Quality Management in Utility-Scale Solar Construction
Welcome • 5 assignments
Orientation Materials
Module 1 • 6 assignments
Quality Management Principles
We’ll then look at some wider quality management principles – gaining a general understanding of concepts like customer focus, continual improvement, process based planning and using data to make good decisions.
And finally, we’ll wrap up this section by diving into Quality Assurance and Quality Control – or QA/QC. These are two concepts that are often used in the same breath, and many people don’t actually understand the core differences between these two components of a quality management system – so I think it’s worthwhile spending some time discussing the differences and interactions between QA and QC.
Module 2 • 7 assignments
Ensuring Quality in Utility Scale Solar Construction
We’ll then spend some time talking about drawings, and making sure that we have a thorough understanding of why well detailed engineering drawings, solid revision control and good RFI processes are so critical for a high quality project.
We’ll touch base on quality documentation, and best practices for designing and managing this paperwork.
And then we’ll finish up by going through lessons learned procedures and how to ensure ongoing improvement is a part of your teams’ culture.
