Overview

Project survey is the initial stage of the whole project. Well begun is half done. It has direct influence on every link of the project afterwards. Introduction

Purpose: To provide normalized instructions on the process, item and method of the project survey; to offer a uniform survey standard to ensure good preparation; and to make sure the project survey plays its due role Contents: Process, steps, methods, and filling in forms

Overview

Project survey: Ensures accurate production scheduling and timely delivery according to contract. Is the original basis for data configuration and debugging of production lines. Is the basis of project design. Is the original material for the completion report. Is part of normalized project management. Conducting no project survey, or wrong project survey, will result in: Delay in scheduling and production, and error in data configuration. Delay in delivery, with excesses, shortages and omissions. Project suspension and material supply delay, so that the installation personnel can do nothing but wait, and there is no installation solution confirmed by both parties, possibly causing changes of customer requirements, reworking, and refusal of acceptance. Lack of original materials in the completion report. Lack of links in normalized project management.
