Announcements


Corrective Action Notices (CAN) identify and address problems that may lead to additional costs, impact project schedules, or may be systemic in nature. They include a corrective action plan designed to eliminate the possibility of a recurrence, along with specific offices responsible for carrying out both immediate and permanent changes. When these changes alter any Baseline Document, a Baseline Document Change (BDC) Announcement follows.

Quality Improvement Advisories (QIA) are a means of notifying all engineering units and outside organizations involved with the project delivery process of problems that have occurred. QIA’s also include possible solutions and a means to alert others of information learned that may prove beneficial when incorporated under similar circumstances. Other uses include notification of efforts to minimize impacts to the project delivery schedule as well as avoiding unanticipated costs associated with project changes. QIA’s are usually issued to further address or explain an officially approved item that is already covered elsewhere.

All Design Unit (ADU) Memorandums issued changes to our documents. Parts of the ADUs may be obsolete. The issuance of ADUs ended with the start of Baseline Document Change Announcements in 1996.
