Pre-Job Package Reviews
A pre-job package review process will assist in indentify shortcomings, before you start a job; which will help to preclude recurrence in the future. An up-front three-step review process will help to minimize the number of problem jobs. You probably have some form of package review; however if it is not documented, and you are not aware of the potential problems with the job, you will continue to encounter problems.
What is a Pre-Job Package Review Process? Why do I need one? If you can identify and correct problems before stating work, you will save time and money on what would have been wasted on delays of non-reimbursable labor, material and equipment.Start with a Pre-Survey Review of the job package by your Back Office Staff. This review in part would be of the schedule, prints, permits, material, etc. Next conduct a Pre-Job Inspection by your Superintendent. Ensure that scope of work is identified and ready to begin; then review procedures, inspections and tests for understanding.
Finally turn the job package over to the Foreman for review and final sign-off. If you do not have a documented pre-job package review process, consider utilizing an audit consultant to assist your team, or perform this for you, so that you can focus on what’s most important to you - your customers.At Storti Quality Consulting, we take pride in helping our customers use quality management practices to enhance results and increase profits.
