In-Field Equipment Inspection has two primary functions: first is the monitoring of the Quality Control function and second is the Quality Assurance function. The Quality Control Function ensures that the system is operating properly; the Quality Assurance Function defines and implements programs that support continuous improvement of long term safety and reliability of plant process equipment.
Quality Assurance includes the following activities:
- Monitor corrosion rates and predict equipment life.
- Maintain and review current Fixed Equipment Program (F.E.P.)
- Adjust or modify local F.E.P to comply with regulatory requirements.
- Provide technical support and advice in development and implementation.
- Provide records and documentation.
Our Quality Assurance audits provide an important indication of our ability to perform such as:
- Review of quality policies and practices.
- Review of procedures.
- Review of training records.
- Review of calibration methods and storage and handling of critical equipment.
- Review of methods for materials traceability.
- Review of handling non-conforming product or materials.
- Records and document review.
- Internal audits and surveillance.
- Continuing improvement processes.
- Control of sub-suppliers.
