Study Notes
Quality Assessment in Material Procurement
- Assess the quality of received materials to ensure compliance with standards.
- Poor scheduling affects quantity (QN) and can lead to inefficiencies in work.
- Failure to meet expectations impacts both quality (QL) and overall customer satisfaction.
- Customer dissatisfaction indicates a significant quality (QL) concern.
- Preventable accidents reflect on quality control measures (QL).
- Misuse of sick leave can affect labor quantity and availability (QN).
Factors in Selecting Materials
- Selection Criteria: Choose materials based on several factors including:
- Cost: Analyze affordability versus quality.
- Environmental Considerations: Assess impact on soil, water, air, and energy consumption.
- Chemical Properties: Evaluate material behavior during use for safety and effectiveness.
- Physical Properties: Unique characteristics that determine suitability and functionality.
- Mechanical Attributes: Strength, durability, and performance capabilities.
- Supplier Reputation: The company's name can indicate quality and reliability of materials.
Importance of Material Testing
- Testing is essential for gathering data about materials.
- Helps in performing failure analysis and understanding material interactions for project success.
