Dear PMI colleagues.

Kindly could you help me with the following question if it is possible.

I was informed recently to review around 200 reports for previous engineering works, and requested to know the number of correct and wrong reports as audit. And then calculate the percentage of the error and see if the error is acceptable or not.

The number of correct reports was about 190. Error calculation as pe online source (10/190)*100= 5%, but didn't find any reference for the error limits/ acceptance. Do you think what I did is a correct quality control method.

Thanks,

Riad

Riad -

Without establishing an expected or target for error rate all you have is Work Performance Data. 5% might be an acceptable rate but without confirming that up front with the appropriate stakeholders, that is just a subjective assessment. Hopefully you also had an operational definition for what constituted a correct report vs a defective...

There should probably have been control limits put in place first. It's a bit late after the fact. The results show what they show.

Riad you also need to see the impact of 5% error. How sever and in according to that you build up your control limits.

Omg you work in Mussafah, I do not miss it at all.. I worked there for months and months.
