Structuring of work related competences in Chemical Engineering STRENGTH Leonardo da Vinci ToI Project ES1-LEO RESULT 7 STRENGTH Quality management, monitoring and evaluation manual 2013

RESULT 7: STRENGTH Quality management, monitoring and evaluation manual ES1-LEO The goal: to identify what quality control tasks are needed; to schedule and control the tasks assigned; to ensure that all contractual quality standards and inspections are met; and to document what is required to consistently achieve quality. The Quality management, monitoring and evaluation manual facilitates the supervision of the progress and integrity of individual WPs through provision of specific guidelines for the type and frequency of evaluation reports as well as evaluation methods for the examination of project achievements.

Work Progress Key Indicators (WPKIs) Guidelines for authorization of WPs and criteria for assessment of project progress and integrity; Internal audit plan; Communication plan; Evaluation grids for determination of project state of development; Project progress evaluation questionnaire. The Quality management, monitoring and evaluation manual includes: ES1-LEO RESULT 7: STRENGTH Quality management, monitoring and evaluation manual

Work Progress Key Indicators : ES1-LEO The purpose: to determine qualitative criteria and measures for smooth and in-time project advancement. WPKIs: developed for the WPs: WP 1. Project commencement & tools developing WP2. STRENGTH e-platform development: planning, arrangement and operation WP 3. Framework of VQTS-PH results transfer WP 4. Mobility procedure establishment WP 5. Approbation and evaluation/validation WP 6: Project management and coordination WP 7. Quality management, monitoring and evaluation WP 8. Dissemination & exploitation RESULT 7: STRENGTH Quality management, monitoring and evaluation manual

Guidelines for WPs authorization: ES1-LEO The purpose: to ensure that work is started in the correct time, it follows the correct sequence and is done by the designated responsible (individual, partner, management structure, etc.). The guidelines: serve as a key communication link between the tasks executors and the governing individual/body, the latter confirm the scope, the schedule, and the human and financial resources for these tasks; contain information regarding quality criteria, human resources and financial issues; empower the contractor to implement control mechanisms by which to follow the planned activities and to minimize the risk of their failure.
