  "description": "<p>ADVISOR: MISGANU GETAHUN (PhD)</p>\n\n<p>This investigation set out to evaluate the Ethiopia Road Authority Naqamte brach&#39;s project quality management procedures. Utilizing both primary and secondary data, the study used descriptive research methodology with the overall goal of evaluating quality management practices and major quality management challenges in order to meet its objective. Client representatives, consultant teams, and contractor teams comprised the study&#39;s target population; with a total of 128 participants. Sensing method was one of the sampling techniques employed by the researcher. Q&amp;A sessions and questioner distribution yielded quantitative data from 107 study participants, while interviews yielded qualitative data. In order to measure the research results by testing its reliability, the questionnaire underwent validation and its internal consistencies were found to be stable and reliable. The statistical package for social science (SPSS, version 26) was used to process the data. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to examine the quantitative data. The data was tabulated and used in descriptive analysis to describe the project environments&#39; state. The study&#39;s findings showed that, despite some procedures being skipped, Ethiopia Road Authority&#39;s Naqamte branch used all phases of the quality management process in its project quality management procedures. It is discovered that the main quality management instruments and procedures utilized to regulate project quality are statistical sampling and inspection. The three most important factors in determining the quality of Ethiopia Road Authority Naqamte branch construction projects are qualified and experienced personnel, high-quality materials and equipment used in the project construction, and conformance to specifications. This study looks at the different quality assurance steps that were taken, such as defining project objectives and monitoring tasks that were primarily completed at a weekly, monthly, or quarterly level with management members involved. Inadequate management support, issues with contractors, impractical deadlines, and a lack of a quality management policy and strategy were also noted as major obstacles to quality management. Additionally, a separate quality management policy for the Ethiopia Road Authority&#39;s Naqamte branch was suggested by the study.
