As of April, concrete plants must have a Factory Production Control System (FPCS) in place that covers, among others, the following aspects:

Personnel: qualification and HR management.
Control of raw materials, purchasing, product requirements, IIT (incoming inspection and testing).
Control of facilities, production equipment and inspection, measurement and testing equipment. It includes software of the plant, control of production equipment, measuring and testing equipment…
Concrete control (final product), product testing, according to EN 206 and EHE-08 (about to be repealed by the new structural code). Self-control plan.
Evaluation of resistance results, by means of normative criteria established in legislation and technical standards. Statistical control of results.
Control of supply (and during supply).
Control of documentation and traceability.
Production control laboratory: reports, personnel qualification, instructions, equipment calibration…
Control of environmental aspects: waste management, minimisation of environmental aspects…

The SCPF acts as a guarantee of quality and excellence, and serves as an impulse towards the modernisation of the plant, the improvement of processes and sustainability.

At OAK we design and implement production control systems in accordance with R.D. 163/2019 throughout Spain. Our projects are developed according to the characteristics of each company, and seek, in addition to accreditation, the improvement of plant control systems.
