Referring to Construction Projects, we should not forget that every project must have a planned sequence, of operations and especially in complex fabrications, planning and timely execution of all processes is crucial.

• Inspection & Test Plan, widely known as ITP is the Corner Stone of the Quality Control (QC) Process

• The purpose of an Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) is to provide a single document, that indicates all inspection and testing requirements, relevant to a specific process and provides records.

• The ITP is used by both, the Client and the Manufacturer and all-important items are signed off by both, as work progresses.

• An ITP should address the following:

➢ Inspection and test coverage,

➢ Inspection and test methods,

➢ Acceptance criteria, records, reports, and

➢ Inspection and test responsibilities

• ITP is a very analytical Plan of when, what and how you will conductinspections to ensure your work is meeting all necessary Standards.

• It details the critical points at various stages, within a process forscheduled inspections and verifications, to make sure the job isprogressing as it should be.

• An ITP might refer to different checklists for each inspection point, or couldrefer to a code or standard, that sets out the requirements for what andhow the check must be performed,

• A simple ITP can closely match a checklist, but is not the same as anInspection Checklist.

• The Inspection & Test Plan is like a Work Instruction and the Checklist is aform that becomes the actual record. Both the ITP and Checklist aredocuments that must be controlled.

The ITP’s function is to:

➢ Break down the Production Process into single tasks,

➢ Identify the items of materials and work to be inspected or tested,

➢ Identify parties responsible for the specific inspection or testing activities,

➢ Identify the stage of production and the frequency of inspection and testing

Identify important milestones & the Inspection Points:

➢ Hold (H),

➢ Witness (W),

➢ Spot Witness (SW),

➢ Monitoring (M),

➢ Review (R)

Quality Management is the process of ensuring that all project activitiesnecessary to design, plan and implement a project are effective and efficientwith respect to the purpose of the objective and its performance. In simplewords, Quality Management is the attempt of assuring the successful deliveryof Quality products or services.

Project Management is the application of processes, methods, skills, knowledgeand experience to achieve specific project objectives according to the projectacceptance criteria. Project management has final deliverables that areconstrained to a very specific timescale and budget.

“Quality Management is everything we must do, to make sure we produceand deliver on time, but Project Management is about people getting thingsdone."

But from the point “what we must do”, to the point “the things we real do”,there is always a GAP, that changes the original calculations, and deviates fromthe original schedule.

To eliminate this gap Swiss Approval applies “Project Quality Management”Practice.

The main principle of Project Quality Management is to ensure, the project willmeet or even exceed its initial needs and expectations. Project qualitymanagement is the process, through which Quality, is managed and maintainedthroughout a project.

According to this concept, Swiss Approval always use its specialized personnel inorder to create a Team, responsible to run a Project by following and applying aspecific Inspection & Test Plan.
