project management system

United Geophysical has a very comprehensive project management system which forms the basis of our quality management system.

All key departments such as HSE, Recording, Surveying, Drilling, Engineering, Seismology, Transport, ALG, Community Affairs and Security have their own project management system documentation.

Each of these key departments has its own set of operating standards set down in its company operating standards manual. The project management system manual is a detailed and comprehensive collection of work procedures which are compliant with the operating standards manual, also included is an organogram of the department and job descriptions for all departmental staff.

A quality loop of continuous improvement is formed through staff training, scheduled auditing, monthly quality meetings and managed corrective action.

During the monthly quality meeting, corrective action points are agreed, action parties assigned and a time frame set, progress is then managed using a corrective action register. These action points can also be used as performance targets for employees and can also be incorporated into our performance improvement plan.
