AMS uses a internationally recognised review process for document quality control. This process is based on these principles:

Managing complex projects involves breaking them into phases to make them manageable. A phase then becomes a project in itself.

A standard definition of a project is a process that has a defined beginning and end, with objectives defined at the beginning and outcomes achieved at the end. A phase also has objectives at the beginning and objectives at the end.

The objectives current at the beginning of a phase are inherited from the outcomes of the previous phase, while the outcomes carry forward to become the objectives of the subsequent phase. A phase review process is undertaken at the end of each phase to ensure that the phase objectives have been met.

Where an objective has not been satisfied, it is necessary to determine if this failure has a detrimental effect on the previous phase. If necessary, this back stepping process should be continued until the issue has either been resolved or recognised as not critical.

The Document Review service produces a report comparing the requirements of the brief with the outcomes of the documents currently being reviewed. This report is driven primarily by the contents of the brief.

The report will be an item by item format detailing the brief item, the document being reviewed and the degree of compliance with the brief.

Any items that are not being met by the documents under review are highlighted, together with the details of the brief item and comments on the impact on the project of non compliance.

Comments may be added, together with decisions relating to the resolution of the item and if necessary an update to the brief item, which will be carried forward to subsequent review phases.

As documents are developed, review points that are appropriate for the current project need to be defined.

When a review point is reached you provide a hard copy of your documents, together with a copy of the current version of the brief.

You may elect to engage AMS to structure your current project brief for use in the review process.

The information in the documents being reviewed is then compared with the brief requirements. Each item in the brief is cross referenced to the means of compliance in the project documents at the current review point. As the project progresses in detail, the brief may also be updated to reflect the increased level of detail in the documents.

The review that is conducted between phases is known as the phase review process. The nature of the process is influenced by the current phase being completed, and also depends upon whether the current phase must be completed prior to moving on to the next, or whether there is an overlap between the phases.

The phase review process compares your deliverables, e.g. drawings and specifications, with project requirements as defined in the project brief. To achieve the outcome from the review process you need to provide:

an itemised project brief

the documents to be reviewed

To assist, you may elect to use the service offered by AMS to structure your current project brief for use in the review process.
