Objective and Essential Question
The main objective of this exploratory study is to better understand the quality management challenges experienced in the capital projects industry and create a roadmap for rethinking and improving quality management strategies and processes. Specific questions to be addressed include:
- What is the state of quality management in the construction industry (in terms of roles, maturity of implementation, funding, cost of quality, drivers, barriers, quality levels)?
- How should the capital projects industry rethink and improve its quality management strategy and processes?
The expected outcome of this project is a final document and presentation that includes the following:
- Characterize the state of quality management in the construction industry including maturity, systematic issues, resources, knowledge gaps, and barriers (which can be addressed by current resources, which are not addressed by current practices/resources).
- Supply evidence to support the need to rethink quality management in the construction industry and offer possible research direction.
- Develop a draft RACI matrix that supports, at a high-level, an expanded conceptual process for quality management.
