KSPHC Quality Manual

0.5 Introduction to the organization

Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation Limited (KSPHC) is a fully owned undertaking

of the State Government of Karnataka, headquartered in Bangalore, India. Set up in 1985,

the Company was mandated to build residential and non-residential buildings for the Police,

Fire and other auxiliary services in the State. Project costs and the administrative expenses

were being met by the Government and the Company had no income generating activity of

its own. In the year 2006-07, KSPHC has undergone a transformation. The process of

transformation began in 2001 and has taken six years to complete. Following figures

indicate the path traversed by the Company before, during and after the transformation.

Period Aggregate value of works

(Actual / Projected)

During 16 years from 1985 to 2001 INR 1184.22 Million (INR 74.01 M / year)

During six years from 2001 to 2007 INR 5250.14 Million (INR 875.02 M / year)

During five years from 2007 to 2012 INR 10 Billion (INR 2 Billion per year) (projected)

THE TRANSFORMATION

KSPHC’s Web based Project Management System (WBPMS) is one of the transformation

initiatives started in 2001, along with computerization of all its activities in a phased manner.

The other transformation initiatives include transparency, accountability, stakeholder

involvement, Right to Information, professional approach to management, etc. KSPHC’s

transformation is a continuous process of self-improvement, imbibing all principles of good

governance including e-governance, with an objective to achieve world-class standards in all

its endeavours. The transformation promotes total transparency in all its operations, and

makes possible cost effective and timely delivery of quality buildings constructed innovatively

to enhance the functioning of the essential public services like the Police, Fire forces, Home

Guards and Prisons. The transformation initiative helped KSPHC to come to grips with the

myriad problems associated with increased workload and project execution in remote

locations in Karnataka

The transformation helps tackle the emerging issues in executing projects efficiently and in a

better manner than ever before. From a computer located anywhere, the status of the

projects can now be reviewed 24X7 by any of the stakeholders and this helps to initiate

Revision: 02 Rev. Date: 30.03.2010 Page VII

Page 11: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

appropriate and timely intervention strategies that are necessary to improve project

implementation. The system enables KSPHC to cope with the challenges of distance, time

pressures, inadequate resources, lack of knowledge and skills and facilitates collaborative

workflow, information sharing and good governance. When non-compliances occur or are

noticed, alerts are generated either automatically or manually, and remedial measures can

then be initiated and accountability fixed

BETTER SYSTEM THAN RTI: Though the recently promulgated Right to Information Act

(RTI) is very progressive, procedural requirements are required to be satisfied before the

information is made available. All such bureaucratic procedures are removed with the

implementation of WBPMS and any information pertaining to any project at any stage is just

a mouse-click away for any interested party. Equally importantly, the WBPMS has an inbuilt

mechanism to receive and register feedback and complaints. A regularly updated

Complaints Register helps the public/customer to find the status of their complaint in real-

time. In many instances, this also helps the Project-in-Charge to initiate proper, timely

corrective action

THE RESULT: Government programs are generally beset with delays, cost escalations and

lack of accountability. The web-enabled Project Management System of KSPHC brings in

total transparency in public spending, facilitating stakeholder involvement, team effort and

information sharing. Many of the best practices advocated by professional bodies like the

Project Management Institute, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and

Institute of Chartered Accountants of India are integrated in the WBPMS developed by

KSPHC. By adopting this tool for better planning, control and executing its projects with

decreasing time and cost overruns, KSPHC has demonstrated that its transformation model

can create value and wealth for the Government

RECOGNITIONS GALORE: On World Habitat Day (3 Oct 2006), the Government of India

selected KSPHC to receive the First Prize and Best Practices Award in recognition of the

pioneering work done in the field of Quality Management and e-governance. Other awards

conferred during the last year include Golden Peacock Awards for Corporate Social

Responsibility, Eco Innovation and Innovative Management and GOLD rating under LEED

certification process from the US Green Building Council.

KSPHC Quality Manual

The transformation has helped KSPHC win the trust and confidence of all its customers and

to become a self-reliant professionally run company working on commercial lines in a

competitive environment from its earlier status of being dependent on Government funds.

ACHIEVEMENTS

The single most important achievement of the WBPMS is that it aims to provide

accountability for public money invested in Government projects. Any member of the public

can visit the website, open the WBPMS and check how well the money is being spent. With

a complaint mechanism built into the tool, the WBPMS proves better than the Right to

Information Act. The WBPMS has enabled KSPHC to imbibe professionalism while

executing publicly funded projects, from conception to completion. Consciousness about

several important focus areas of project management has been brought home in a dramatic

manner by the WBPMS and this has facilitated a gradual assimilation in KSPHC of the best

practices in project management prevalent across the world.

THE OBJECTIVES

The goal of the transformation is to satisfy as many of these concerns as possible. In this

direction, KSPHC has designed the WBPMS and computerization of its activities, and the

integration of its activities in WBPMS to deliver satisfactory resolution of the concerns of its

stakeholders. The goal of the transformation is to be able to show measurable improvements

capable of independent evaluation. Financial institutions desire proper fund utilization;

remote monitoring of project progress and cost / sq ft of construction data available in the

WBPMS meets the requirement. e-tendering, e-billing and ability for remote monitoring of

status of bill satisfy the Contractors’ needs. KSPHC employees are concerned about their

work environment the betterment of which increases their productivity; this is measured by

KSPHC Quality Manual

productivity/employee. Auditors are concerned about traceability, fund flow details and data

security; e-billing capabilities, accounting and WBPMS integration, job progress monitoring,

and log sheet meet their requirements. Password protection, firewalls, backup facility, and

server farms allay their security concerns. Process integrity, a constant concern of

management, is assured by the internal and surveillance audits carried out as part of ISO

9001 requirements, which has incorporated Project Management features of ISO 10006.

Environmental concerns are being addressed by planning of implementation of ISO 14001

during 2007. Information Security Management in line with ISO/IEC 27001 will be initiated

soon. The following table summarizes the Company’s achievements as against the

stakeholders’ expectations for the last two years:

KSPHC Quality Manual

5.2.2 Leadership

Top management of KSPHC has established unity of purpose and direction of the

organization. KSPHC provides and maintains the internal environment in which people can

become fully involved in achieving the organization’s objectives.

For each of the project taken by KSPHC, Executive Engineer (EE) of a particular division is

treated as the Project Manager. The Executive Engineer is vested with the defined

responsibility and requisite authority for managing the project.

The top management of KSPHC assumes leadership in creating a culture for quality

• By setting the quality policy and identifying the objectives (including the quality

objectives) for the project,

• By providing the infrastructure and resources to ensure achievement of project

objectives,

• By providing an organizational structure conducive to meet project objectives,

• By making decisions based on data and factual information,

• By empowering and motivating all project personnel to improve the project processes

and product, and

• By planning for future preventive actions. 5.2.3 Involvement of people

People at all levels are the essence of an organization and their full involvement enables

their abilities to be used for the organization’s benefit. The top management of KSPHC

strives to enhance the involvement of people by encouraging through various means such

as recognitions, rewards, suggestion schemes etc.,

At KSPHC, personnel have well-defined responsibility and authority for their participation in

the projects. The authority delegated to the project participants correspond to their

responsibility.

Revision: 01 Rev. Date: 09.09.2009 Page 14

Page 29: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

In order to improve the performance, top management of KSPHC envisages and provides

appropriate tools, techniques and methods to the personnel to enable them to monitor and

control the processes.

5.2.4 Process approach

A desired result is achieved more efficiently when activities and related resources are

managed as a process.

KSPHC has identified all the processes of its business. The key processes of the Quality

Management System, their sequence and interactions are briefly illustrated in Annex A.

Further, project processes have been identified and documented (relevant procedures are

referenced under product realization processes. The originating organization (e.g., Govt. of

Karnataka, Police department, Prisons department, Forest department) may communicate

the experience gained in developing and using its own processes, or those from its other

projects to KSPHC (the project organization). KSPHC takes into account this experience

when establishing the project’s processes and exchanges with the user an instrument /

document setting forth the parameters and responsibilities and deliverables of the project. In

this instrument, KSPHC sets over the processes that are unique to the project,

- By identifying the appropriate processes for the project,

- By identifying the inputs, outputs and the objectives for the project’s processes,

- By identifying the process owners and establishing their authority and responsibility,

- By designing the project’s processes to anticipate future processes in the life cycle of

the project, and

- By defining the interrelations and interactions among the processes.

Process effectiveness and efficiency are assessed through internal (KSPHC) or external

review. Where and to the extent possible, assessments are made by benchmarking or

evaluating the processes against a maturity scale. Maturity scales typically range in degrees

of maturity from “no formal system” to “best-in-class”. KSPHC intends to implement, as a

part of continual improvement, appropriate maturity models developed from different

applications.

KSPHC Quality Manual

5.2.5 System approach to management

Identifying, understanding and managing interrelated processes as a system, contributes to

the organization’s effectiveness and efficiency in achieving its objectives. In general, the

system approach to management allows for the coordination and compatibility of an

organization’s planned processes and a clear definition of their interfaces.

KSPHC carries out each project as a set of planned, interrelated and interdependent

processes. KSPHC, the project organization, defines and links the processes needed, to

integrate and manage them as a system aligned with the originating organization’s overall

system (where necessary).

5.2.6 Continual Improvement

Continual improvement of the organization’s overall performance is a permanent objective of

the organization. The cycle of continual improvements is based on “Plan-Do-Check-Act”

(PDCA) concept.

KSPHC assumes as its responsibility to continually improve the effectiveness and efficiency

of the processes for which it is responsible. Management of projects is treated as a process

rather than an isolated task. The established Quality Management System enables it to

record and analyze the information gained during a project, for use in a continual

improvement process. Internal / external audits and assessments are valued as a source to

identify opportunities for improvement.

5.2.7 Factual approach to decision making

Effective decisions are based on analysis of data and information

Information about the project’s progress and performance are recorded using web-based

project monitoring system. Performance and progress evaluations are carried out in order to

assess the project status. The information from performance and progress evaluations are

analyzed to make effective decisions regarding the project and for revising the project

management plan. Information from project closure reports of previous projects are

appropriately analyzed and used to support the improvement of current or future projects.

Page 31: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

5.2.8 Mutually beneficial supplier relationships

An organization and its suppliers are interdependent and a mutually beneficial relationship

enhances the ability of both to create value.

KSPHC defines its strategies for obtaining external products / services (services of

contractors); where required it collaborates with contractors for defining its strategies,

especially in the case of project of long duration and of multiple / complex phases.

KSPHC evaluates and determines suppliers ability to meet its requirements for processes

and products, and takes into account the customer’s preferred suppliers or selection criteria

where required.

KSPHC supports its suppliers including contractors technically and financially within the

limits of company’s policy and procedural limitations; this includes for example, training its

contractor on usage of web-based PMS, advising about the external laboratory services

available for testing and calibration, providing financial advances for those who fulfill the

prescribed company’s criteria, etc.,

5.3 Vision, Mission and the Quality Policy

KSPHC has established its vision, mission and quality policy as part of its strategic business

management and to excel as one among the best-organized Government Organization in

providing services. This provides a framework for establishing and reviewing quality

objectives. The top management ensures that the organization’s vision, mission and the

quality policy is communicated and understood within the organization. Organization’s vision,

mission and the quality policy is reviewed at appropriate times for its continuing suitability.

KSPHC Quality Manual

7.2.1.1 Concept development

Customer needs and expectations for product and processes, both stated and generally

implied, are translated into documented requirements, including statutory and regulatory

aspects which, when required by the customer, are mutually accepted.

Other stake holders are identified and their needs established. These are translated into

documented requirements and, where relevant, accepted by the customer.

7.2.2 Review of requirements related to the product.

SUPERINTENDING ENGINEER (HQ & S) and Executive Engineer (Quality / Contracts)

review the contract requirements related to the product. This review is conducted prior

to the organization’s commitment to supply a product to the customer to ensure that,

a) Product requirements are defined,

b) Order requirements differing from those previously expressed are resolved, and,

c) The organization has the ability to meet the defined requirements.

Records of the result of the review and action arising from the reviews are maintained.

KSPHC has identified all the processes of its business. The key processes of the Quality

Management System, their sequence and interactions are briefly illustrated in Annex 1.

Further, project processes have been identified and documented (relevant procedures are

referred in Annex A under product realization processes. The originating organization (e.g.,

Govt. of Karnataka, Police department, Prisons department, Forest department) may

communicate the experience gained in developing and using its own processes, or those

from its other projects to KSPHC (the project organization). KSPHC takes into account this

experience when establishing the project’s processes and exchanges with the user an

instrument / document setting forth the parameters and responsibilities and deliverables of

the project. In this instrument KSPHC set out the processes that are unique to the project.

7.2.2.1 Scope development and control

When developing the project scope, the characteristics of the project’s product are identified

and documented in measurable terms and as completely as is possible. These

characteristics are used as the basis for design and development. Project management plan,

Revision: 01 Rev. Date: 09.09.2009 Page 28

Page 43: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

which makes reference to the quality plan, specifies how these characteristics will be

measured or how their conformity to the customers and other requirements of the other

stakeholders will be assessed. KSPHC ensures that product and process characteristics are

traceable to the documented requirements of the customer and other stakeholders.

When alternative approaches and solutions are considered during scope development,

supporting evidence (including the analysis performed and other considerations used) are

documented and referred in the scope.

Where the customer provides no documented statement of requirement, the customer

requirements are confirmed before acceptance.

7.2.2.2 Change management

Change management covers the identification, evaluation, authorization, documentation,

implementation and control of change. Before a change is authorized, the intent, extent and

impact of the change are analyzed. Those changes that affect the project objectives are

agreed with the customer and other relevant stakeholders.

Change management takes the following into account:

- Managing changes to project scope, project objectives, and to the project management

plan;

- Coordinating changes across inter-linked project processes and resolving any conflicts.

Changes may result in negative impacts (e.g. claims) on the project and are identified as

soon as possible. The root causes of negative impacts are analyzed and the results used to

produce prevention-based solutions and implement improvements in the project process.

Where Product requirements are changed, it is ensured that relevant documents are

amended and concerned department / personnel are made aware of the change in

requirement.

7.2.3 Customer communication

Concerned Superintending Engineer ensures implementation of effective communication

established (as described in the procedure QSP 12) for communicating with customer in

relation to

Revision: 01 Rev. Date: 09.09.2009 Page 29

Page 44: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

a) Product information,

b) Enquiries, and

c) Customer feedback, including customer complaints

7.2.3.1 Communication planning

KSPHC ensures that appropriate communication processes are established for the project,

and that communication takes place regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of the Quality

Management System.

Communication planning takes into account the needs of the originating organization,

customers and other stakeholders, and should result in a documented communication plan.

This communication plan defines the information that will be formally communicated, the

media used to transmit it and the frequency of communication. The requirements for the

purpose, frequency, timing and records of meetings are defined in the communication plan.

The format, language and structure of project documents and records as far as possible in

digital form are planned to ensure compatibility. The communication plan defines the

information management system, identify who will send and receive information, and

reference to the relevant document control, record control and security procedures. The

format for progress evaluation reports is designed to highlight deviations from the project

management plan.

Applicable Procedure: QSP 12 - Project Management

7.3 Design and development

7.3.1 Design and development planning

Superintending Engineer- [SE- (HQ & S)] plans and controls the design and development of

product designed specifically for the customer (originating organization) requirements that is

provided / specified in Memorandum of Understanding or other customer communication.

SE- (HQ & S) coordinates with originating organization or their representative for the

development

of product and determine

Revision: 01 Rev. Date: 09.09.2009 Page 30

Page 45: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

a) The product development stages

b) The review, verification and validation that are appropriate to each stage of product

development

c) The responsibilities and authorities for various development activities.

SE- (HQ & S) manages the interface between different groups involved in the

development of project management plan to ensure effective communication and clear

assignment of responsibility and fulfilling of liaison requirements.

Design development planning is updated, as appropriate, as the development progresses.

Design development plan is referred in the project management plan.

7.3.2 Design and development inputs

SE- (HQ & S) or his designated representative determines inputs relating to the

product requirements. Records of design inputs are maintained. The inputs include

a) Product characteristics,

b) Applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, (if any), and

c) Where applicable, information derived from previous similar products and other

requirements essential for product development

These inputs are reviewed for adequacy to ensure that requirements are complete,

unambiguous and not in conflict with each other.

7.3.2.1 Conceptual design for customer approval

Customer needs and expectations for product and processes, both stated and generally

implied, are translated into documented requirements, including statutory and regulatory

aspects after being reviewed by the customer and mutually accepted. Based on this,

conceptual drawings are made and sent to customer for approval. The approved conceptual

drawings are used as design input to develop design outputs and a set of approved

drawings is made available to the customer for record. The executing agency is required to

follow these drawings faithfully. Any difficulty encountered during execution will be brought to

the notice of KSPHC by the agency for immediate resolution in consultation with customer

Revision: 01 Rev. Date: 09.09.2009 Page 31

Page 46: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

7.3.2.2 Time related issues (constraints) as design inputs

The time related processes aim to determine dependencies and the duration of the activities

and to ensure timely completion of the project. The constraint of project time (duration) is

taken into account while designing the product or process specifications (for example, using

quick setting methods / materials to avoid time-overrun). Any time spent on obtaining

statutory and regulatory licenses is to be excluded from the project time, as it is the duty of

the customer to obtain these licenses.

7.3.2.3 Risk identification and assessment as input to design

Risk identification is performed at the initiation of the project when significant decisions are

made. Experience and historical data from previous projects are used for this purpose. The

output of this process is recorded as a part of design input records. Examples of risk

identification – land condition, surrounding environmental conditions, potential natural risks,

and applicable current and anticipated statutory and regulatory requirements.

Risk assessment is the process of analysing and evaluating identified risks to the project

processes and to the project’s product.

A quantitative and / or qualitative analysis is made for the risks identified and the risk

assessment results are used as design input.

7.3.3 Design and development outputs

The product development outputs are provided in a form that enables verification against the

development input and are approved before release.

SE- (HQ & S) reviews the product development outputs to ensure that

they a) Meet the input requirements for product development,

b) Provide appropriate information for purchasing (contracting) and construction

activities,

c) Contain or reference product acceptance criteria, and

d) Specify the characteristics of the products that are essential for its safe and proper

use.

Revision: 01 Rev. Date: 09.09.2009 Page 32

Page 47: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

7.3.4 Design and Development Review

At suitable stages, systematic reviews of product development are performed in accordance

with planned arrangements (documented in design and development plan).

a) To evaluate the ability of the results of design & development to meet requirements, and

b) To identify any problems and propose necessary actions.

Participants in such reviews include the representatives of functions concerned (client, if

necessary) with the design and development stage that are being reviewed. Records of the

results of the reviews and action taken are maintained.

7.3.5 Design and Development Verification

Verification is performed in accordance with the procedure to ensure that product

development outputs have met the product development input requirements. Records of the

results of the verification and action taken are maintained.

7.3.6 Design and Development Validation

It is impracticable to validate the project’s product (buildings) before its delivery. However,

product characteristics and related process specifications are established using proven data

or using a national / international standard. In addition to this, complaints received regarding

product / product performance during the maintenance period, subsequent action taken to

resolve it are correlated with relevant monitoring and measurement data to determine

deficiency in product / process specifications. This information is analysed to determine the

design related deficiency and to validate the design.

7.3.7 Control of Design and Development changes

The changes identified during any stage of design and development cycle are reviewed,

verified and validated, as appropriate, and approved before implementation. The review of

product development changes includes evaluation of the effect of the changes on the

product already delivered (i.e., in case of similar previous projects such mistakes that have

happened will be identified and evaluated to initiate necessary action).

Records of the results of the review of changes and any necessary actions are maintained.

7.4 Purchasing

7.4.1 Purchasing process

At KSPHC, the core business element is contractor control activity since the project is

generally contracted and executed. Also, the purchase activity carried out by the

organization for supporting administrative and for providing infrastructure and related

maintenance services are covered under this process. The purchase activities are being

carried out through tendering process.

The purchase-related processes deal with obtaining finished product (building) and also

other products/ services required by the organization. The purchase-related processes are

a) Purchase planning and control,

b) Registration of suppliers (open ended process),

c) Documentation of purchase requirements,

d) Supplier evaluation,

e) Contracting, and

f) Contract control.

7.4.1.1 Purchase planning and control

For projects, which are administratively approved by the competent authority, and for which

expenditure has been sanctioned, the estimates are prepared by the Concerned Executive

Engineer, based on the “Schedule of Rates” (SR) wherever applicable to a particular circle.

These estimates are subjected to technical approval / sanction by competent authority. In

case the project is under deposit contribution scheme, client’s approval is sought for the

estimate. These technically cleared estimates form the basis for purchase planning and

further activities.

activities, it is dealt in detail under clause number 7.5.1 (Control of production and service

provision).

In case of construction activities, Contract control starts with the issue of letter of

acceptance. Web based project monitoring system has been established to assist in contract

control. Contract control includes the establishment of appropriate contractual relationships

and the integration of the outputs for overall management of the project.

Supplier performance is monitored continuously to ensure it meets contract conditions. The

results of monitoring are provided to suppliers to initiate necessary corrective actions.

Prior to contract closure, it is verified that all contract conditions have been met and that

feedback on supplier performance has been obtained to update the register of approved

suppliers. This data is used for future evaluation or determining re-evaluation of the

suppliers.

Revision: 01 Rev. Date: 09.09.2009 Page 37

Page 52: Quality Manual System R3

KSPHC Quality Manual

This includes any processes where the deficiencies become apparent only after the product

is in use or the service (Construction) has been delivered.

Validations of these processes are made considering:

� Product and process characteristics

� Acceptance criteria

� Quality test methods

These validations demonstrate the ability of these processes to achieve planned results.

Generally, national standards are made available for such processes, which provide

necessary requirements for the process and the product characteristics. KSPHC adopts

these standards. These quality system requirements are communicated to the contractor(s).

Concerned Project Engineers establish arrangements with contractors for these processes

including, as applicable:

a) Defined criteria for review and approval of the processes,

b) Approval of equipment and qualification of personnel,

c) Use of specific methods and procedures

d) Requirements for records

e) Revalidation.

7.5.3 Identification and traceability

Through out the process of construction, products / materials (used for construction) are

identified for their status (Fitness for use). Where traceability is a requirement (pre-

determined at the stage of project initiation), methods are evolved for the purpose. Examples

include, Cement (make, batch number), steel (make, grade).

7.5.4 Customer property

Customer property provided by the originating organization to KSPHC may include one or

more of the following:

a) Land for construction,

b) Intellectual property such as architectural design,
