Quality System (RCC Designs of Buildings)1 An organisation adopts a management system to take care of comfortably

achieving its set objectives, which being in this case RCC Designs of Buildings

2 Management system comprises various sets of procedures for charting out & implementing various operations or activities, so as to successfully reach its intended objectives, which lead to enhanced use of resources, improvement on risk management & increased customer satisfaction by meeting product or services expectations. In this case, product is RC Design of Buildings.

3 Organizations do work on various management systems, say Quality Management, Environment Management, Safety Management etc. All 3 systems apply in this case.

4 These various systems in line to ISO 9001-2008 used to work on varying management structures, causing inconvenience to interface with each other, but now all these issues shall be dealt with as framed in a common template

5 Annex SL being a high level Management System has produced a common platform, so as all systems that organization adopts can be drawn, based on Annex SL designs or format. RC Designs of Buildings can be easily defined within its format

6 Such arrangement provides many commonalities in designing system, implementation, monitoring, evaluation & improvement, by trying to eliminate conflicts that existed within ISO 9001-2008 system. Various stages related Designs of RCC Buildings can be covered within this Template successfully

7 All management systems shall have single high level identical core text, with common terms & definitions, which can be defined within Annex SL.

8 High level structure cannot be changed, but discipline specific sub clauses can be both added or changed, as such additions may be made where required, related to RCC Buildings Designs

9 Annex SL applies to all Management System standards, publically available specifications & technical specifications as well as, customised requirements.

10 Revised ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001 shall all be based on Annex SL high level structure, where related to in this case, though not included herein

11 This Annex SL template shown below is only for indicative guidance to apprise an engineer, how new system adopted by ISO effective September

Clause 6 Planning Includes1 Actions to address risks & opportunities2 Management system objectives & planning to achieve these objectives

Points for Considerations1 Being risk based thinking to front2 Ones organization pin points risks & opportunities, it has to work out how to

resolve / address through planning3 What, who, how & when these risks be addressed4 This approach replaces preventive action5 Reduces risk for corrective action later6 Objectives of management system should be measurable, communicated, aligned to

management system policy & updated as & when required


1 What points can be considered risks in structural design contracting? Not Easy.

2 FEED is not available in time 3 Information required from client is not

available in time, which can waste potential work hours

4 Site surveys are not conducted in time5 Site soil exploration is not carried out in time

per schedule6 Architect delays issues of required drawings7 Services engineers delay issues related to allied

drawings8 National parameters are not available. Require

to be worked out 9 Design service subcontract payment are not

released in schedule time from client10 All foregoing issues can be checked by
