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.

02

Construction work inspection: cost of poor quality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Standard work for construction work inspection without deskilling it

  • Apply structured root cause analysis to the top defect in construction work inspection.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of construction work inspection current.
  • Compare the cost of construction work inspection with the cost of its absence.

Session 2Sampling construction work inspection on evidence rather than convention

  • Set the review interval for construction work inspection and who attends.
  • Set sampling for construction work inspection on statistical grounds, not on habit.
  • Benchmark construction work inspection against a comparable operation and record the gap.
  • Verify that improvements to construction work inspection held six months later.
03

Construction work inspection: defining quality in measurable terms

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What has to be agreed before work on construction work inspection starts

  • Design the internal audit schedule covering construction work inspection.
  • Set out the decisions in construction work inspection that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Check that records of construction work inspection answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Train the team handling construction work inspection in the problem-solving method being used.

Session 2Sustaining the gain on construction work inspection after the project ends

  • Define quality for construction work inspection in terms the customer would recognise.
  • Calculate the cost of poor quality attributable to construction work inspection.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to construction work inspection will be introduced.

  • Identify the few causes responsible for most defects in construction work inspection.

Session 2Control plans for construction work inspection that catch problems early

  • Set escalation thresholds for construction work inspection that work out of hours.
  • Confirm that those complying with construction work inspection understand why it exists.
  • Map the process behind construction work inspection by walking it, not by describing it.
  • Estimate the resource construction work inspection requires to run as designed.
