Test the organisation's response to construction work inspection under conditions that are less than ideal.
Designing Quality Inspection Criteria for Completed Construction Work
Build a working method for construction work inspection that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Variation in construction work inspection is the enemy; averages conceal it. Improvement in this area of quality and productivity management that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. The professional literature on the practice within quality and productivity management converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The difficulty is not agreeing that construction work inspection matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the quality and productivity management discipline it covers ends in something applicable. Participants gain a realistic view of what the quality and productivity management capability costs and what it returns. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of construction work inspection and supervised application. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of quality and productivity management work with the resources they already have. The programme closes with an action plan for the quality and productivity management discipline that each participant writes for their own organisation.
