Sub-contractor management

John Fraser Senior Organizational and Process Consultant| Saudi Aramco Cheadle, Cheshire, United Kingdom

I am running a project at the moment that is looking at the relationship and management between contractors and sub contractors in a manufacturing environment.

For example, a contractor welding pipework and then having it non destructive tested (ndt) by a sub-contractor. How is it best to ensure the efficacy of the process and ensure no corners are cut?

Any examples and/ or associated forms or documents in. Relation to same would be much appreciated.

...

It is one of the more difficult situations a project manager has to live, at least in my personal experience. The point is: who is managing the whole project?. Just in case there is one project manager for all the project then she/he is accountable for coordinating the actions in the whole project no matter who make the activities. With that said, the second point is: are project managers assigned in the contractor side? That´s will help on coordination. If not, you need to have a point of contact from each subcontrator side. This type of things will help you to manage the whole project, beyond all the deliverables you created because at the end deliverables or agreements are just papers when things go into action.

Thank you Sergio for your points, these are well considered.
