Project Quality Plan (PQP)

Share This Post

Project Quality Plan (PQP) is normally required for criticality “1” packages.

It is based on ISO 10000 5 Quality management — Guidelines for quality plans.

It would have the same requirements as ISO 9001 QMS but intended for implementation at project level. 

Project Quality Plan (PQP typically includes:

  • Key Personnel and their responsibilities
  • Contract review to ensure supplier has sufficient resources in terms of manpower, know how, infrastructure to do the job
  • Design control (input, output, verification, validation)
  • Document and data control (revision & numbering for traceability while archiving outdated documents)
  • Purchasing (outsourcing and subcontractor for services and raw material; ensure controls in place)
  • Control of customer-supplied product (free issued material supplied by the purchase, if any for traceability, proper storage, quarantine non conforming product and ask the client for disposition)
  • Product identification and traceability (including raw material traceability and marking)
  • Process control (QC procedures such as NDE examination procedure, test procedures, WPS, function test procedure, pressure test procedure)
  • Inspection and testing (reflected within package Inspection and Test Plan)
  • Control of inspection, measuring and test equipment (Calibration program includes calibration procedures, register, test reports & certificates)
  • Inspection and test status (Test reports, mill test report, test records)
  • Control of nonconforming product (NCR Procedure, register and reports)
  • Corrective and preventive actions (normally addressed within NCR reports)
  • Handling, storage, packaging, preservation and delivery (addressed within packing and shipping procedure, lifting plan for heavy components or equipment normally over 2000 kg.)
  • Control of quality records (reflected within MRB or the manufacturer record book and it’s index)
  • Auditing (Audit procedure, audit schedule, audit findings and follow up)
  • Training (supplier to demonstrate how he ensures his personnel and subcontractors have the required qualification, training and competency. Evidence would be the training matrix, qualification record, experience record)
