24: Design Output Unclear or Inconsistent

 Node Design Output Unclear or Inconsistent

Definition/Typical Issues

Were there differences among output documents? Did the drawings and other design specifications contain inconsistent requirements?

Examples

Example 1

  • The procurement specifications for electrical cable were inconsistent with the requirements on the design drawing. As a result, the installation of the wiring was delayed when the problem was identified.

Example 2

  • The acceptance test requirements for a fire protection pump were inconsistent with the design requirements. As a result, the fire protection pump was placed into operation even though it did not meet its design specifications.

Typical Recommendations

  • Develop a database of design requirements to assist in identification of inconsistent requirements.
  • Develop an independent review process to be used during the design process to help ensure that the output requirements are consistent.
