4. Importance of expertise: towards problem solving
The surveyor's report is based on facts, findings and analyses, with the main output being, if not the cause of the damage, the formulation of hypotheses to explain the deterioration. If the scenario cannot be completely established, the expertise at least provides leads that can then be explored.
According to the NF X50-110 In this case, the surveyor's role is limited to answering the question of the cause of the damage. Proposing solutions, if they result from the survey, is a separate, consultancy activity. It's not always easy to make this distinction in the expert's conclusions: the client's expectation, especially if it's a small or medium-sized business, is the solution to the problem.
The effects on the operation of the plant being assessed can be manifold, affecting...
