The Primary Output of an Inspection: The Right Action
Inspection and consulting services are often viewed as “control”; however, the true output of a good inspection is not control, but action. Especially prior to PSC/Flag or classification interactions, the early identification and proper prioritization of deficiencies are of critical importance. Otherwise, the work shifts into a panic mode of “rushing to fix things” on-site; this increases both schedule and cost risks.
DEGEM’s inspection approach is scoped in compliance with status and classification rules. The goal is to identify potential non-conformities early, produce a prioritized list of corrective actions, and provide clear reporting that facilitates decision-making.
