- Defects in items constructed or supplied are a major risk to optimal operation of the power plant. They can lead to delays in completion or loss of performance or reliability in service. Furthermore, defects may only become apparent after project takeover when commercial leverage over suppliers is reduced. Good quality management by the PM is therefore essential to project success.
