RACI Method of Quality control

This article (and a previous article about checklist method) are part of the material presented on a webinar on quality control in construction on 26 Sep 2020 with L1 Supply.

The RACI method comprises of following steps

1. VENDOR APPROVAL, SOURCE APPROVAL, BRAND APPROVAL
2. PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION/ SHOP DRAWINGS
3. QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
4. LINEAR RESPONSIBILITY CHART
5. METHOD STATEMENT

The term RACI refers to creating an organizational structure for quality by assigning different people redundantly as RESPONSIBLE – ACCOUNTABLE – CONSULTED – INFORMED, for each item of work. The advantage of RACI method, is that it results only in a one-time documentation of different items of work, unlike the checklist method which involves too much documentation.
