    QMS Application field

    Our Quality Management System constitutes the basis for the preparation and application of the "Project Quality Programmes" (PQP), so that:

  • the legislation and normative requirements are fulfilled,
  • the national legislation requirements are fulfilled, according to the relevant European Norms, for the "Quality during the life cycle of the Project"
  • there is a UNIFIED (as regards the applied corporate strategy), DEFINITE (since each project is considered unique) and CONTROLLED (due to the fact that inspections are continuously applied) realisation of each project.
  • The procedures of the QMS also outline the applied human resources management policy (training – evaluation), as well as the management of all the company's supplies system (suppliers' evaluation, selection procedure).


    QMS realisation

    The realisation of the Quality Management System provisions is practically achieved through the following:

  • Through the Management's commitment. One member of the BoD is in charge of issues relevant with Quality Management policy.
  • Through the provision of a friendly and ergonomic work environment, according to the relevant legislation and ELOT 1801 Standard requirements, regarding health and safety at workplace.
  • Through constant personnel training, so that all the staff members are up-to-date with the System requirements.
  • Through the establishment and operation of a specific Quality Management Department, the Director of which is coordinating and inspecting the System's realisation.
  • Through the appointment for every Project of a Quality Manager, who is closely cooperating with the Project Manager on the Project's Quality Programme realisation.

  • The QMS as a dynamic tool for the Company's development

    The Quality Management System is the Company's vehicle for its constant expansion and development, since its core is based on the triptych "Measure-Analyze-Improve", which is implemented as follows:

  • Through the measuring of data and indicators, positive and negative (Clients' satisfaction, possible complains) that are accounted for with various indexes, so that they consist an invaluable "Management Tool"
  • Though analysing the causes for possible qualitative deviations which is accomplished by implementing numerous controls on every Project task.
  • Through the improvement of the QMS, as dictated by the Management, which is clearly proved by the new editions of the QMS.
