New Build – The Tracking Phase

From keel-laying onwards, threre are physical inspections …

As the work progresses your job as the OR is to be the client’s eyes and ears.  Your observations need to be noted, reported and any issues tracked

Of course, most shipyards will also keep their own records – but that assumes diligence and objectivity. At isn’t that your role … to check and report ?

Here the HUB’s Issue Tracker is your best friend.

This simple yet powerful shared list can record the issues, their location, the department, the date, and the reference to the relevant portion of the Sppecification.

Attachments help define the issue, using photographs, support spreadsheets, reports and snippets from CAD files

Issues may arise from informal walk-around inspections, from formal meetings, or from acceptance tests.

• clarifications and decisions
• actions from meetings
• defects and risks

The list will grow quickly, so grasping this nettle early is very important.  Let the Hub Issue Tracker organise the list, and nothing will get missed …
