Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Honcompliance Our investigation of this item identified one of the root causes of this condition to be that project personnel are being driven by schedule and production.
To alleviate this, letters were sent to all Baldwin Associates subcontractors emphasizing their responsibility in adhering to Quality Assurance Program requirements.
Additionally, an approved method has been developed and is being implemented to schedule and control subcontractor's work.
The method chosen will Incorporate the subcontractor schedules into a 90 day ralling schedule, and will include appropriate interfaces and quality input to ensure quality i
resources are available.
Uhere applicable, the sa fety-related subcontractors have supplied work schedules which indicate milestones and tests.
These schedules and the job schedule will be used to monitor and control the subcontractor's work.

Training was given to appropriate Quality, Construction, and Start-up personnel and was completed on November 16, 1982.
oong term plans, including periodic re-training, for subcontractor personnel are being developed by the Baldwin Associates Training Department.
Those plans will specifically include the aforementioned requirements.
