Action plan taken to eliminate shortcoming
 Lack of knowledge on technical terms:
A special training session has been conducted for the participants who were noticed to be
lacking or not versatile with painting technical terms to acquaint them with the necessary
word registers
 Lack of knowledge on causes of Coating failures and repair remedial
Sessions have been conducted to the workforce on daily basis and their knowledge on the sub
topic have improved tremendously
 Mixing and thinning of paint:
One personnel has been specifically trained and deployed to take care of mixing and thinning
of paints, as times goes by, more personnel would be trained on the aforementioned
 Lack of technical know-how on feathering technique
Practical classes have been conducted to ensure the personnel have the required ability to carry out
feathering as required and expected.
Their knowledge have been re evaluated after the said practical classes and found satisfactory.

Quality is a trait that we navigate…

Overcomes/ Current stand

 Following the completion of detailed classes ( Theoretical & Practical ) conducted

to eliminate all shortcomings, the personnel have now acquired enough knowledge
