Descripción
The purpose of this paper is to describe the Quality System that has
been implemented in the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) project to assure
the quality of the GTC Telescope. This project is a high-tech
scientific-engineering program and therefore it is important, as well as
in other programs, that a common working methodology is set up among the
participants. The vehicle used to meet this goal has been an Quality
System consisting of the Quality Manual and the Operative Procedures.
The first step in this effort has been to define what Quality is for the
GTC. There are many definitions of Quality, and it was decided to adopt
the following definition: `Quality is the fulfillment of the GTC
requirements within the Project Schedule and Budget'. The present paper
summarizes the process followed to set up the Quality System and the
structure of this system, including the Quality Manual and the Operative
Procedures.
