Regulations
Business Context
Verification, checking, independent review, calculations, audits, and technical approvals protect design integrity. Applying the same assurance intensity to every engineering deliverable can consume specialist resources and slow information release without proportional risk reduction.
Green Field Industrial Projects TRIZ Resolution
Apply assurance according to technical consequence, novelty, complexity, and uncertainty. Automate routine verification where practical and concentrate independent specialist attention on high-risk decisions and interfaces.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 3 – Local Quality applies assurance intensity according to technical risk.
Principle 23 – Feedback uses verification results to correct engineering efficiently.
Principle 25 – Self-Service automates repeatable checks and validation functions where appropriate.
Expected Outcome
Higher engineering productivity
Preserved technical integrity
Better specialist-resource utilization
Faster design release
Decision Indicators
Early indicators include:
Every deliverable follows identical checking requirements.
Senior specialists spend substantial time reviewing routine work.
Critical designs receive no more attention than standard designs.
Approval backlogs delay information release.
Assurance processes detect few material issues despite high effort.
Monitoring these indicators helps concentrate technical assurance where it produces the greatest reduction in engineering and project risk.
