27: Review/Verification Issue
Definition/Typical Issues
Was there a problem with the design/review verification process? Did the review/verification process fail to detect a problem in the design?
Examples
Example 1
- The design review process was supposed to verify that the design outputs were consistent with the design inputs. However, the design review failed to identify multiple discrepancies. As a result, inappropriate equipment was installed.
Example 2
- A hydraulic press design contained numerous design errors. The design review/verification process did not detect these errors. As a result, expensive modifications had to be implemented.
Typical Recommendations
- Ensure that the design review process is documented.
- Provide qualified individuals to perform design reviews.
- Develop a tracking system to help ensure that design problems and conflicts are resolved prior to startup.
- Ensure that design personnel present a summary of their design review process to a design review board.
- Develop an independent review process to be used during the design process to help ensure that the output requirements are consistent.
- Develop an independent review process during design to help ensure that calculations and analyses are correct and complete.
