Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is part of an extensive study conducted by Research Team 308 Achieving Zero Rework Through Effective Supplier Quality Practices from the Construction Industry Institute (CII). The main objectives of this study are centered on the belief that owners, contractors, and suppliers in the construction industry engage in multiple supplier quality (SQ) practices to ensure that project components are procured to the site with the highest quality possible in order to avoid any rework associated with components that are defective or do not conform to the required specifications. Furthermore, data obtained for this study focuses on four different types of material: tagged/engineered equipment, fabricated goods (structural steel and pipe spools), and manufactured/bulk goods (non-engineered/bulk valves). The first outcome of this study was the development of a Supplier Quality Process Map (SQPM) that illustrates how the process of procuring components to the project site with sufficient quality is currently being implemented by the Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC) industry. A detailed description of the SQPM is provided and depicts five major stages within the process. The first two stages illustrate the supplier selection process and the development of a quality plan. These stages are known as planning and selection and execution. The last three stages pertain to key milestones where measurements for the quality of the production process occur; these stages are release from shop, received on site, and mechanical completion The second outcome was a statistical analysis of how SQ practices are used by EPC contractors and how these SQ practices impact the resulting quality of goods supplied based on the number of non-conformances (NCs) throughout the process outlined in the SQPM. The statistical analysis resulted in several findings related to the SQ process: More NCs are found when more time is spent observing and inspecting work; developing a quality control/inspection and testing (QC/IT) plan, and projecting the cost of the inspection effort with the supplier helps find problems earlier in the SQ process. Moreover, for meetings held before execution (specifically before any manufacturing, fabrication, or assembly takes place) results suggest that NCs will appear at the shop (upstream), which is a good way of avoiding higher costs associated with the correction of NCs on site (downstream). Moreover, the use and implementation of registered or certified quality management systems (QMS) does not affect the number of NCs found throughout the SQPM.

This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of a safe, reliable, cost-effective, high-quality, integral, and nimble supply chain cannot be overstated. Equally critical are the supply chain processes (e.g., strategic, procurement, quality assurance, technical, regulatory) that ensure these requirements are met. By extension, then, the supply chain professional is of paramount importance as a creator, driver, and full participant in these business-critical activities. ASQ's Certified Supplier Quality Professional (CSQP) certification provides valuable credentials to quality professionals in the growing field of supplier quality engineering. Due to globalization of the supply chain, supplier quality engineers are becoming more important in a broad spectrum of industries, including manufacturing and service industries. The purpose of this handbook is to assist individuals taking the Certified Supplier Quality Professional examination and provide a reference for the practitioner. Throughout this handbook, several examples are provided based upon the collective experience and knowledge of the authors and editor. However, these examples are not explicitly specified in regulations, leaving decisions to the company, as well as the burden of justifying practices using sound scientific principles that provide the context of the rationale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is part of a research project that was conducted by Research Team 308 (RT308) titled “Achieving Zero Rework Through Effective Supplier Quality Practices” funded by the Construction Industry Institute (CII). The primary focus of this thesis is to investigate how supplier ratings/supplier evaluation affect the final quality of products fabricated in a supplier’s facility, and to investigate how the inspection effort defined by Engineering-Procure-Construct (EPC) companies affect the end quality of products delivered to the construction site. The main objectives of the study are to: 1) explain how supplier evaluation ratings impact the definition of the inspection effort assigned to suppliers and the quality of products /materials supplied to the construction site; and 2) develop a tool to help companies collect and analyze data related to supplier evaluations and performance to support the supplier section process during procurement. The data obtained for the study focuses on the shop fabricated material pipe spools. A statistical analysis of how supplier evaluation ratings impact the definition of the inspection effort assigned to suppliers and how it impacts the quality of products/materials supplied to the construction site is presented to address objective 1. Results suggest that more inspection hours are budgeted when the supplier’s rating is low; more inspection hours are budgeted when suppliers sub-contract a portion of the work; more NCs are found when the supplier’s rating is low; and more budgeted inspection hours are used when the supplier is not evaluated prior to being awarded a purchase order (PO). The objective was achieved with the development of a tool to help companies collect and analyze data related to supplier evaluations and performance to support the supplier selection process during procurement. The Supply Chain Risk Profiler (SCRP) was developed and tested using mostly data collected from the PO instrument with the CII community, and the input of SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) within RT308. The tool used indicators and reports commonly used in the industry to develop the calculations, as well as nine criteria developed by RT308 and used to evaluate suppliers to estimate values for fabrication capability (Pfab) and inspection capability (Pinsp) for a particular supplier. The tool represents the start of a conversation within the CII community and beyond about the need to collect, keep, and use meaningful supplier evaluations and inspection data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2003.Building procurement systems are the organizational structures needed to design and construct building projects. The intention of this guide is to provide the construction professional with sufficient information about building procurement systems to ensure an awareness of the main methods that are currently available, and their principal advantages and disadvantages. Chapters 1 and 2 describe the concept and categorization of procurement systems and the evolution of the methods currently in use. The next four chapters deal with each of the various categories and the individual systems themselves. The needs of clients are examined in Chapter 7, in the context of project success. Chapter 8 investigates the way in which clients decide which procurement method to use. The author then identifies the principles governing the current choice and the various aids that are available to assist clients during this decision process. Finally, in Chapter 9, the author attemps to forecast the future of procurement systems and their use. This clear, well-researched and well-structured guide will be invaluable to students and practising construction professionals alike as they work with a range of building procurement systems to choose the system most suited to their needs.
