Which of the following is typically part of a quality management plan?

• A. Cost Estimate Review
• B. Installation procedures
• C. Procedures for receiving material
• D. Project organizational structure

Answer: (B)

A quality management plan defines how quality will be achieved and verified throughout the project. It covers the methods, standards, and activities that ensure work is performed to meet the specified requirements. Installation procedures fit squarely here because they spell out the approved way to perform installations—the sequence, workmanship standards, tools, materials, tolerances, and acceptance criteria. When teams follow these procedures, the work tends to be consistent and verifiable, making it easier to inspect, test, and confirm that the installation meets design intent and quality standards.

Cost estimate review falls under cost management, focusing on budgeting and financial control rather than how work is performed to meet quality. Procedures for receiving material relate to procurement and supply chain controls; while receipt checks can influence quality, they’re not typically the central element of the quality plan. Project organizational structure is part of the overall project management plan, not the quality plan.
