Construction quality assurance benefits

The expected benefits of the suggested approach to quality assuring operational risk BN models are organizational buy-in and increased credibUity in model results. The latter, through direct involvement in the process of model construction firmly rooting the model in specific work processes. In addition the discussion of causal interactions also creates risk awareness within the organization as the involved experts learn how the process for which they are responsihle can fail and incur losses. 

As illustrated in the previous paragraphs, in the last decade, advanced textile materials have been developed as a result of a number of research and innovation projects addressing the construction sector. Despite the benefits introduced by this new generation of multi-functional materials, many building practitioners are unfamiliar with the behaviour and characteristics of these materials. The lack of information about the uses and properties of these materials from the design and constmction community limits their capability of achieving the highest possible standards in quality assurance and control of construction projects. 

Medical textiles are classified in Scheme 6.1. This scheme detailing constituents of various polymeric substances (eg, natural or synthetic) and their construction processes as outlined in the previous section is important in defining medical textiles aptly. Similarly, testing the properties and performance of medical textiles with suitable methods under accredited standards is essential. Thus, it is worthwhile to adequately describe all test methods, performance testing features, results analysis, and presentation guidelines of test results prior to marketing and commercialization of a device or product. This is done so that care and quality assurance of medical textiles will be documented appropriately, which benefits users.
