Difference between correction, corrective and preventive action
ISO Definition of Correction: A correction is any action that is taken to eliminate a nonconformity.
Correction is like first-aid, its the instant action that is taken to correct the nonconformity or to reduce the impact nonconformity that has occurred.
ISO Definition of Corrective Action: Corrective actions are steps that are taken to remove the causes of an existing nonconformity or undesirable situation.
Corrective action will target the root cause so that the non-conformity or undesirable situation do not re-occur. Corrective Action can be considered as a ‘Problem Solving’.
ISO Definition of Preventive Action: Preventive actions are steps that are taken to remove the causes of potential nonconformities or potential situations that are undesirable.
Preventive action is like Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) or risk management. Where the non-conformity or undesirable situation have not actually occurred. We need to anticipate the risks or un-desirable situation that may occur and than think of actions that shall eliminate the cause of non-conformity.
Preventive Action have to be identified protectively, against the potential non-conformities, risks, defects or non-compliances.

Case Study:
You were on a long drive. Your motor bike breaks down in the middle of the journey.  Discover that the spark plug is full of carbon. Cause was that the bike was not serviced for last 6 month, and since the last service it has ran for almost 10000km. The situation worsens, when you know that you do not have an extra spark plug.
Correction: Cleaned the spark plug, and you put it back. And the bike starts.
Corrective Action: From next onward you have be keeping a extra spark plug.
Preventive Action: Before going for a long drive, you shall anticipate what all can go wrong or the undesirable situations. And shall identify the preventive action for all the undesirable situations or problems.
======================================================================
What is the purpose of corrective and preventive action?..
The purpose of the corrective and preventive action subsystem is to collect information, analyze information, identify and investigate product and quality problems, and take appropriate and effective corrective and/or preventive action to prevent their recurrence.
=====================================================================
An Inspection Test Plan (ITP) is a commonly required document that you'll need to submit with your construction quality control plan. Whether you're working on a private sector or government contract, clients today all want to see your inspection test plan. They want to know exactly what inspections and tests you'll be forming to control quality on their project.

In addition to telling your client what inspections and tests you'll do to control quality, your ITP is also a checklist for you to log the results of your inspections and tests during the project.
The purpose of an Inspection and Test Plan is to put together a single document that records all inspection and testing requirements relevant to a specific process. On a construction contract the process is likely to be a construction activity, element of work, trade work or providing a product section.
================================================================
A Non-conformity report or NCR, is a construction-related document that addresses specification deviation or work that fails to meet quality standards.
 The report is used to as part of quality control processes by detailing the problem, how it occurred, and how to prevent it from happening again. An NCR also is used in determining a resolution with a customer and documenting any corrective changes made.
Non-Conformance Report Items
A non-conformance report must include at a minimum the following information:
What is the main reason for the NCR or what went wrong
Why the work doesn't meet specs
What can be done to prevent the problem from happening again
Explanation of corrective action taken/to be taken
Key players involved in the NCR and specs affected under the NCR
When to Issue a Non-Conformance Report
There are many common scenarios in the construction industry that require the issuance of an NCR:
Work that was not built as indicated in the approved Issued for Construction drawings
Work that fails to meet specified tolerances as established in the project specifications
Work that is being performed using non-approved methods or standards
Failure to follow the approved testing and inspection plan
Testing results demonstrate that the product does not meet established and approved standards
Material used that has not been approved as a substitute (equal or similar)
Design is not accurate and does not represent actual field conditions
Approved procedure was not followed, and quality defects have been identified by the project team
Who Can Issue an NCR?
A non-conformance report can be issued by any of the project team members. The report must present a non-debatable fact and include clear and sufficient backup information that supports the claim. The NCR follows agreed-upon conditions for tracking and closing the report after appropriate corrections are made. Non-conformance reports often are used as training tools for team leaders to train other employees to help prevent similar situations from happening again.

==================================================================
What is quality control plan ?.
The Control Plan is a document that describes the actions (measurements, inspections, quality checks or monitoring of process parameters) required at each phase of a process to assure the process outputs will conform to pre-determined requirements.

What is Quality assurance / quality control plan?.
The QA/QC plan is an internal document to organize, plan, and implement QA/QC activities. Once developed, it can be referenced and used in subsequent inventory preparation, or modified as appropriate (i.e. when changes in processes occur or on advice of independent reviewers).
The seven QC tools are:
  • Cause-and-effect diagram (also known as the "fishbone" or Ishikawa diagram)
  • Check sheet.
  • Control chart.
  • Histogram.
  • Pareto chart.
  • Scatter diagram.
  • Stratification (alternately, flow chart or run chart)


This includes Six Sigma tools like control charts, SIPOC and others.
  • 5 Whys.
  • 5S.
  • Affinity Diagram/KJ Analysis.
  • Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
  • Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
  • Brainstorming.
  • Calculators.
  • Capability Indices/Process Capability.


The QA/QC Engineer shall maintain a register of all Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) including Checklists.
The QA/QC Engineer shall maintain a complete master set of approved Inspection and Test Plan
The inspection process shall have the inspection criteria for every Inspection and Test Plan item. Here are the following:
Surveillance ( S ) = random attendance at site, no signature  required on the Inspection Request ( IR ) or its accompanying documentation.
Execution ( E ) = attendance at the site is a must, the signature is always on Inspection Request and Checklist.
Witness (W)  = attendance at the site is expected, the signature is required on check sheet of    Inspection Request ( IR ) and Checklist, but if the signatory is not present to sign at the time, follow on work may proceed and the document(s)  to be singed later.
Hold Point (H) = attendance at the site is mandatory and signature is required on the check sheet of Inspection Request at the time of  the inspection to release the following work.
Review ( R ) = documents to be reviewed, no signature required on the Inspection Request or its accompanying documentation.
Records (RE) = documentation to be recorded, no signature required on the Inspection Request or its accompanying documentation.
Test ( T ) = attendance is required,  signature required on check sheet of Inspection request and checklist.
Here is the sample format of the Inspection and Test Plan ( ITP )
ITP Rev 0_Page_1
ITP Rev 0_Page_2Here is the format of Checklist.
checklist791x1024Three Major Approvals that a Quality Engineer Must Check Before Site Inspection 

In a newly opened project, before your first inspection and site surveillance, you must have read the Specifications, Project Quality Plan (PQP), Drawing, and other related documents and company documents as well.
Ask the copy of Project Quality Plan from your Quality Manager. He must be the one who will do that and will give that to you once approved.
Request from your Document Controller for the other documents such as: Drawings, Specification and Company Documents. You might want to read also the Bill of Quantities (BOQ), if you are able to ask from the Quantity Surveyors Department so it’s your further reference anyway.
Now after making all initial preparation for the job, prepare yourself for site works and be careful for all the activities on site as you take care of your position. Your position as Quality Engineer has a vast function in a project and you are even called as internal consultants of your company so it seems you are a “hero”.
Here are the documents that you should check and make sure it is approved before making inspection at the first time.
Drawings
Ensure that the drawing you bring with you is approved and stamped “Issued for thequalityengineersdrawing.pngConstruction” as this is the mark that the document is controlled.
Ask the Document Controller for the log sheet of drawings to verify the latest revisions. If not latest revision you can request the DC to stamp the drawing with the mark of “Superseded” so everything should be in accordance with the system procedure in order to avoid confusion and misuse.
Method Statement or Methodology of the Work
Before a certain work proceeds there should be approved Method Statement. Make sure to submit a Method Statement and get approval from the Consultants.
You must have your log sheet file with you and available in your office in order for you to monitor the latest revision of the MS.

If you are new in the field ask your Quality Manager to provide Method Statement. The MS by the way is commonly stated in the contract, so that is why I’ve mentioned before that read the contract documents of the project, you have a lot to gather  information about the project.
In most Consultants that I worked with they require Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) and Checklist along with the Method Statement. So make sure that it is being submitted along with the MS.
Material Approval
See to it that the materials for the objected inspection is approved. Always have a copy of the log sheet of Material Submittal that’s the way how to monitor the latest revision and get log sheet from Document Controller on regular basis.
Once the above approvals is certain you can now come with the Consultants to the area of inspection or if the construction team requires you to check with them the area prior to inspection with the Consultants. You are confident enough to go on with anyone because you knew that the materials and documents for the situated area of inspection are all approved.

What is 8 D quality ?
The eight disciplines (8D) model is a problem solving approach typically employed by quality engineers or other professionals. Its purpose is to identify, correct, and eliminate recurring problems, and it is useful in product and process improvement. The 8D Report was first used in the automotive industry.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 1803 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 59, Building construction, Subcommittee SC 4, Dimensional tolerances and measurement.
It cancels and replaces ISO 1803-1:1985, ISO 1803-2:1986 and ISO 4464:1980.
In this edition the expression of dimensional accuracy is built up round the concept of target size. A list of basic terms, their definitions, and a list of terms relating to dimensional variability, together with their definitions, is included.
Annexes A and B of this International Standard are for information only.

1   Scope

This International Standard describes the basic principles for the expression of dimensional deviation in building, and defines the basic terms and definitions relating to the evaluation, specification and verification of accuracy.
It is applicable to the manufacture of building components (standard or purpose made), the setting out process, erection and assembly, and the building as a whole.
Annex A gives equivalent terms in French and German. Annex B lists International Standards related to dimensions and dimensional accuracy in building.
Only informative sections of standards are publicly available. To view the full content, you will need to purchase the standard by clicking on the "Buy" button.

3   Basic terms and definitions

The terms and definitions given below constitute a basic vocabulary of terms used in the description and calculation of sizes, in specifications and in compliance measurements to achieve conformity with specifications in building.
3.1
dimension
Extent in a given direction or along a given line, or a given angle.
Note 1 to entry: Extent in this context is unquantified.
3.2
size
Magnitude of a dimension quantified in terms of a defined unit.
3.3
target size
A reference size used in design and in practice in order to indicate the size desired and to which the deviations, which would ideally be zero, are to be related.
Note 1 to entry: The term "work size" is a target size used in production to achieve the target specified size on the project drawing, and takes into account systematic deviations which can arise due to the production processes used and/or inherent deviations of the materials used.
Note 2 to entry: If it is not necessary to specify a target size; any size can be taken as a reference size to which to relate the deviations.
Note 3 to entry: In some countries and fields (e.g. mechanical industry), the term "nominal size" is used as reference size. In building, the term "nominal size" should only be used as a designation of the approximate magnitude of a dimension.
3.4
target angle
A reference angle used in design and in practice in order to indicate the angle desired and to which the deviations, which would ideally be zero, are to be related.
3.5
actual size
Achieved size, the value of which is obtainable by measurement.
Note 1 to entry: If necessary, the known corrections such as those for physical circumstances should be incorporated in the measurement.
3.6
upper limit of size
Maximum permitted actual size.
3.7
lower limit of size
Minimum permitted actual size.
3.8
deviation
Difference between an actual size and the corresponding target size.
Note 1 to entry: In some cases there is a need to distinguish deviations caused by physical circumstances, such as temperature, shrinkage, creep or load (inherent deviations), and those due to variability in manufacturing, setting out or erection (induced deviations).
3.9
upper permitted deviation
Difference between the upper limit of size and the corresponding target size.1)
3.10
lower permitted deviation
Difference between the lower limit of size and the corresponding target size.1)
3.11
tolerance
Difference between the upper limit of size and the lower limit of size.
Note 1 to entry: Tolerance is an absolute value without sign.
Note 2 to entry: In building construction, tolerance is commonly expressed by "± permitted deviation" so that the value of the tolerance is implicit (see figure 3).
Note 3 to entry: An example of the relationship between the key basic terms is given in figure 3.

4   Terms and definitions relating to dimensional variability

The following terms are normally used to express the relationship between actual and target sizes. For most of them, methods of measurement are described and illustrated in ISO 7976-1.
NOTE — Profile or shape deviations can be expressed as the difference between the actual three-dimensional coordinates and the target three-dimensional coordinates.
4.1
length deviation
Difference between an actual length and the corresponding target length.
4.2
angular deviation
Difference between an actual angle and the corresponding target angle.
Note 1 to entry: Deviations can be expressed in gons, degrees, or as perpendicular offsets over a given length.
Note 2 to entry: A special case of angular deviation is the deviation of a direction, where a straight line is given and where its direction is the angle between this actual line and a given reference line; e g the meridian, the X- or N-axis, the horizontal or the vertical (plumb line).
4.3
profile deviation of a line
Plot of the differences between the actual positions of a set of specified points on a line and those on the corresponding target line.
4.3.1
straightness deviation of a line
Plot of the differences between the actual positions of a set of specified points on a line and those on a straight line between two given points on that line.
4.4
shape deviation of a surface
Plot of the differences between the actual positions of a set of specified points on a surface and those on the corresponding target surface.
4.4.1
flatness deviation of a surface
Plot of the differences between the actual positions of a set of specified points on a surface and those on the corresponding flat surface.
Note 1 to entry: Flatness deviation is usually determined along straight lines of specified lengths, placed in specified positions or at random.
4.4.2
skewness
Difference between the actual position of a corner point or a point on an edge of a surface and its corresponding target position on the plane through three other corner points or points on the edge of that surface.
4.5
position deviation of a point
Difference between the actual position of a point and the corresponding target position in relation to a specified datum.
Note 1 to entry: Position deviations are generally measured separately in both the horizontal plane and the vertical plane.
4.6
position deviation of a line
Difference in the actual position of specified points on a line and the corresponding target position points in relation to a specified datum.
4.7
verticality deviation
Horizontal difference between a specified point on a line or plane intended to be vertical and the corresponding target point on a vertical reference line or plane. (See also Note 1 in 4.2.)
4.8
horizontality deviation
Vertical difference between a specified point on a line or plane intended to be horizontal and the corresponding target point on a horizontal reference line or plane. (See also Note 1 in 4.2.)
4.9
joint alignment deviation
Difference in relative level or position at the joint of adjacent components intended to be coincident.
4.10
shape deviation
Difference between the actual shape of a body and the corresponding target shape.
Note 1 to entry: The actual shape of the body should lie between two envelopes representing the smallest and largest permitted bodies (box principle).
