Abstract
The average cost of rework on industrial projects exceeds 12 percent. For the $140 billion U.S. construction industry, this means that we waste in excess of $17 billion annually. These costs can be significantly reduced through better quality manageme
Key Findings
RS10-1, The Quality Performance Management System (QPMS)

Is a management tool providing for the quantitative analysis of certain quality-related aspects of design and construction by systematically collecting and classifying the costs of quality. The cost of quality is defined as the cost of correcting deviations (rework) plus the cost of quality management activities. (RS10-1, p. 23)
