Nonconformity Management

To deliver our fleet management and tracking solutions effectively, we collect specific data points.

A deviation refers to a situation or event that does not meet the expectations, specifications, or standards set for a particular task or situation. In the construction industry, a deviation can occur when a construction project does not proceed according to the construction plan or drawings, or when problems arise during construction that cause the building to not meet the specifications or standards set for it. Deviations can be small or large, and can affect the quality of the work, safety on the construction site, or the schedule for completing the construction project. Deviations can also affect the cost of the project, and can cause the project to go over budget or over schedule.

In the construction industry, it is important to identify and manage nonconformities in a proper manner to ensure that the construction project is carried out efficiently and to a high standard. It is also important to ensure that the nonconformities are resolved as quickly as possible to minimise the costs and delays that may arise as a result of them. The first step in managing nonconformities in the construction industry is to identify them. This can be done through inspections, checks and testing of materials and work carried out on the construction site.

Once a nonconformity has been identified, it should be documented and reported to the parties involved. This will usually include the client, the contractor and any subcontractors.

The next step is to analyze the deviation to understand its cause and develop a plan to resolve it. This may involve reviewing drawings and specifications to identify errors or inconsistencies, or examining the work process to determine where it went wrong. Once the cause of the deviation is identified, a plan to resolve it can be developed. This may involve changing the work process, repairing or replacing defective materials, or revising the construction plan or drawings to account for the deviation. The contractor or subcontractors may also be asked to provide a new schedule or cost estimate that takes into account the changes that need to be made. Once a plan is developed, it should be implemented as quickly as possible. This may involve stopping work on the construction site while the deviation is resolved, or taking other measures to minimize delays that may occur as a result of the deviation. The client or contractor should also follow up to ensure that the deviation has been resolved and that the work is being completed.

Deviations in JobBox are easy to use, and can be recorded and processed on your mobile phone. Deviations can be registered during the project, or in the company's internal control system, which is part of JobBox's IK-HMS tools. You have a full overview of all project deviations, and in addition an overview of all deviations belonging to a specific project. For example, you will be able to easily see which types of deviations are most frequent during each individual project. Furthermore, you can also get an overview of what is likely the causal relationship between the type of deviation, consequence and reason why the deviation occurred. This is useful data to use in the systematic work to reduce deviations and not least the unnecessary costs this entails.
