documented. Only when all quality checks are approved is the structure released for painting,
transport, or installation. Final Release Certificates are issued by the QA/QC team.
• In Construction/Installation Projects, milestone inspections (e.g., foundation, reinforcement,
formwork, final assembly) are conducted, and photographic records are attached to inspection
reports. Each stage is approved before proceeding, and the final inspection ensures that the
installation complies with client and regulatory specifications before commissioning.
• In Consultancy Services, such as training or manpower supply, the release process includes
verifying personnel qualifications, deployment records, and client feedback forms. Approval is
based on meeting client expectations and contractual deliverables.
• For Calibration Services, instruments are calibrated using traceable standards, and certificates
indicating measurement accuracy are issued. The QA/QC team confirms that all readings fall
within acceptable tolerance levels before instruments are returned to service.
Each process involves designated responsible personnel, including Project Managers, Site Engineers,
QA/QC Officers, and Department Heads, who ensure that products and services are not released until
all planned arrangements have been satisfactorily completed.
Control measures include internal audits, monitoring of KPIs, final walkthroughs, client sign-offs, and
periodic training to minimize risks such as delays, rework, nonconformity, or client dissatisfaction.
All evidence related to inspection and approval, such as QA/QC release forms, delivery notes, and
client acceptance certificates, is maintained as part of the Quality Records Management System.
These records are periodically reviewed to ensure continual improvement in product and service
delivery.
In conclusion, Felton Energy Services is committed to releasing only those products and services that
have met all specified quality requirements, ensuring client satisfaction and compliance with

9. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
9.1 Monitoring, Measurement, Analysis, Evaluation KPIs (e.g., job completion time, NCR frequency)
are monitored. Reports are discussed monthly.
At Felton Energy Services, the effectiveness of our Quality Management System (QMS) is ensured
through consistent monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation of key performance indicators
(KPIs), as required by ISO 9001:2015 Clause 9.1. These activities are aligned with our core service areas:
Procurement and Supply Services, Maintenance and Engineering (Civil, Construction, Electrical, and
Mechanical), Consultancy Services (Manpower Supply and Training), Marine Services, Welding and
Fabrication, Construction/Installation, Quality Control and Inspection, Insulation, and Calibration.
For each process across our service spectrum, we define measurable KPIs that reflect efficiency,
compliance, and customer satisfaction. Examples include:
• Procurement and Supply Services: We monitor the Procurement Lead Time (time from
requisition to delivery) and Vendor NCR Frequency. If, for example, NCRs are raised more than
twice in a month due to late deliveries, the procurement team is required to re-evaluate the
supplier’s performance and escalate it to management for corrective actions.
• Maintenance and Engineering Services: KPIs such as Job Completion Time vs Plan and
Downtime Reduction are tracked. For instance, if electrical maintenance work scheduled for
five days extends to seven, a root cause analysis is conducted to identify delay factors (e.g.,
unavailability of parts or manpower) and appropriate mitigation strategies are implemented.
• Consultancy Services: We monitor Client Satisfaction Scores from post-training surveys and On-
time Deployment of Manpower. A score below 85% triggers a review of training content or
delivery methods, while deployment delays are logged and addressed with improved workforce
planning.
• Marine and Construction Services: Vessel Availability, On-site Safety Compliance, and Daily
Productivity Rates are reviewed. Safety incidents or productivity shortfalls are evaluated
through toolbox meetings and documented in monthly HSE performance reports.
• Quality Control, Inspection and Testing: NCR Frequency, Rework Rates, and First-Pass Yield are
core metrics. For instance, if the first-pass yield of weld inspections drops below 95%, training
and procedure reviews are mandated to address gaps in welding techniques or inspection
methods.
• Calibration and Insulation Services: Calibration Accuracy Rate and On-time Service Delivery are
key indicators. Equipment drift or calibration delays are flagged for investigation and
appropriate process adjustments are made.
All performance data is compiled into monthly reports, which are reviewed by departmental heads
during the Monthly Quality Review Meeting. These reviews allow for trend analysis, identification of
non-conformities, and evaluation of the effectiveness of corrective/preventive actions.
Furthermore, outcomes of these reviews are documented, and action plans are tracked to closure,
ensuring continual improvement. By systematically applying monitoring and analysis to all operational
processes, Felton Energy Services demonstrates its commitment to excellence, customer satisfaction,
and compliance with ISO 9001:2015.
9.2 Internal Audit Planned audits ensure QMS effectiveness. Example: Quarterly audits of marine
service documentation.
9.3 Management Review Top management conducts bi-annual QMS reviews to evaluate performance,
risks, and improvement areas.
