Method Statement Our Project Management Department that comprises of experienced engineers and highly skilled professionals work throughout the entire phases on achieving the project as per the Customer requirement. The phases involved in the project Management are summarized as follows in sequence
18
1. Enquiry & Project Estimation
6. Material Receipt
2. Planning
7. Fabrication
3. Accessories
8. Delivery
4. Project Design
9. Proper storage at Site
5. Material Purchasing
10. Installation
Enquiry& Project Estimation At the initial stage on receiving the enquiry from the Customers, the estimation engineers review the drawings and specification of a project to ensure the accuracy of the requirement before finalizing the offer. Any clarifications / queries related to the requirement shall be liaised with the Customer thereby achieving the accurate estimate. This will also help them to avoid the potential of future conflicts during the project execution. Using world class European Software, cost estimation of projects is carried out by highly experienced estimators. They also liaise with Sales, Engineering, and QC for clarification and additional information required during estimation. Our Estimators provide value engineered solutions to achieve project economy without sacrificing the technical performance envisaged by the Consultant.
Planning The planning of the order formally begins after the Sales Order and Optimization disc containing detailed instructions are released by the Estimation/Marketing Department to the Production Department. The Production Manager reviews all the programs and delegates the Job Order to a particular Section.
19
Accessories When the order is confirmed, the technical coordinator liaises with the Customer to ensure all the requirements are met. High quality samples and accessories, along with the required supplier technical data are submitted for the approval. Swift Facades always focus to ensure that the customer is wholly satisfied with the range of products offered.
Project Design The Design department has a highly qualified and experienced team of Engineers. Using latest software for Structural Design and CAD, our Engineers provide structurally stable solutions meeting the aesthetic, thermal, acoustic standards defined by the consultant. All projects are designed to the highest International codes and standards.
Material Purchasing Materials are procured from leading and established vendors locally and globally to ensure best quality standards. New vendors are included only after they satisfy the strict quality control checks of our Quality department. Swift Facades procures material based on the orders prepared by the Estimator and approved by the Production Manager. Relevant technical information also will be attached to the orders to correctly describe the specific requirements given. Moreover, the workflow of the order is always forwarded to the Procurement Department to ensure the timely manner of material receipt.
20
Material Receipt Prior to arrival of material on site,“advice notices” or other shipping notifications will be received by the Material supervisor. When he receives the material he checks thoroughly against the requisition and the relevant purchase order to ascertain that the material meets the specifications and is correct in quantity. All incoming material is carefully inspected by our quality Engineer to ensure there is no sign of defect and the same is in compliance with the approved samples. The Material Supervisor then records the volume and nature of the shipment and assigns a storage location. The compliant material is labeled and stored separately to ensure it is used for the correct project. Non-compliant material if any is returned to the supplier and the company always tries to ensure that the replacement sources are available immediately without affecting the project program.
21
Fabrication Various fabrication methods are implemented accordingly in order to meet the requirements. Once raw materials are made into useful parts, the aluminium fabrication can continue with cutting, grinding, drilling, or shaping as specified. The best fabrication method shall be chosen based on the desired output of the Customer. Various inspections and tests are conducted by the QC team during the fabrication process in regular intervals thereby avoiding non-qualified products being installed and also replacement to be done at the same time.
Delivery Once the Quality Engineer approves the final product of aluminium profile, the same is then packaged, stored and delivered according to the criteria stipulated by our quality management system. Prior to packaging the Aluminium profiles are subjected to the final stages of quality control inspections, ensuring consistency of our products and the delivery of high quality of Aluminium profiles. If required by the contract, the Consultant is to be notified about the delivery schedule so he may inspect the finished product and confirm that it is to his compliance
Proper storage at Site Upon receipt of all materials the company, coordinates with the main contractor to ensure adequate storage space is provided at site for the proper storage of incoming material. This is very essential to avoid damages to stored material. Different material is stored in different methods, based on its geometry and type. We recommend the site supervisor not to store
22
23
the materials directly on the ground to avoid damages and sacrificing of quality. The site supervisor is responsible that all material stored is properly marked and color coded in accordance with the specification. This color coding is maintained throughout the storage / construction period.
Installation: The project engineer prepares the necessary resources required according to the project to complete the job within the estimated project timeline. The project engineer then organises the team to execute the work and ensure the project is achieved. Any potential problems in the sequence of works are highlighted to the Main Contractor at an early stage to avoid future clashes and time loss. The erection process is done in accordance with the accepted industry standards.These are a combination of the various supplier recommendations, experience, and technical know-how. The suppliers are often called to the site to inspect and confirm the fixing is done as per their requirements to ensure the proper application of their products and to avoid any faults due to fabrication. Any issues or non-compliance shall be immediately highlighted to the Project Engineer who shall be responsible for corrective actions. Final test of the project will be conducted by the Consultant in various areas to ensure that work is being done in a satisfactory manner and that no rejections will be made later on that may delay the project.
