K. MATERIAL INSPECTION TRACEABILITY AND

QUALITY CONTROLS
Products and materials are controlled to assure the use of only correct and acceptable items. Controls
include identification of the inspection status. Materials that require lot control traceability and the
method of traceability are listed on the Controlled Materials form included as an exhibit in this
subsection.

IDENTIFICATION OF LOT CONTROLLED MATERIALS

The Quality Manager determines types of project materials that require quality controls.

For each type of quality-controlled material, the Quality Manager determines lot control traceability
requirements, if any, and specifies the means of lot identification. Identification methods may include
physical labels, tags, markings and/or attached certification documents.

When lot-controlled materials are received, the Superintendent verifies that materials have the specified
lot identifications.

The Superintendent maintains lot identification at all production phases from receipt, through production,
installation, or assembly, to final completion. Acceptable methods for preserving lot identification include
physically preserving observable lot identifications, recording the lot identification on a work task quality
inspection form or other work record, or collecting the physical lot identifier as a record along with
supplemented with location.

If lot-controlled materials are without lot identification, the Superintendent deems the materials as
nonconforming and segregates them and/or clearly marks them to prevent inadvertent use. The
Superintendent treats the material according to the company policy for nonconformances. Only the
Quality Manager can re-identify or re-certify the materials.

MATERIAL RECEIVING AND INSPECTION

When lot-controlled materials are received, the Operations Manager inspects the materials and verifies
that materials have the specified lot identifications. Received materials are listed on the Material
Receiving and Inspection Report form or Metals Materials Receiving and Inspection form included as an
exhibit in this subsection.

Material quality inspections and tests ensure that purchased materials meet purchase contract quantity
and quality requirements. The Superintendent inspects or ensures that a qualified inspector inspects
materials prior to use for conformance to project quality requirements.

The Superintendent ensures that each work task that uses the source-inspected materials proceed only
after the material has been accepted by the material quality inspection or test.

L. CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION AND TEST PLAN

The Quality Inspection and Test Plan form lists inspections and tests (other than work task inspections)
that will be performed on this project.

Results of inspections and tests will be recorded on the Inspection and Test Form.
Form exhibits are included as an exhibit in this subsection.

CALIBRATION OF INSPECTION, MEASURING, AND TEST EQUIPMENT

The Quality Manager determines inspection, measuring, and test equipment that will be controlled,
calibrated, and maintained.

Records of calibrations will be maintained including calibration certificates documenting of traceability to

national standards.

A list of controlled and calibrated test equipment is listed on the Test Equipment Calibration Plan and Log
included as an exhibit in this subsection.

The Quality Manager evaluates the project requirements and determines if there are measuring devices
that require controls to assure quality results.

For each type of device, the Quality Manager identifies:

 Restrictions for selection

 Limitations on use.
 Calibration requirements including the frequency of calibration. All calibrations must be
traceable to national measurement standards.
When a measurement device is found not to conform to operating tolerances, the Quality Manager
validates the accuracy of previous measurements.

7. PROCESS CONTROLS
HOW WORK IS CARRIED OUT

7.1. OVERVIEW
The construction process plan defines how project work is to be done and approved for the overall
project. The construction process plan is communicated to all key personnel, subcontractors and suppliers
in a startup meeting. As the project proceeds, work task plans provide additional details of how each
individual work task is carried out. Work tasks planning meetings are used to communicate expectations
of the work task plan to key personnel responsible for carrying out the work task.

7.2. PROJECT STARTUP AND QUALITY CONTROL COORDINATION MEETING

Prior to the commencement of work, the Project Manager holds a meeting to discuss and coordinate how
project work will be performed and controlled. Key personnel from [CompanyName], subcontractors and
suppliers meet to review expectations for project quality results as well as quality assurance and quality
control policies and procedures including:

 Key requirements of the project

 The Project Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan
 Required quality inspections and tests
 The project submittal schedule
 Quality policies and heightened awareness of critical quality requirements

7.3.2. PREPARATORY SITE INSPECTION
The Superintendent also performs a quality inspection of the work area and:

 Assesses completion of required prior work

 Verifies field measurements
 Assures availability and receiving quality inspection status of required materials
 Identifies any nonconformances to the requirements for the work task to begin
 Identifies potential problems

7.3.3. WORK TASK PREPARATORY QUALITY PLANNING MEETINGS

Prior to the start of a work task, the Superintendent conducts a meeting with key company, subcontractor
personnel responsible for carrying out, supervising, or inspecting the work, and interested customer
representatives.

During the meeting, the Superintendent communicates the work task quality requirements and reinforces
heightened awareness for critical requirements. Topics for a work task quality plan meeting include:

 Conflicts that need resolution

 Required quality documents and a verification of availability to personnel carrying out,
supervising, or inspecting the work task
 Record keeping requirements and the availability of necessary forms
 Review methods and sequences of installation
 Special details and conditions
 Standards of workmanship
 Heightened awareness of critical quality requirements
 Quality risks
 Work tasks quality inspection form

7.4. WEEKLY QUALITY PLANNING AND COORDINATION MEETINGS

The Superintendent conducts a meeting with key company, subcontractor and supplier personnel
responsible for carrying out, supervising, or inspecting the work, and interested customer representatives.

The meeting is held on a nominal weekly schedule. During the meeting, the Superintendent facilitates
coordination among the participants, communication among the participants, and reinforces heightened
awareness for critical requirements.

The Superintendent maintains a record of the meeting event on the Daily Quality Control Report.

7.5. PROCESS CONTROL STANDARDS

7.5.1. JOB-READY START WORK STANDARDS

Work on a work task starts only when conditions do not adversely impact quality, comply with
government regulations, contract technical specifications, industry standards, or product installation
instructions.

The Quality Manager identifies supplemental start-work requirements that apply to a specific project
when they are necessary to assure quality results.

7.5.2. WORK IN PROCESS STANDARDS

Work is conducted only when conditions do not adversely impact quality, comply with government
regulations, contract technical specifications, industry standards, or product installation instructions.

The Quality Manager identifies supplemental work in process requirements that apply to a specific project
when they are necessary to assure quality results.

7.5.3. PROTECTION OF COMPLETED WORK STANDARDS

Completed work is protected from damage as specified by government regulations, contract technical
specifications, industry standards, or product installation instructions.

The Quality Manager identifies supplemental protection requirements that apply to a specific project
when they are necessary to assure quality results.

7.5.4. MATERIAL STORAGE

The Superintendent ensures all materials will be delivered, stored and handled in a manner that protects
them from damage, moisture, dirt and intrusion of foreign materials.

Delivery of materials will be planned according to the work progress to minimize storage on site, where
there are higher possibilities of damages and deterioration of materials.

Stored materials will be segregated to prevent cross contamination and limit losses should a delivery be
rejected.

The Superintendent surveys stored materials during daily jobsite reviews and identifies any material that
have incurred damage or otherwise become defective and therefore unfit for use.

7.5.5. CONTROLLED USE OF MATERIALS

The Project Manager ensures that contracts and purchase orders are awarded only to outside
organizations qualified to perform the work task and/or supply materials as required for the specific
project.

Only approved materials are used in the construction process. Only approved materials are specified in
purchase and/or subcontracts.

Materials that are defective, deteriorated, damaged, or not approved are not used. The Superintendent
clearly marks such materials for non-use or otherwise holds them aside.

When customer-supplied materials are lost, damaged, or otherwise found unsuitable for use, the
Superintendent reports such findings to the customer.

When subcontractor–supplied materials are damaged or otherwise found unsuitable for use, the
Superintendent reports such findings to the subcontractor.

The Superintendent ensures that construction uses only materials specified in the contract technical
specifications, contract drawings, and approved submittals. Substitutions are made only by agreement of
the customer and documented by a change order (see section 2.1.3.6).
7.5.5.1. CONTROLLED PRODUCT USE AND INSTALLATION
[CompanyName] construction activities conform to manufacturers’ product use and installation in-
structions that apply to the construction process.
When installing a product, the Superintendent has access to all applicable product installation
instructions.

7.6. DAILY QUALITY CONTROL REPORT

The Superintendent records a summary of daily work activities. The report will include:
 Schedule Activities Completed
 General description of work activities in progress.
 Problems encountered, actions taken, problems, and delays
 Meetings held, participants, and decisions made
 Subcontractor and Supplier and Company Crews on site
 Visitors and purpose
 General Remarks
 Improvement Ideas
 Weather conditions

7.7. MONTHLY QUALITY CONTROL REPORT

When a monthly quality control report is required by the Project Quality Plan, the Superintendent records
a monthly status report. The report includes:

 A summary of work completed and work in progress

 Outstanding issues
 Issues resolved during the reporting period
 Outstanding potential change orders
 Project status with current project costs and estimated completion date
 A cost analysis summarizing actual costs to date and estimated future costs

9. NONCONFORMANCES AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

9.1. OVERVIEW
Should a nonconformance be identified by an inspection there is a systematic method to control the item,
correct it, and ensure that project quality is not adversely impacted by the event.

A nonconformance is any item that does not meet project specifications or [CompanyName] Quality
System requirements.

9.2. NONCONFORMANCES

9.2.1. MARKING OF NONCONFORMANCES AND OBSERVATIONS

When the Quality Manager, Superintendent, inspector, or customer identifies a nonconformance or an
observation, the item is quickly and clearly marked by tape, tag, or other easily observable signal to
prevent inadvertent cover-up.

9.2.2. CONTROL THE CONTINUATION OF WORK

After the item is marked, the Superintendent determines if work can continue in the affected area:

CONTINUE WORK: When continuing work does not adversely affect quality or hide the defect, work may
continue in the affected area while the disposition of the item is resolved. The Superintendent may place
limitations on the continuation of work.

STOP WORK ORDER: When continuing work can adversely affect quality or hide the defect, work must
stop in the affected area until the disposition of the item resolved. The Superintendent identifies the
limits of the affected area. The Superintendent quickly and clearly identifies the boundaries of the stop
work area.

9.2.3. NONCONFORMANCE REPORT

9.2.3.1. RECORDING OF NONCONFORMANCES
If nonconformances or observed items exist by the work task completion inspection, the Superintendent
or inspector records the nonconformances on a nonconformance report.

The Superintendent sends the nonconformance report to the Quality Manager.

9.2.3.2. QUALITY MANAGER DISPOSITION OF NONCONFORMANCE REPORTS

When the Quality Manager receives a Nonconformance Report, he or she assesses the affect the reported
nonconformance has on form, fit, and function. The Quality Manager may assign a disposition of either:

REPLACE: The nonconformance can be brought into conformance with the original specification
requirements by replacing the nonconforming item with a conforming item.

REPAIR: The nonconformance can be brought into conformance with the original requirements through
completion of required repair operations.

REWORK: The nonconformance can be made acceptable for its intended use, even though it is not
restored to a condition that meets all specification requirements. The Quality Manager may specify

Page 37
Quality Manual
Copyright
standards that apply to the completion of rework. Rework nonconformances must be approved by the
customer.

USE AS-IS: When the nonconforming item is satisfactory for its intended use. Any use as-is items that do
not meet all specification requirements must be approved by the customer.

9.2.4. CORRECTION OF NONCONFORMANCES

The Superintendent verifies that corrective actions eliminate the nonconformance to the requirements of
the original specifications or as instructed by the disposition of the nonconformance report, and then
removes, obliterates, or covers the nonconformance marker.

Furthermore, the Superintendent ensures that previously completed work is reinspected for similar
nonconformances and corrective actions are taken to avert future occurrences (see section 9.3 Corrective
Actions).

9.3. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

9.3.1. CONTROL OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

When a nonconformance is found, the Superintendent ensures that:

 Previously completed work is reinspected for similar nonconformances

 Corrective actions are taken to avert future occurrences
The Quality Manager identifies requirements for corrective actions with respect to frequency, severity,
and detectability of quality nonconformances items found during and after completion of work activities.

When a solution requires changes to [CompanyName] quality standards, the Quality Manager makes
modifications as necessary by making changes to:

 Material specifications
 Personnel qualifications
 Subcontractor and Supplier qualifications
 Company standards
 Inspection processes

9.3.2. CORRECTIVE ACTION TRAINING

The Superintendent initiates corrective action training to address quality nonconformances. Personnel
and subcontractors and suppliers performing or inspecting work participate in the training.

Heightened awareness during quality inspections verifies and documents compliance with the corrective
action improvement items. A qualified Superintendent inspects corrective actions during regular quality
inspections and records observations on the quality inspection form.

The Superintendent notifies affected subcontractors and suppliers of selected preventive action training
requirements.

The Superintendent evaluates the effectiveness of the improvements. The Quality Manager reviews
improvement results recorded on quality inspection records and monthly field reviews. When the Quality
Manager determines that the improvement actions are effective, the item is no longer treated as a
preventive action.
