Course Overview

Inspection catches problems in construction rework reduction; it does not prevent them. Most defects in this aspect of quality and productivity management are designed in long before they are detected. It concentrates on the parts of the practice within quality and productivity management that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Improvement in construction rework reduction stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The professional literature on this area of quality and productivity management converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Every module pairs a short input on this aspect of quality and productivity management with structured practice on the participant's own material. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to construction rework reduction in an order their organisation can absorb. The programme suits teams tackling the practice within quality and productivity management together as readily as individuals attending alone. The final module sets out how progress on this area of quality and productivity management will be evidenced six months later.

  • Build the competence framework that supports construction rework reduction.

Session 2Agreeing what good actually means for construction rework reduction

  • Set escalation thresholds for construction rework reduction that work out of hours.
  • Assemble certification evidence for construction rework reduction as work proceeds, not before the audit.

03

Construction rework reduction: internal audit and certification evidence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Standard work for construction rework reduction without deskilling it

  • Check that construction rework reduction still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Apply structured root cause analysis to the top defect in construction rework reduction.
  • Identify single points of dependency in construction rework reduction and reduce them.

Session 2Sampling construction rework reduction on evidence rather than convention

  • Set sampling for construction rework reduction on statistical grounds, not on habit.
  • Set the review cadence that sustains gains in construction rework reduction.
  • Check that records of construction rework reduction answer the questions likely to be asked.

04

Construction rework reduction: mapping the process as actually performed

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The hard cases in construction rework reduction and how to reason about them

  • Anticipate the objections construction rework reduction will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Record what was tried on construction rework reduction and did not work, and why.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether construction rework reduction is improving.

Session 2Benchmarking construction rework reduction without flattering yourself

  • Design the internal audit schedule covering construction rework reduction.
  • Benchmark the organisation's construction rework reduction against comparable operations.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about construction rework reduction.
  • Rehearse the briefing on construction rework reduction that would follow an incident.
