Everything You Need to Know Quality Assurance–And Why We Take It So Seriously
Projects going over budget. Projects taking longer than planned. The wrong equipment. Poorly trained employees. Risky practices at the job site. Insufficient sandblasting that’s not up to industry standard. Shoddy coatings and industrial painting.
These are the nightmares that come to life when industrial painters do not have top-notch quality assurance practices in place. That’s not how the industrial painters at Eagle Eye Services do it. We follow strict quality assurance practices our team has developed over years in the field and serving industrial customers. Here’s everything you need to know about what quality assurance is, what steps we take during the quality assurance process, and what the benefits are.
What Quality Assurance Is
At Eagle Eye Services, we employ what’s called a quality system: the overlapping processes of quality assurance and quality control. Quality assurance includes steps our company uses every time we take on a project; quality control is the checks-and-balances system we use to make sure our projects are completed to a high standard.
The Four Steps of Quality Assurance
- We Prepare. Planning is the first step in our quality assurance process. From our estimate to site inspection to project scope and budget, we determine how our team can deliver the best industrial coating and painting to our clients.
- We Examine. We perform tests on our client’s pipelines and industrial equipment, which inform what services we need to use. As we sandblast, coat, and paint, we continue to test.
- We Audit. It’s critical for our team to review and revise our processes. Before, during, and after a project, we are working to improve how we do things.
- We Execute. Once we’ve identified deliverables and the best ways to meet them, we implement those processes and leverage them during each project phase.
Top Five Benefits of Quality Assurance
- Efficiency. Quality assurance concentrates on necessary steps and eliminates anything superfluous. This focus allows our team to move efficiently.
- Cost Savings. It’s our goal to reduce additional expenses for our clients. Our quality assurance process keeps the scope of our services steadfast during a project.
- Regulatory Standards. An often overlooked part of quality assurance, our practices incorporate municipal, county, state, and federal regulatory standards, which maintains the integrity of our final product.
- Safety. The best quality assurance standards include time-tested safety practices on the job site. We always want to keep our employees and contractors safe and remove the risk of on-site accidents.
- Customer Satisfaction. Quality assurance allows us to communicate what our customers can expect from our industrial coating and industrial painting services and how we’ll meet those expectations.
Why Our Industrial Painters Take Quality Assurance Seriously
The risks of not having a quality assurance practice in place are very real. It can make projects more costly for customers. It can delay projects for weeks, sometimes months. More than affecting the project, it can put employees and the end product at risk. That’s why Eagle Eye Services takes quality assurance seriously with established practices we’ve used for years.
