Commissioning

Create and manage punch lists and punch items to track unfinished items, defects and check records that must be completed or corrected for sign-off or acceptance of the project or contract. Punch lists progress through Preliminary, Defined, Approved and Completed statuses with per-item inspection and history tracking.

Delivers new equipment into productive service at the customer site and, critically, creates the installed base record that every later aftermarket process depends on. In IFS Cloud the sold Customer Order becomes an installation scope of Work Orders and Work Tasks, site readiness and logistics are coordinated, and commissioning tests are recorded as Measurements against customer acceptance. Completion registers the as-built Serial Object, starts the Warranty term and activates the Service Contract, closing the loop from sale into service.

Governs how inspection and test plans are prepared, executed and signed off on a construction project, and how the resulting records are held in IFS Cloud. An ITP sets out every inspection and test required on a scope of work, at which stage, by whom, and what a passing result looks like, with hold points that stop work until sign-off and witness points that only require notification. Failed inspections raise a non-conformance that must be closed before the work is covered up, and the completed ITP records form the handover quality dossier.

Takes the completed works from static installation to a proven, documented, operable asset - commissioning plan and witness testing, results capture, compilation and release of the O&M manual and health and safety file, client and FM training, then formal handover at practical completion. In IFS Cloud the commissioning activities sit on the Project and Project Activity structure, the manual is assembled as a document structure or package in IFS Document Management, and the asset is created as Functional Object / Equipment Object with Maintenance Plan ready for operations.

Delivers new capacity and capital plant upgrades through the staged commissioning discipline, managed as an IFS Cloud Project. The work breakdown carries the Cx level gates as Project Activities - factory witness testing, site acceptance, start-up and pre-functional, functional performance testing and integrated systems testing - with scripts and results held as Documents. Only after the Level 5 integrated systems test is accepted is the plant handed to operations as Functional and Serial Objects with Criticality, PM Actions, spares and O&M documentation in place.

Takes installed HVAC systems from static completion to a witnessed, documented handover. Covers the commissioning plan, preliminary and static checks, setting to work, regulation and functional performance testing to the applicable commissioning codes, client or consultant witnessing and certification, and assembly and issue of the O and M documentation and as-installed record set that transfers the system into operation.

Covers OEM installation and commissioning of a regulated medical device at a customer site, executed in IFS Cloud as a Work Order and Work Task chain against a newly registered Service Object. Installation Qualification and Operational Qualification are driven as work task checklists with test point and parameter measurement capture, and the signed qualification package is retained as Documents against the object. The process closes with QA release for clinical use, warranty activation and instantiation of the recurring service program.

Governs the formal handover gate at the end of a medical device install: acceptance tests executed against the Service Object test points, deviations captured as punch-list Work Tasks, and a signed acceptance certificate attached to the object as a Document. Sign-off is the event that sets the object In Operation, starts the customer warranty validity period and releases the commissioning Work Order postings to a Customer Order for invoicing. Refused acceptance is a terminal outcome that keeps the device out of clinical use until the punch list is cleared and the gate is re-run.

Installs and commissions the active network at a permitted, civils-ready site - equipment mounting, power and earthing, antenna and feeder work, then configuration, integration and on-air testing to reach RFS. In IFS Cloud the build runs as Work Orders and Project Activities on the site Sub Project, with serialised equipment issued from inventory and registered as Functional and Serial Objects on completion. Integration test results are the evidence that supports acceptance and handover.

Closes out the build by proving the site was delivered to design, clearing snags, and transferring the completed asset with its documentation and maintenance regime to network operations. In IFS Cloud the as-built pack is assembled against the site Sub Project, the Functional and Serial Objects are finalised, maintenance plans and criticality are applied, and the project cost is settled for capitalisation. Only after formal acceptance does the site leave the rollout programme and enter the operate-and-maintain lifecycle.

Delivers plant upgrades, new treatment trains and network renewals from approved business case through commissioning to asset handover and capitalisation. IFS positions an integrated project and asset lifecycle for capital asset managers in Energy, Utilities and Resources, so the scheme is run as an IFS Cloud Project with a WBS of Project Activities carrying budget, commitments and progress, while procurement is executed through Purchase Orders against Suppliers. Handover creates or updates the Functional Objects, Maintenance Plans and documentation that the operations and maintenance processes then depend on.
