START POINT: DEEP ROOTED KNOWLEDGE OF ALL INTERNAL PRODUCTION INPUTS
END POINT: INTEGRATED KNOWLEDGE OF OUR IMPACT ON THE FINAL OUTPUT - (CLIENT’S PRODUCTION)
CENTRALIZED INSPECTION
The centralized inspection process covers the entire production cycle beginning with from Periodic Materials Inspection—inspect materials and consumables against certification, verify dimensions and position parameters of structural elements; NDTs and welding procedures; Non-Corrosive Protection Inspection—control of environmental parameters for the painting process, WFT and DFT; Bolting and Hydrostatic Inspection; Logistics Inspection—control conditions for transportation and delivery, load capacity tests; In-situ Inspection —quality control of all structural cutting and dismantling operations, and refractory installation process.
CLIENT PRODUCTION ENHANCEMENT
Leveraging on our comprehensive knowledge of our clients’ production output, we have accomplished some important milestones at:
- MOZAL – Pot Cut Out and Replacement Contract: reducing the turnaround for the activity by 55%, with aggregate savings to the client worth +US$ 0.68 million/year
- MOZAL – Forced Network Cooling Project: installing a complex cooling system which increased the lifetime of pots, resulting in increase in aluminium production, equivalent to +US$ 190 million/year.
IMPROVEMENT PROTOCOL
Our Non-Conformity Management Policy aims to mitigate the re-occurrence risk of non-conforming outputs that starts with detailed description of the occurrence, determination of root causes (Ishikawa and 5 Whys), determine and implement corrective actions, and ends with evaluation of the effectiveness of implemented actions.
CLIENT PRODUCTION INTELLECT
Constant research of the client’s production processes to develop and propose engineering solutions and innovative techniques to optimize their production. Our personnel plays a critical role in this; as a result, we ensure that they have current connoisseurship and technical competencies through training and certifications that are in accordance with the customer’s latest technical standards.
