Case Study: Using First Article Inspections (FAIs) to Drive Continuous Improvement & Strengthen Quality Systems
- Establishing FAIs as the foundation for defining “what good looks like” by aligning engineering, construction, and quality teams on the correct standard before work scales across the project
- Using NCRs, observations, and field data to identify failure patterns and close gaps between standards and execution, ensuring lessons learned translate into stronger processes on future work
- Embedding a continuous improvement cycle across FAIs, inspections, and corrective actions to help teams progressively refine quality systems and prevent repeat issues
