“…Construction industry has embraced continuous improvement initiatives for example with the adoption of six sigma methodology in quality management tool. Nevertheless, the implementation is different with other sector, because the above mentioned nature of construction projects (Bharath & Shankar, 2020). Challenges, defects and environments varied in every construction projects as every product are not repetitive (Negi, Mandaliya, Mahida, Patel, & Patyal, 2017).…”

Standardization of Quality Management System (QMS) for design consultants has not been established as a regulation by Indonesian local government. As a result, quality of design consultants varies. The research combined literature review and interviews with experts in design consultants, addressing 12 elements of quality management system based on ISO 9001 AND 9004. The quality data gathered from consultants were then verified with major users to find gaps and point of improvements. There were four finding of mismatch, namely: documentation and follow up by consultant to feed-back and complaints of service user, product verification before it reaches the service user, innovation to process, and design result. These four findings of mismatch were then looked into further with the corresponding consultant and service user. As the end of the study, a model completed with activities briefs and checklists were proposed to address mismatch and as improvement.

Six Sigma is a quality management tool which is highly effective in manufacturing industries, but implementing the six sigma in construction sector is a challenging task since each and every construction project is involved with huge quantity of money. As we all know that the quality and the cost of the constriction project are directly proportional to each other, so in the attempt of improving the quality of the project, we also end up in exceeding the budgeted cost of the project. To avoid this situation in the construction projects, the quality management tool six sigma is combined with a cost management tool Cost Benefit Analysis. This study shows the method of improving the quality of the construction process without affecting the cost of the construction. Combination of these two management tools provided an organization with a successful quality project with budgeted cost.
