Objective: The objective of this assignment is to plan the quality management process for the building foundation phase of an apartment building project. Students will set three activities under the Building Foundation phase, define planned durations, and establish quality metrics related to foundation to ensure project success within the planned duration and cost. Instructions:$-$ Activity Setup:Identify and list three specific activities under the Building Foundation phase of the apartment building project. Examples may include:Excavation and Site PreparationConcrete Pouring and CuringFoundation Inspection and Testing$-$Planned Duration:Determine the planned duration for each activity. Consider factors such as manpower availability, equipment availability, and weather conditions.Specify the planned duration and planned cost of each activity $-$ Quality Metrics for Concrete Foundation:Define at least two quality metrics related to the concrete pouring activity. These metrics should ensure that the concrete foundation meets quality standards and contributes to the overall success of the projectFor each quality metric, specify the acceptable mean value, the upper control limit and the lower control limit$.$Example quality metrics may include:Concrete Strength: Specify the minimum required compressive strength of the concrete mix.Thickness Uniformity: Ensure uniform thickness of the concrete foundation slab.Reinforcement Alignment: Ensure proper alignment and placement of steel reinforcement bars within the concrete.Surface Finish: Define standards for surface smoothness and finish of the concrete foundation. $-$ Relation to Planned Duration and Cost:Explain how adherence to the defined quality metrics for the concrete foundation activity will contribute to accomplishing the planned duration and cost of the project.Discuss how meeting quality standards can prevent rework, delays, and cost overruns associated with poor$-$quality workmanship or materials. Submission Guidelines:Submit a word document listing a table of the three activities under the Building Foundation phase, along with planned durations and planned costs for each activity. $(2\mathrm{.}5\%)$List a table of two quality metrics related to the concrete pouring activity. $(5\%)$Explain the relationship between quality metrics, planned duration, and project cost in a clear and concise manner. $(2\mathrm{.}5\%)$Note: Ensure that quality metrics are realistic, measurable, and aligned with project objectives to achieve successful outcomes for the apartment building project.
