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
