Third-party and source inspection
Independent inspection at the supplier’s works for inspection agencies, EPC contractors and end users: ITP, FAT, PMI, forgings and shipment release.
Your ITP, your report format
Agencies and buyers send the purchase order, the ITP and the specification. I attend the hold and witness points at the vendor, check the documents against the parts, and report in the format the client uses.
Problems are raised as NCRs and followed through with the vendor until the equipment is released.
