Our processes are driven by Lend Lease, our corporate parent and are imperatives for quality processes. Our Global Minimum Project Standards define the way that we operate in all areas of the world to provide consistent results in all facets of our business. Further, Bovis Lend Lease has developed Total Quality Management techniques into their own quality management process called Project Success Planning or PSP. This is based on W Edwards Deming's Continuous Improvement Cycle of PDCA (Plan Do Check Act). Project Success Planning guarantees the success of the project through a continuous improvement process focusing on the fundamental principle of PDCA. PSP is a macro process that integrates key project processes and sub-processes. When Stakeholders (the owner/developer, the design team, the subcontractors and Bovis Lend Lease) join together to construct a project, each has a part to play and all depend on each other to succeed. It is much like a new company being formed to produce a new product. Like a company, the building team needs to plan for the mission ahead. If consensus is reached on this mission and !he team members support each other while striving for it, total success is inevitable. PSP is the process we use to bond all Stakeholders into an efficient team. Requesr for Quatifications No. 09-03-01 Profession,,1 Construcrion Services lor rhe Heritage Park and Parking Garage . IJ1
