The seventh PPP Quality Hub was plenty of collaboration and information gathering.
Representatives from PPP, the client, Key Delivery Partners and the wider supply chain came together to share learning and knowledge across the quality spectrum.
The theme for the morning was Counterfeit Fraudulent and Suspect Items (CFSI) and how it underpins Nuclear Safety.
The afternoon slot focussed on PPP’s right first-time philosophy, inspection data and improvements to Quality Control ‘Special Processes’.
PPP Head of Quality, Dave Parkinson, said: “Once again our Quality Hub was well attended by our supply chain partners, PPP ADT and PDD representatives and project services functions.
“The themes both provided opportunities to reduce time and cost and address some frustrations.”
Quality Hub is informative event
Tom Dillon, Client Quality Lead, added: “The collaboration between the wider PPP project, ADT and supply chain is what makes this hub special.
“It allows us to share learning and knowledge and gives suppliers the chance to ask questions and gain a better understanding.”
John Griffin, SWMRF Project Director, said it was a really useful and informative event.
He said: “I would recommend any project director or SLT member to come along once a quarter and find out the key issues that are facing the programme, and the wider quality sector.
“It is really useful to keep abreast of what is happening, and bring that knowledge back to your project, so you can put things in place early. This ensures that we have quality products from day one and we are right, first time.”
Stephen Parks, Quality Manager for the Nuclear Division of Hyde Group Ltd, has been at all seven of the Supply Chain Quality Hub events.
He added: “I think it is making a real difference. It gives us an awareness of what our clients are looking for.”
