ShareMundo and non-conformance management

A successful documentation management, in complex, high-visibility industrial projects hinges on the implementation of effective processes and tools. These ensure consistency, traceability and rapid access to information, which are essential for facilitating communication between teams, minimizing errors and enabling the prompt delivery of accurate decisions. The management of non-conformities, in particular, requires a well-defined and meticulous approach to documentation.

Non-conformance management in complex projects

definition and specific features

The customer

Westinghouse is a leading supplier of nuclear technologies and products. Over the years, the company has become a recognized benchmark in the energy market.

The company, founded in 1886 in the United States, has a strong international presence, as evidenced by the fact that approximately 50% of the world’s active nuclear power plants are based on Westinghouse technology.

While the company is most widely recognized for its contributions to the global nuclear equipment and services industry, its scope of operations also extends to the development of new power plants (AP1000) and the administration of high-stakes nuclear projects.

The Project

In construction and manufacturing projects, a large number of non-conformance reports must be processed. Without an effective management process and the right tools, managing them can quickly become a tedious and time-consuming activity. In addition, regular progress reports are necessary for the proper functioning and communication between project stakeholders. All of this can contribute to weighing heavily in the balance of tasks inherent to the project manager and his team.

The challenge

Flawless precision and rigour are necessary for the smooth running of large-scale projects, particularly in the nuclear field. Every task, even those considered of lesser added value in other types of project, must be codified and rigorously listed. If the processes and tools in place are not adapted, total confusion can easily set in and penalize project progress.

The sharemundo solution

A complete solution of
Project non-conformance management

sharemundo carried out in-depth work in collaboration with Westinghouse in order to be able to target the client’s precise needs and to carry out an audit of the existing situation:

  • Tools
  • Methods
  • Processes in place
  • Applicability to current project
  • Adoption of best practices by the teams concerned
  • Optimize and centralize actions

We have updated our processes for managing non-conformities, in order to optimize and facilitate their management. The creation of associated documentation and its sharing with teams were also part of sharemundo’s training and support roles. Concrete solutions included:

  • Development of a non-conformity management module in M365
  • The creation of a dedicated library shared with stakeholders
  • Translating processes into Power Automate workflows
  • Structuring and management of associated metadata.

Conclusion

Quality first!

The management of non-conformities is essential within the project to achieve the required level of quality, ensure the safety and compliance of the products and services provided. By identifying gaps and providing long-term solutions, the impact on deadlines and costs is limited.
