Project Quality Planning and Control
Project quality planning requires identifying what quality standards are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them. At Yonseol, King Jeongjo emphasized the solidity of the fortress more than its beauty.

Translation of extract shown in yellow:
"The King instructed Dochung Lee Youkyung: 'I thought you are wise enough to do the job, therefore the solidness is the most important in fortress construction, and strong foundation will lead the rest.
...
I'm saying that the gorgeousness is not important but solidity is most important.'"

Project quality control
According to the "Samok" (Management Principle), "Engraving the names of workers and supervisors at the surface of each facilities" is required. Quality Control may be defined as "Monitoring specific project results to determine whether they comply with relevant quality standards and identifying ways to eliminate causes of unsatisfactory performance." The King instructed that the names of supervisors and craftsmen inspecting the solidity of the fortress be thus engraved.
