1. Introduction
KORTECH has developed and implemented a quality management system (QMS), which uses
ISO 9001:2015 as a framework that allows our organization to document and improve our
practices to better satisfy the needs and expectations of our customers, stakeholders and
interested parties. This document describes the quality management system, delineates
authorities, inter relationships and responsibilities of personnel operating within the
management system, it is also providing references to procedures and activities that also
comprise our quality management system. The quality plan is used to familiarise customers
and other external organizations or individuals with the controls that have been implemented
and to assure them that the integrity of our quality management system is maintained and is
focused on customer satisfaction and continual improvement.
This Quality plan forms part of the overall KORTECH Quality Management system (QMS) and
is modelled upon ISO 9001 2015: Quality Management Systems. Its goals are to increase
confidence that specified requirements will be met, provide greater assurance are in control,
to engender motivation and to provide a structured approach to projects’ execution. The
entirety of the KORTECH QMS is based upon the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle for
continuous improvement depicted below.
The Quality Plan (PQP) is the KORTECH principal document for Quality describing the
necessary Quality Assurance (Quality Planning) and Quality Control (Quality Verification)

KORTECH is committed to defining our position in the marketplace and understanding how relevant
factors arising from legal, political, economic, social, and technological issues influence our strategic
direction and our organizational context.
KORTECH identifies, analyses, monitors and reviews factors that may affect our ability to satisfy our
customer and stakeholders, as well as; factors that may adversely affect the stability of our process,
or our management system’s integrity. To ensure that our QMS is aligned with our strategy, whilst
taking account of relevant internal and external factors; we initially analyse pertinent information in
order to determine potential impact on our context and subsequent business strategy.
KORTECH then monitors and reviews this information to ensure that a continual understanding of
each group’s requirements is derived and maintained. To facilitate the understanding of our context,
we regularly consider issues that influence our context during management review meetings and are
conveyed via minutes and business planning documents.
The output from this activity is evident as an input to the consideration of risks and opportunities, and
the actions that we take to address them.
Client: Document number: KOR-QC-PR-01-06
KORTECH recognizes that we have a unique set of interested parties whose needs and expectations
change and develop over time, and furthermore; that only a limited set of their respective needs and
expectations are applicable to our operations or to our quality management system. Such needs and
expectations broadly include those shown in the table below.
To ensure that our products and processes continue to meet all relevant requirements, we identify
and assess the potential impact of any relevant needs and expectations that may be elicited from the
interested parties. Where appropriate, to ensure that our processes are aligned to deliver the
requirements of our interested parties; we convert relevant needs and expectations into requirements
which become inputs to our QMS and to our products and services.
Based on the analysis of the issues and requirements identified, KORTECH has established the
scope of the quality management system in order the implement our objectives and our policies that
are relevant to our context, products and any interested parties.
KORTECH has implemented a quality management system that exists as part of a larger strategy that
has established, documented, and implemented our processes, quality policies and objectives, whilst
satisfying the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. To achieve this, KORTECH has adopted the process
approach advocated by ISO 9001:2015. Top management has determined the processes required for
achieving the intended outputs. By defining four key process-groups and by managing their inputs,
activities, controls, outputs, and interfaces; we ensure that system effectiveness is established
maintained. These key process groups include:
These process groups are described using tools such as documented procedures, process maps,
flow diagrams, matrices, schedules, and charts, etc. It is recognized that defining, implementing, and
documenting our quality management system is only the first step towards fully implementing its
requirements. The effectiveness of each process and its subsequent output is measured and
evaluated through regular internal audits, quality inspections and data analysis. We use key
performance indicators (KPIs) that are linked to our objectives to control and monitor our processes,
as well as assessments to determine the risks and opportunities inherent to each process. We use
trends and indicators relating to nonconformities, objectives and corrective action, as well as,
monitoring and measurement results, audit results and customer satisfaction data, process
performance and the conformity of our products.
Where KORTECH identifies the requirement to outsource any process, or part thereof, which affects
conformity with the stated requirements KORTECH identifies control criteria such as; the competence
of personnel, inspection, the provision of product conformity certificates, adherence to specifications
and specific job files, etc.
The controls identified do not absolve us of the responsibility to conform to client, statutory and
regulatory requirements but instead they enhance our capacity to effectively manage our supply
chain. The controls adopted are influenced by the potential impact of outsourcing on meeting
customer or stakeholder requirements and the degree to which control of the process is shared.
Outsourced processes are controlled via purchasing and contractual agreements.

Store Inspection
The importance of materials management both in Stores and (after release) on-site requires that
monthly the Quality control will arrange a Stores Inspection and maintain records.
All materials for incorporation into the Works shall be procured to achieve Contract Specification
requirements, or as subsequently approved in Project Contract General/Special Conditions, and
purchased in accordance with KORTECH Procedures. Generally purchasing of permanent
materials and products will proceed only after Client/Client’s Representative acceptance.
Temporary materials and products, unless stated otherwise in the Contract Specifications, will
not be submitted for acceptance by the Client/Client’s Representative. However, KORTECH
Procedures will continue to control the purchasing and QA/QC procedures, and ensure temporary
materials and products are “fit for purpose”.
Receiving Inspection
Client: Document number: KOR-QC-PR-01-06
All permanent materials will be subject to receiving inspection by QA/QC, and as necessary
acceptances by the Client/Client’s Representative, to verify conformance to Contract
Specifications or other approved requirements prior to incorporation in the Works. These Material
Inspection Reports or Material Receiving Reports are classified as Quality Reports.
All inspection, measuring and test (IMT) equipment used to establish the Works or measure and
test the quality of the Works (gauges, laboratory equipment and the like) shall be registered and
maintained in a Master Calibration Schedule (MCS) by the Quality Manager. The MCS will be
maintained and record as a minimum for each IMT item: Serial Number; Manufacturer Name;
Description and Model Number; Date of last calibration; Calibration frequency; Date of next
calibration; Date received onsite and condition (e.g. new, used, damaged); Authorised Party to
perform the calibration; and Date entered / removed from service (as required).
All IMT calibration will be performed by competent, authorised parties in accordance with National
or International Metrology Standards, and at frequencies specified by those Standards or at
frequencies specified by the Manufacturer or KORTECH process, to assure continuous valid IMT
Calibration, accuracy and precision.
All IMT periodic (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) verification will be performed by competent,
authorised parties in accordance with Manufacturer Recommendations at frequencies specified by
the Manufacturer or KORTECH process, to assure continuous IMT accuracy and precision.
Similarly, to the MCS, a Master Verification Schedule (MVS) shall be maintained by the Quality
Manager with necessary input from defined Responsible Persons for their IMT.
Maintenance
All periodic maintenance will be performed by competent, authorised parties in accordance with
Manufacturer Recommendations at frequencies specified by the Manufacturer or KORTECH
process, to assure continuous IMT accuracy and precision. The Responsible Person for the IMT
will ensure major maintenance is recorded and is traceable and filed in an organised system.
Major maintenance is generally defined as including: that performed by a Manufacturer or 3 rd
Party; involves permanent replacement or changes to hardware and software; and is costed.
Minor maintenance includes normal tasks such as cleaning, lubrication, small adjustments, etc.
KORTECH shall be permitted to request necessary and relevant documentation and records from
3rd Party Organisations and Subcontractors to verify calibration, maintenance and periodic
verification requirements are established and maintained.

Nonconformity
Where IMT is damaged, suspected of being inaccurate whilst in use or has subsequently been
found to be out of calibration or periodic verification requirements upon periodic checking it shall
be quarantined until corrected. In all such cases NCR’s shall be raised and its prior use since
being in a known state of calibration or correct functioning will be appraised to determine if there
have been any risks or detrimental effects upon the Works.
It is one of the most important indicators to measure overall company performance is our customer
satisfaction.
Handling of measuring satisfaction is the responsibility of Project manager by assistance of Quality
Dept. and other departments as well.
In case of comments, bad evaluation, an oriented corrective action is taken towards customer
concern to prevent reoccurrence.
KORTECH determines the methods for obtaining, monitoring, and reviewing this information.
KORTECH analyses and evaluates appropriate data and information arising from monitoring and
measurement.
The results of analysis are used to evaluate:
Conformity of products and services.
The degree of customer satisfaction.
The performance and effectiveness of the quality management system.
If planning has been implemented effectively.
The performance of external providers;
The need for improvements to the quality management system.
The company conducts periodic internal audits to determine whether the Quality Management
System conforms to the requirements of ISO 9001-2015 or not the system has been effectively
implemented and maintained. Such audits are in accordance with the documented procedure
titled by "internal audit". The procedure defines the requirements for internal auditors, for
conducting audits, and for recording the results and reporting them to management. The quality
assurance head is responsible for scheduling and managing regular internal quality audits. Each
area of the company that affects quality will be scheduled for internal audits according to the
status and importance of the activities being audited.
Audits are performed by rained, qualified auditors who are independent of activities being audited,
findings are recorded which are submitted to Quality Assurance Head to follow up the taken timely
corrective action. Once the action is completed, the Quality Assurance Head, or designated
representative, verifies the effective implementation of corrective and preventive action during
subsequent audits or special follow-up audits. Audit findings and results are reviewed at
management review meeting.
9.3.1 General
The outputs of the management review include decisions and actions related to:
Opportunities for improvement.

10 Improvement
10.1 General:
These Improvements whilst not classified as audit findings, nevertheless, identify issues worthy of
action to prevent future possible nonconformities, and improve performance or implementation of
the Quality System
Collective analysis of Corrective Action Requests across all KORTECH projects will form an input
into the periodic management review of the QMS undertaken by KORTECH.
All Audit Notifications and Audit Reports will be issued to relevant KORTECH Directors, Project
Manager and Quality Manger for distribution and action.
The results of the review and action to be taken with respect to:
KORTECH continually seeks to improve the effectiveness of its management systems via use of its
policy, objectives, audit results, data analysis, corrective and preventive actions, management
review and projects lessons learned.
It is invaluable for all Business Units at KORTECH to learn quickly from "faults" and "best practices"
gained during the project execution. Deriving of appropriate improvements and sharing of the
experience with others from outside the project team are the crucial success factors in this
respect.
Enhance project work by a systematic and recurrent analysis of important experiences made by
all persons involved within the relevant project.
Identify and conduct measures in order to solve problems, to mitigate their impacts or to integrate
best solutions as a standard approach for future projects or for upcoming project phases.
Disseminate the results of project lessons learned for their consideration by all future project
teams.
KORTECH continually improves the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the quality
management system.
