- Quality planning
- Quality assurance
- Quality control
Conformance to requirements and fitness for use
Pareto Diagrams - a histogram, ordered by frequency of occurrence, that shows how many results were generated by type or category of identified cause. Rank ordering is used to guide corrective action - the project team should take action to fix the problems that are causing greatest number of defects first.
Cost of quality
- prevention costs
- appraisal costs
- failure costs.
Attribute sampling determines whether the result confirms or not, and variables sampling determines the degree of conformity.
Tolerance determines if the result falls within acceptable range, but control limits are used to determine if the process is in control.
Just in time Manufacturing is a process that continuously stresses waste reduction by optimizing the processes and procedures necessary to maintain a manufacturing operation. Part of this process is JIT purchasing or inventory where the materials needed appear just in time for use, thus eliminating costs associated with material handling, storage, paperwork, and even inspection.
Better quality provides
- Improved Cost Effectiveness
- Better Customer Satisfaction
- Increase in Productivity
Design of Experiments is a statistical method that helps identify which factors might influence specific variables.
Rule of 7 > If 7 or more consecutive data points fall on one side of the mean, they should be investigated
Control chart the best tools to look for results out of control.
Standard deviation refers to Distance of measurement from the mean.
Process adjustments involve immediate corrective or preventive action as a result of quality control measurements. In some cases, the process adjustment may need to be handled according to procedures for integrated change control.
The objective of a quality audit is to identify lessons learned that can improve performance of this project or of other projects within the performing organization.

This documentation is personal study notes I prepared during my PMP certification study. The source for this study notes is partially from PMBOK 2000, PMP Exam Cram 2, and www.pmstudy.com. I only take notes on knowledge areas that I thought was useful for me. In the real exam, the contents covered are much broader and more difficult than any reference books. So I think real life experience is very important.
