Project Management And Quality Control For Health Services And Awareness For Disability

The organization structure develops a well defined understanding about authorities and responsibilities along with the communication structure. The current project focuses on providing health services and awareness for disability. The project management team structure for the same will be as under.

The product break structure helps in effectively analyzing the products associated with the overall projects and also different measures which need to be undertaken to attain reliable outcome for the same. The PBS for Providing health services and awareness for disability has been discussed as below:

The project plan for the mentioned project will be as follows:

• Plan prerequisites – The project team will ensure that government policies and regulation regarding disabled aboriginals is critically analyzed and evaluated so that the project can be initiated in the planned manner. Any gap in understanding of the policies or guidelines may result in project delay through planning gap.
• External dependencies – The external factors which will helps in ensuring project success will be 1. Government and regulatory support 2. Financial assistance
• Planning assumptions – The project success will depend upon the assumptions 1. Goals and objectives developed for the project are achievable; 2. Project will be completed in 5 months and $40000. 3. All the activities will be carried out in the mentioned schedule and time.
• Lessons incorporated – It has been analyzed that there is a significant requirement of creating awareness within disabled aboriginals as they do not have much knowledge of health and support services available. Moreover awareness may help in minimizing the health inequalities within the selected segment.  
• Monitoring and control – Effective scheduling and implementing TQM for quality control
• Budgets – The proposed budget for the project is $35400.
• Tolerances – the proposed time for the project is 5 months, cost will be $35400 and scope will be to develop health services and awareness for disability.
• Product descriptions – Different products for the project will be 1. Initiation 2. Planning 3. Execution and monitoring 4. Project evaluation and 5. Project closure
• Schedule – The project schedule has been represented as under through graphical representation.

The quality management is one of the critical tasks that are required to be adopted for maintaining standard of the project. The maintenance of quality in project helps in ensuring the success of project with its delivery on time. As per the above developed PBS, there are various stages in which various tasks will be accomplished (Lechler, Edington and Gao, 2012). As per this, the initiation stage undertakes various tasks like evaluating market, analysis of project scope and drafting of aims and objectives. As per this, there is a great relevance of this stage to be accomplished in proper manner so that steps can be taken towards right direction. Similarly, the planning stage will help in determination of budget and idea of required resources so that delays can be avoided while execution process (Chang, 2013). The next stage of execution and monitoring is based on allocating various resources so that no confusion related to roles and responsibilities can be created. Afterwards, the evaluation of entire project will be done by reviewing its determined time and scope. On evaluating entire project its closure can be done properly. These stages act as a milestone to maintain standard and quality in the whole project.

To assure the quality within undertaken project, TQM approach can be adopted which will help in fixing standards for each task and its comparison with actual results. Thus, the deviation identified will be removed to maintain quality of project (Eskerod and Vaagaasar, 2014). The success of a project management is entirely dependent on three elements which are time, budget and scope. A project must be delivered on time and under the set budget which will ensure its success. Besides this, the scope of project must not be crossed and it should be undertaken as per the decided scope. Only allocation of resource and executing the plan will not help in ensuring the quality of project (Hu, Chan, Le and Jin, 2013). It must be continued in the decided sequence as all tasks are interdependent. Thus, it will aid in generating effective results for the project. In addition to this, to have an effective control over quality of project, the comparison between fixed standard and the actual outcomes can be done (Pryke and Smyth, 2012). This will show a clear picture related to the status of project so as to maintain its quality.

To maintain the quality control activities in present project, there can be following roles and responsibilities:
