M. E. Construction Engineering & Management Year - I (Semester - I)

This document provides an overview of quality assurance and quality control principles as they relate to internal dose assessment programs. It defines quality assurance as planned actions to provide confidence that requirements will be met, and quality control as operational techniques to fulfill quality requirements. It outlines important quality assurance elements like performance testing, blind testing, and audits. It stresses the importance of quality control procedures, documentation, staff training, and applying quality techniques like joint problem solving and brainstorming. The overall goal is to understand and apply quality principles to help ensure the accuracy and consistency of dosimetry programs.

Quality Assurance and Quality


Control Unit Objectives
The objectives of this unit is to outline the
principles of quality assurance and quality
control as they relate to the internal dose
assessment programme, and to stress the
importance of effective quality assurance
to internal dosimetry.
By completion of this unit, we should
understand the basic concepts of quality
assurance, and how to apply them in the
workplace.

Quality Assurance and Quality


Control Unit Outline

Quality Assurance

Quality Control

Quality methods

Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance - planned and systematic


actions necessary to provide adequate
confidence that a dosimetry product or
service will satisfy given requirements for
quality.

Examples of QA:

type testing, performance testing, and


quality audits required by a regulatory
body.

blind testing and quality audits of the


dosimetry service provider performed by
4

Why Quality Assurance?

Technical specifications may not in


themselves guarantee that a
customer's requirements will be consistently
met, if there happen to be any deficiencies in
the specifications or in the organizational
system to design and produce the service.

What is Quality?

A high standard or level.


Degree of excellence.
Distinguishing feature.
Faculty, skill, accomplishment.
Satisfaction of a customers needs or
requirements.

Quality is totality of characteristics of an


entity that bear on its ability to satisfy stated
and implied needs.

Quality assurance requirements

Registrants and licensees should be


responsible for establishing the quality
assurance programme required by the
principal requirements of the
applicable standards.

The quality assurance programme


should be designed in relation to the
magnitude and the likelihood of
potential workplace exposures.
7

QA programme should be consistent with;

Number of workers monitored

Magnitude and likelihood of exposures

Number of individuals monitored

Type of monitoring provided

Direct measurements

Indirect measurements

Choice of monitoring periods

A complete QA program needs:

Compliance with operational requirements


stated in accepted written criteria,

Clear and complete documentation of the


in-house QA program,

Periodic performance evaluations,

Documented procedures and Q.A. program


for services provided to customers,

Adequate training program for the staff.


9

A Quality Assurance programme


should provide for:
Planned and systematic actions to provide
adequate confidence that requirements for
monitoring occupational exposure are
satisfied, including provisions for feedback
of operational experience;

10

A Quality Assurance programme


should provide for:
A framework for the structuring and analysis
of
tasks,
development
of
methods,
establishment of norms and identification of
necessary skills for the execution of the
monitoring program and Validation of
designs, manufacturing and supply of
equipment and materials, as well as
operating, maintenance, inspection and
testing procedures.
11

Quality Control

Quality Control - The operational techniques and


activities that are used to fulfil requirements for
quality.

Examples of QC:

routine (i.e. daily) use of irradiated control


dosimeters,
various statistical analyses used to verify
continued system performance.

12

Quality Control demands,

Procedures and protocols for proper


management of the dosimetry program.

Dosimetry system calibration.

Routine verification of proper instrument


performance.

Detailed documentation of all measurement,


evaluation and reporting procedures.

Data recording and archiving.


13

Quality Control procedures

Should be carried out at appropriate intervals

Should cover the following:

Documentation of the required performance criteria


Identification of the person responsible for operation and
maintenance of equipment
Use of traceable radionuclide reference standards
Performance checks of measurement systems

14

Quality Control procedures

Quality Control procedures should also


cover:

Instrument calibration,
Participation in interlaboratory-comparison programs,
Computational checks,
Periodic review of procedures, specifications and operating
records,
Observation of operations and evaluation of quality control
data,

15

Quality Control procedures

Finally, Q.C. procedures should cover:

Evaluation of compliance with the


performance criteria of appropriate
standards

Evaluation of quality control data to


ensure the longterm consistency of
analytical results

Verification of determinations of
minimum detectable activities
16

Documentation of methods,
procedures and test results

Methods used and procedures set up to


control the various processes within the
service, should be well documented.

This is important for inspection of the


service by official authorities as part of an
approval system.

17

Documentation of methods,
procedures and test results

Quality Handbook

covers all aspects of the quality


system in a concise and practical way.

uses other documents as references as


needed.

Appropriate parts of the documentation


should be made available to staff
members

It may even be useful to display


operational instructions "on the spot".

18

Dosimetry staff needs to be properly trained

Basic philosophy and strategy of


individual monitoring.

Principles and methods used.

Detailed procedures.

Technicalities and potential problems of


the processes.

19

Training is a basic QA
requirement

Training is essential for direct and indirect


measurement staff

Personnel responsible for:

operation

calibration

interpretation of data, and

equipment maintenance

20

Staff training should include:

Basic philosophy and strategy of internal


dose assessment

Principles and details of the methods used

Technical details and potential problems of


the processes in which they are involved

Recognition and reporting of problems that


arise

21

Staff training should include:

Relationship of their work with other parts of


the process

Trouble shooting

Knowledge of the overall quality system and


its objectives

Their particular responsibility within the


quality system

22

Various sources of training are


available

Training can be provided through

On-the-job training

Formal classroom sessions

Technologist certification programs

Participation in intercomparison
programmes

International fellowship programmes

23

QUALITY TECHNIQUES
Joint problem solving
Brainstorming
Methods of analysis
Planning for just-in-time (JIT)
management
Aims of JIT
The operation of JIT

Joint Problem Solving


The key to success in introducing total

quality within an organisation, involving


task groups and quality circles in seeking
ways

of

continuous

improvement

to

quality, is based on a systematic approach


to joint problem solving. While details
often vary, the principles are based on:

Joint problem solving


Depersonalizing

emotions
providing

and
a

conflicts
do

by

diluting

systematic

approach

logical

framework

which

encourages the facts come to the surface so


that the facts rather than the individuals
determine

the

solution

integrating

the

objectives of the organization and the people


working in it.

BRAINSTORMING
Brainstorming is a way of getting as many ideas
as possible on a problem or a solution in the
shortest possible time. Brainstorming works
most effectively when there is a group of people
responding within the following framework:
dont discuss just concentrate on writing up
ideas as quickly as possible without criticising
anything that is said

METHODS OF ANALYSIS
Once all the data has been collected, it needs to be
analysed so that it is possible to identify the most
important causes of a problem or the key features of
a particular situation. There is mainly 3 types of
method of anaysis:
Pareto analysis
Paired comparison
Cause and effect diagrams
Matrix

JUST-IN-TIME

A strategy for inventory management in which raw


materials and components are delivered from the
vendor or supplier immediately before they are needed
in the manufacturing process
