Joint Quality Plans for Shared Deliverables
If one partner cannot show the checks, both partners carry the risk.
Agree the plan
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Hold points | Where work pauses for verification |
| Inspection method | Measurement, sampling and record |
| Evidence | Photos, test sheets and certificates |
| Responsibilities | Who inspects and who signs off |
| Non-conformance | How defects are raised and closed |
Keep records consistent
- One numbering scheme across both partners.
- One place to file the evidence.
- Shared definitions of what counts as a defect.
Quality records protect both partners when something goes wrong later.
