    Com minha experiência do setor da qualidade, após a etapas da escolha das empresas parceiras e assinados os contratos seria apresentado em reunião presencial os padrões vigentes pré acordados com o cliente, seria capacitado os times das empresas parceiras através de cursos, work shops, OJT e posteriormente auditorias técnicas periódicas, a fim de, mensurar os níveis das instalações e através de dados estatísticos extrairia os ofensores e times com piores performances apresentaria um plano de ajustes e ou re capacitação, para nivelar todos envolvidos na implantação .

    El seguimiento activo y el trato dinámico con el proveedor es de suma importancia. Tambien es necesario que el proveedor no vea a los inspectores como enemigos sino como colaboradores que le ayudaran a alinearse a los estandares. Por otro lado estan las charlas continuas donde se deben detectar los puntos donde ocurren flaquezas y a partir de eso se deben establecer mayoresfrecuencias de control. Una estrategia a nivel contractual es poner los pagos atados a la certificación dwe los inspectores de los requisitos de estandares a cumplir

    To ensure subcontractors consistently meet industry standards, start with clear agreements that define quality expectations. Regular audits and real-time monitoring help catch issues early. Keep communication transparent and structured, and provide ongoing training to align everyone. Use KPIs and performance reviews to maintain accountability. Most importantly, make compliance part of the company culture—when everyone understands its value, standards aren’t just followed, they become a natural part of how business is done.

    In my experience, the main problem is when the subcontractor misunderstands the engineering, specifications, and technical documents or even doesn't use them. Therefore to ensure that the works meet the standards, ask them if they understand the requirements and be sure that they have read the technical documents after that if they have no doubts, overseeing will be easy and the work will meet the standards.

    A few things to consider: - Describe your industry and/or internal standards clearly in contracts, or RFQs and request explicit compliance from your potential subcontractors before engaging - Once engaged/contracted, establish a clear communications plan, part of an overall project plan that includes reporting on compliance to standards, gaps, and remedial actions - Enterprise Architecture practices and tools can also help here

    I managed 15 companies for the installation of 9,000 km of fiber optic cable throughout Mongolia between 2011 and 2015. After that experience, I understood that frequent daily reports, picture documentation, and on-site supervisors are essential for monitoring the quality and standards of a subcontractor’s installation and completion. For OSP projects, concealment reports are crucial for verifying compliance with required standards and quality.

    Para garantir que os padrões do setor sejam atendidos, estabeleça diretrizes claras desde o início, definindo expectativas detalhadas em contratos e SLAs. Realize treinamentos regulares e forneça documentação técnica para alinhar os subcontratados às normas exigidas. Implemente auditorias periódicas e inspeções para monitorar a conformidade. Utilize ferramentas de gestão para acompanhar o progresso e identificar desvios rapidamente. Mantenha uma comunicação aberta e proativa, incentivando feedback e colaboração contínua. Caso ocorra não conformidade, aplique medidas corretivas imediatamente para evitar impactos na qualidade e na reputação do projeto.

    Esta pregunta me recuerda a la firma de contratos entre las empresas extranjeras y el estado peruano, el pésimo servicio que recibimos los peruanos a cambio de un puñado de dinero que reciben los administradores de turno del gobierno. La transancional vietnamita VIETEL TELECOM, presta servicios de ISP en las zonas nor oriente del Perú y es la peor desgracia que nos puede pasar a los peruanos, pero increiblemente el estado peruano lo premia con una extension de la concesion y el manejo anual de la billetera digital para todos los peruanos.. El cumplimiento de los estandáres de calidad prestada, dependerá de la cantidad de dinero que se entregue al estado.
