Quality delivery to Mega Projects is a growing vital concern to all owners, engineers and program managers. As the scale of projects increases, complexity of delivery increases leading to quality control problems. There are many examples out there which are well documented in technical papers as well as public press! This issue certainly leads to degrading public confidence in large complex projects. Rework needed to rectify defects leads to further increase in costs and time consuming litigations. In certain safety critical systems such as High Speed Rail Line, Nuclear Power Plants, Air-craft or Space vehicle construction etc. defect rate must be reduced to zero to avoid component failures which may lead to total system failure causing a lower performance, shutdown or even an accident.
