Electronic Management of Paint Records - Paperless QA
Available for download

The previous quality control process at Newport News Shipbuilding for recording surface preparation, paint application, and associated inspections used a paper system. These records required a vast amount of physical storage space, were difficult to research and track due to the complexity of the records often consisting of multiple sheets of data. To address these problems along with others that contribute to inadequate maintenance of objective quality evidence, the company decided to take the initiative in resolving this issue by developing a paperless QA system.

To address these problems along with others that contribute to inadequate maintenance of objective quality evidence, the company decided to take the initiative in resolving this issue by developing a paperless QA system. This paperless system migrated the previous paper process to an electronic storage and tracking alternative where multiple users are able to access the data and, at the point of an inspection, use the electronic signature process as verification of completion. The system maintains all business functionalities while minimizing manual entry errors and identifying out-of-spec data. Also, the additional ability to generate electronic reports consisting of key data fields provides an alternative which eliminates the need for excessive physical storage space and time spent physically maintaining often cumbersome records. The primary goal of the project was to electronically manage the preservation documentation processes to improve visibility, tracking and handling of coating preservation records.

(Case Studies) Crisis Management for Construction Projects

Product Number: 43-COAT_DEC21
Author: Dr. Akram Saad
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Construction companies will experience a crisis at some point during its existence.
This is especially true for construction companies, where it is not a matter of “if” one will happen but “when” it will happen. A crisis is the sudden occurrence of any unplanned or unexpected event that causes harm to the project /company, employees, or the public. The crisis could be a medical/safety emergency, a natural disaster, or personnel crisis dealing with unethical or illegal activities.
Construction companies must always operate with a “better safe than sorry” mindset. A proactive way to do so is to ensure that there is a crisis management plan in place.
