Tips to ensure quality control throughout your process

Quality control is often:

1. A form filled out to tick a box that no cares about

2️. Left to the end of the project when there is not enough time to do it properly


Here are my top tips on delivering excellent service to your customers by weaving in quality control throughout your project.


Process Improvements in Quality Control

Quality review at the end of each phase: Waiting until the end of the project is a bad idea what if the issue is with the first stage of the project, the whole project will need to be redone. Checking quality early and throughout ensures that each stage of the project relates back to the brief and prevents lots of reworking being needed. Finding quality issues early is the key to keeping your project on brief and on track.


Clear briefing: Ensuring the people who are checking know what the original brief for the project was. If they don't understand the brief they can't check it is being met.


Use checklists: Writing checklists for people to refer to when completing a quality review ensures consistency across the process and that every aspect of the quality is reviewed.

Continuous Training: Ensure that your team is well-trained in quality control processes and standards. Regular training sessions can help keep everyone up to date with best practices and any changes in project requirements.

Customer Feedback: Encourage customers to provide feedback throughout the project and after its completion. Their insights can be invaluable for making necessary adjustments and improvements.

Learn from Mistakes: When quality issues do occur, use them as learning opportunities. Analyse the root causes of problems and implement preventive measures to avoid similar issues in the future.



Automate Where Possible: Depending on the nature of your project, consider using quality control software or automation tools. They can help streamline the process, reduce human error, and provide data analytics for continuous improvement.

Regular Reviews: Conduct regular project reviews, not just at the end of phases. Frequent check-ins can help identify and address quality issues as they arise, ensuring that the project stays on track.


Remember that quality control is an ongoing process, and it should be ingrained in the project's culture from start to finish. By following these tips and continuously striving for improvement, you can deliver higher-quality services and products to your customers.
