Abstract
Key Findings
Based on prior published literature, RT-320 defined design deliverable quality in terms of their completeness, correctness, and timeliness.
RT-320 surveyed industry to identify the most problematic deliverables in terms of quality (N=67). The RT found similarities in the relative frequency of design quality problems encountered by owners (X-axis value) and contractors (Y-axis value).
| No. | Deliverable |
| 1 | FEED Validation Deliverables |
| 2 | Level 3 Baseline Schedule |
| 3 | Constructability Inputs |
| 4 | P&IDs |
| 5 | Equipment Specifications & Data Sheets |
| 6 | Maintainability Inputs |
| 7 | Vendor Data |
| 8 | 3D Model & Clash Detection |
| 9 | Piping Routing & Isometrics |
| 10 | Nozzles, Ladders, & Platforms for Towers/Vessels/Tanks |
| 11 | Misc. Pipe Support Drawings |
From the scatter plot shown in Key Finding #2, RT-320 concluded that deliverables are “problematic” if quality problem frequency is between “Sometimes (3.0)” and “Too Often (5.0).”
RT-320 identified the recommended timing for application of the deliverable completeness checklist.
