Case Study: a plant owner-operator in Europe achieves confidence in power plant component quality with LRQA's independent audit

Plant Owner-operator, Europe reports major deviations within 24-36 hours with LRQA

A European plant owner-operator faced a significant challenge in assuring the technical quality control process of its main Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractor in Asia, which was supplying key components for a new fossil-fired power plant. To mitigate the risks to the project's success, they engaged LRQA for an independent audit and to leverage their Smart Inspection vendor risk rating and assessment scheme.

LRQA implemented a large-scale audit led by their team in Japan, which encompassed quality, safety, compliance, and delivery control for the main contractor and its global sub-suppliers. This solution provided stakeholder confidence by enabling both the buyer and seller to understand critical supply chain elements. The powerful result was that major deviations were reported within 24 to 36 hours, keeping the project on track.
