Five common sense commissioning fails to avoid
For centuries, a ship wasn’t deemed seaworthy unless it was “commissioned.” It had to pass a rigorous quality assurance process to be considered commissioned and ready for service. Today, we apply a commissioning process to the launch of industrial facilities, buildings, worksites and more. It’s a critical process that helps to ensure the asset is safe and running optimally.
