Traceability

Traceability is the ability to verify the history, location, or application of an item by means of documented recorded identification. Complete traceability is achieved when the pertinent characteristics/information relating to material procurement, manufacture, fabrication operations, inspection of assembly and installation of a part on a specific item or assembly, as verified by Quality Control, is recorded and maintained on applicable documents and records.
The main stages of traceability are outlined below: Traceability Database Setup Implementation & Training Procurement & Delivery of Materials Pre-Processing Construction/installation Inspection & Reporting Traceability follows the stages of construction/installation throughout the complete process to ensure all material, welds and related information is captured and recorded. Full traceability for all material, welding, NDE, surface treatment, bolting and insulation is a requirement for most of the Oil and Gas Projects. QMTS has dedicated Traceability Team who can perform the below following on any client project Produce Stock numbers for raw materials (if applicable) Train relevant inspectors and project personnel in the functionality of system (if applicable) Configure and on-going maintenance of systems to project requirements, Setup Systems with relevant information Generate required reports on a daily basis for Inspectors, and Client sign-off Ensure traceability procedures are complied with during fabrication; provide reports to relevant parties on a weekly basis on traceability. Operate and Administer traceability systems for duration of construction/installation. Generate other reporting information required to assist in project controls Raise NDE Requests and final Reports for signoff by relevant parties.
