Quality Control and Quality Assurance
• Quality control (QC) are activities to check the quality of all factors involved in production.
• Quality Control emphasizes testing of the end products to uncover defects and reporting to management who make the decision to allow or deny product release.
• Quality assurance (QA) are the systematic activities
implemented to ensure that the quality requirements for a product or service will be fulfilled.
• It is the systematic measurement, comparison with a standard, monitoring of processes and an associated feedback loop that confers error prevention.

QC/QA and Quality Management
• Quality control is focused on process outputs. • Quality assurance attempts to improve and stabilize
production (and associated processes) to avoid, or at least minimize, issues which led to the defect(s) in the first place.
• Quality management are the activities to ensure that an organization or product is consistent, consist of the four main components: quality planning, quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement.
• Quality management is focused not only on quality of the product or service but also the means to achieve it and to improve the quality.

Other guidance in nuclear installations/activities
But in the nuclear industry we need to ensure more than a high of quality only we also have to have a high level of: • Nuclear safety • Radiation protection • Environmental protection • Occupational health • Security • Safeguards • Economics How we are doing this?
5
A single and coherent system should be developed in which
all the parts of an organization are integrated to
enable achieving its objectives.

Integrated Management Systems
All individuals are contributing as an integral
part of their activities.
All to ensure that safety is not compromised.

safety
Consideration of requirements separately may introduce negative impact on safety
GS-R-3 Versus ISO9001:2008
GS-R-3 • Safety Standards; • Nuclear industry
specific; • Integrated management
approach and process based;
• All requirements are mandatory but a graded approach on their application may be used.
ISO9001 • Non-safety Standards • Applicable to any
organization; • Only quality management
requirements; • Exclusion of requirements
is allowed; • No environmental
protection requirements.
Requirements not in ISO9001:2008
• Safety • Environment, health, security • Safety culture • Knowledge management • Self-assessment • Emergency Preparedness • Managing organizational change

Management of an organization
An Integrated Management System is how do we manage our organization
How is the organization being managed? How do the pieces of how we manage fit together?

MISSION, VISION
• Why are we in business? • How do we do business? • What are the drivers for our
industry? • What does the environment
tell us? • Where do we want to be? • Where are we now? • How can we reach B • What changes do we want to
make? • How long will it take us to
make the changes?
CHANGES NEEDED TO CLOSE THE GAP

What to do to implement an IMS
What are Key Success factors
and business fundamentals?
MISSION, VISION, POLICY
• What do we have to do in this phase to build a NPP • What do we have to comply with – regulations, laws,
etc? • What are/will be our key success factors • How would we measure success? • The answers will lead to business plan and objectives
• What do we contribute to society
• How do we like to do this
Business plan
and objectives
Processes
MISSION, VISION,POLICY
• Which sub-processes do we need? • When is a (sub) process successful? • Are responsibilities clearly defined and understood by every
one: who is doing what? • Who will be the process owners and what are his/her
responsibilities?
• What are our processes for this phase?
• What are the input requirements?
• What are the deliverables in a process?

• What are interfaces with other processes (internal/external)?

• Which instructions should be prepared

Processes cross organizational boundaries. Processes enhance horizontal organizational
intelligence.

Managing by Process
• Requires the organization to: – integrate structure and process – shift focus from departmental control to process control
• Requires interdisciplinary systems thinking and cooperation
• Requires the organization to manage the integration of new activities in a systematic fashion
Process Owners play a key role in promoting integrative, ‘systems’ thinking, and managing temptations to ‘bolt-on’ new programs without
considering their fit within the system 16
17
Observations during IAEA missions 1/2
• A belief that a Management Systems and Safety Culture is something only for plants in operation
• Safety requirements, management system requirements and safety culture requirements not always properly included in the call for tender, bidding process or selection of contractors and sub-contractors
• Selection of contractors and sub-contractors often based on price. Technical, safety and quality competences are often not considered
• Unclear roles and responsibilities
• No clear review and approval routes
Observations during IAEA missions 2/2
• Lack of proper leadership
• Reporting of non-conformances too late, or not at all, due to national and organizational constrains
• Difficulties in managing multi-national and multi-cultural network organizations
• Lack of a pro-active prevention of problems
• No clear communication strategy
• Communication to the public is not structured
Observation regarding ‘QA/QM’ Systems

Why should we implement and IMS ?
What are the drivers motivating organisations to seek the benefits of a coherent management system and a
sound safety culture? Legislative/ license requirements for an IMS and Safety Culture ?
NO That it is an IAEA requirement?
NO
Drivers
Ensure safe and sound environment for us and for our children
Ensure safe working conditions Safe NPP operation within the
planning and budget Doing the things right the first time
Drivers
Public acceptance of our activities
Stakeholders satisfaction
Obey regulatory requirements
Obey IAEA requirements

Benefits
An IMS ensures clear goals, policies, strategies, objectives and organisational alignment
• Well established goals, policies, strategies, plans and objectives promotes
– alignment at all levels of the organisation – verification and enforcement of requirements through
periodic assessment and review – Creates better awareness of requirements
An process based IMS • Assigns responsibility to achieve the organisation’s
objectives • Enables clear responsibilities and clear leadership • Facilitates open communication up and down the line
