1. ELECTRONIC FILLING
1.1. Domain of application
This plan is applicable to all Design & Build projects.
This plan is applicable for electronic files only (for hard copies refer to Chapter No2). A
C
dedicated directory for the project should be created including the under-mentioned folders
and sub-folders. For hard copies, the filing plan is done exactly in the same way, except that
for heavy subjects and for easier use, a folder can be split into several binders. The proper
filing of documents is the responsibility of the person in charge of the subject (i.e. MDE for a
specification, CAD Leader for a set of General Assembly Drawings…).
1.2. Usage
Each of the folders in the classification plan defines the level of classification ranging from
general to particular. The first two detailing levels are already specified according to the
project, the third detailing level is optional leaving the choice to the project manager at the
commencement of project execution. The fourth detailing level is flexible.
1.3. Description
1.3.1. Suppliers' Folder (Yellow folder)
This folder contain consultations with suppliers, choice of suppliers, material
specification and order, order follow up, logistics, folders on maintenance of material. It s
structured as follow:
