.  This Plan is part of Council’s RMCC Contract Management System. It should be read in  conjunction with Council’s Contract Management Plan which provides the framework of the  system.  > applies quality assurance in delivering Services so as to effectively and efficiently  satisfy the needs its customers: residents, other road users, the general public and the RTA.  1.2 Council’s Quality Management Objectives  Council is committed to delivering Services which meet the requirements of the RTA and the  community.   We contribute to this by planning, organising, resourcing, directing, monitoring and measuring  the processes and products relative to Council’s policies, objectives and the requirements of the  RTA as expressed in the RMCC.   We record and report the results and use this as a basis for continual improvement.  1.3 Purposes of Council’s Quality Management Plan   The purposes of Council’s Quality Management Plan (“QMP”) are to:  • Define Council’s management of Quality processes when delivering the RMCC Services,   • Provide guidance to Council staff on Council’s obligations under the RMCC,  • Assure the RTA that Council is fulfilling its obligations regarding the RMCC,  • Define the responsibilities of the Quality Management Representative under the RMCC  (the responsibilities and authorities of other positions are set down in the Contract  Management Plan and other functional plans) and  • Set down the frequency and responsibilities for management review of this Plan,  1.4 Practice of Quality Management  Council’s underlying principle of quality assurance is the quality management cycle. Quality planning is:  • Determining what to do - the processes which lead to the end result required by the  customers,  • Assessing what can go wrong and the consequences to the quality of the end-result,  • Deciding the “right” way to do each process to minimise the risk of mistakes or waste,   • Choosing key points to check that each process is effective, defining what to check and  how to check then reporting and  • Reviewing the reports and, where appropriate, improving the processes.  2. Product Realisation  This dealt with in detail in the Contract Management Plan. In summary:  2.1 Determining the Requirements   In the RMCC, the customers’ requirements are determined by:  • Joint inspections and Joint Planning Assessments - to develop a programme of Services to  be carried out during the current financial year,  Do AnalyseImprove Plan • Developing an Asset Inspection System – which ensures each road is regularly and  systematically inspected to identify defects and subsequently to confirm that repairs have  been done,  • Carrying out inspections in accordance with the Asset Inspection System (see Council’s  Contract Management Plan Appendix E) to identify any defects which have reached the  Intervention Requirements nominated in RTA specifications.  2.2 Production and service provision   Council will implement a Defect Management process which encompasses:  • Defect Identification,  • Repair of those defects according to their urgency and  • Recording and reporting.  2.3 Purchasing   See 6 below.  2.4 Design  Any design work associated with the contract will be arranged by the >  in accordance with RTA’s requirements.  3. Survey Control    Surveying for set-out or construction is arranged by the >.  4. Measuring and Test Equipment   All equipment used for inspection, measuring and testing is regularly calibrated and maintained in  good working order to ensure reliable performance and accurate results.    The > will select measuring equipment to suit the accuracy of the  proposed application and only be used within its range of accuracy. When issuing measuring  equipment for use on road maintenance Services, the > will confirm  that the equipment is in current calibration.  If an item of equipment is knocked or dropped or if out-of-calibration is suspected, the user will  immediately check its calibration, where possible, by comparing measurement against a similar  item. Alternatively, the user will promptly tag the item "NOT TO BE USED" and arrange for it to be  recalibrated.  If equipment is damaged, the user will immediately tag it "NOT TO BE USED" and notify the  > who will promptly arrange repairs.  The > will arrange for the validity of measurements or tests that utilised  defective equipment to be re-assessed.  5. Induction and Training    Council’s > will prepare a network-specific induction and training plan.  See RTA Q4M Clause 6.2.2.  Council employees will not perform inspections or maintenance tasks unless competent to do so.  Inspection competency includes being conversant with RTA’s intervention levels, inspection  procedures, safety, traffic control, environmental protection and incident management  requirements.  The> will ensure that all on site  personnel engaged on the project  (including subcontractor's personnel working under Council’s quality system) have undergone an  appropriate induction programme which ensures they are aware of how the quality system is to  be implemented on the project. The programme will focus on their specific roles and  responsibilities, the Council’s Quality Plan, Project Quality Plans, the RTA’s Intervention and  Rectification Requirements, other RTA Specifications, Inspection and Test requirements, on  checking that the completed Services meet RTA requirements. This programme is available to RTA  staff.  Council will keep records of who has been trained.   OH&S and Environmental training is dealt with fully in Council’s Safety Management Plan and  Environmental Management Plan respectively. 6. Purchasing or supply by the RTA   Council will ensure anything purchased or supplied by the RTA, including subcontract Services,  conforms to the contract and RTA specifications before incorporating it in any Service.  Materials and products supplied will be conforming and traceable.  The > is responsible for receipt of incoming goods used for the  Services. This comprises checking that orders are complete, identified and undamaged, and also  that any required documentation such as certificates of compliance and test results are submitted  by the supplier.  The >is responsible for reviewing all inspection and test documents  submitted by the supplier for the incoming goods to verify that all quality requirements have been  met. A record of this verification will be kept.  Any nonconforming products will be clearly labelled by > and kept  separate from conforming products pending a decision on their disposal. The > will keep records of such actions.  7. Supply of Materials  7.1 Materials Schedule  The > is responsible for preparing a Materials Schedule for all materials  needed to carry out the Services. The Materials Schedule will show:  • Source(s) of supply (eg. gravel pits, quarrymasters, pre-mix concrete supplier),  • Anticipated quantities and dates for use,  • Applicable RTA specifications to be used for purchase eg RTA 3061,  RTA 3201, RTA R111,  • If supplier is to carry out tests, frequency of testing and  • If Council is to carry out tests, applicable Test Plan.  7.2 Materials Supplied by Council  The > will arrange any source testing and production testing of any  materials to be supplied by Council (eg. from Council gravel pits) in accordance with the  Inspection Test Plan.  7.3 Materials Supplied by the RTA  The > will take delivery and inspect the materials supplied by the RTA.   Council will carry out checks on any certificates to ensure the materials comply with the RTA  specified quality requirements. Council will keep records of deliveries.  > will immediately advise the > of any  shortages, deficiencies or materials unsuitable for use. The > will  promptly notify the RTA in writing.  Council staff will handle and store materials so that no damage or deterioration will occur and  ensure they are under adequate security. Periodically check the condition of materials in storage.  Keep records of these checks as necessary.   8. Identification and Traceability  As required by RTA Q4M Clause 7.5.3, Council will provide written evidence that each lot,  area or  part of completed Services has passed all inspections and

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1PURPOSE OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
This quality management plan clearly specifies the practices and procedures that will be followed during the term of the agreement.
This management plan includes efficiency requirement of the physical units in the project as well as their minimum values at which maintenance is required. The subsequent deficiencies of the physical units is noted and their regular inspection plan as well as maintenance plan is specified.
The Quality management plan (QMP) also finds the remedy to probable hazards and repairs the defects permanently in the physical units.
The Quality management Plan is made in the planning phase of a project for the project manager and the team so that they can carry out the project work smoothly.
The Quality management Plan (QMP) can be divided into three categories:
a)Quality Planning-It includes all those activities which are done to control the quality of the project.
b)Quality Assurance- This system ensures that the materials used in the project are as per the specifications mentioned and the structure is same as given in the design.
c)Quality Control- It ensures that the raw materials are of required quality and the work is asper the requirements.
1.2PRINCIPLE OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT
The main principle of quality assurance is based on the quality management cycle.
Plan——-Act—-Analyse—-Improve
Quality planning includes:
 -Analysing what to do based on the requirement of the customer for their product.
-Determining what can be the consequences on the end product and things which can go wrong.
-Finding the ‘optimum’ way in which their is minimum wastage of products and minimum risk.
-Periodic review of the work and making improvements as per the requirements.
