Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Construction is a sector where final effect too rarely meets expectations of investors in terms of quality. Using tools of quality management in this sector remains not much popular and does not have many enthusiasts. This approach results from specific construction activities that are characterized by the lack of repeatable results, which causes that using tools and principles of TQM is much more difficult than in production enterprises. Continual improvement is the only way to improve competitiveness of an enterprise and to satisfy customers. One of the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) is process approach. The paper aim is indication and analysis of basic, auxiliary and service processes in construction services in order to improve quality of these processes. Area of factors that affect quality of construction was analysed in four areas: project quality, quality of subjects of labour, quality of means of labour and product quality. Based on the analysis of determinants of quality of construction services, a model of process approach was developed for the enterprises in this sector. The paper identifies the factors which most substantially reduce quality of construction processes: improper build quality (33.11%) and irregularities in the construction project (24.9%).<br/><br/>
