Inspection & Expediting Services
Inspecting Services
SHOP INSPECTIONS
Shop inspections are performed to supervise and control production processes, to verify product quality or to accept ready products.
The service aims to control, at the facility of the manufacturer or sub-contractor, the quality of workmanship and the conformity of the manufactured equipment with the purchase specifications, the applicable drawings, codes and standards and other relevant contractual documents. The level of involvement can be specified by the client, and may include stage inspections, witness testing or final inspection.
Shop inspections have a dual benefit for the project, as they have both a corrective and a preventive
component. When non-conformities are detected during shop inspection, they can be corrected. Also,
the knowledge that shop inspections on behalf of the client are taking place or surprise inspections
can be expected at any time will stimulate the manufacturer to produce faultless products
EQUIPMENT INSPECTIONS
All types of mechanical, electrical and electron equipment are inspected to verify compliance to specified standard & Projects requirements. According to the size and complexity of the equipment, one inspection visit, or several visits shall be made; in the latter case, inspection could start with a pre-production meeting followed by identification and inspection of all raw materials, inspections at all prescribed hold-point stages, witnessing all tests, verification of all certificates and as specified by Client issuances for final inspection release for shipment
MILLING INSPECTIONS
As regard to inspection and certification of plates, line pipes, castings, tubing’s, etc., our specialist inspectors have knowledge of forming, welding, non-destructive testing, threading, coating, stocking, loading etc. For large orders, a team of inspectors is placed in the mill in all shifts and all stages of manufacture and test are controlled. Detailed reports are issued on shift, weekly and completion basis; reports are either manual or computerized. The latter is a distinct aid in controlling the certification and helps with material traceability.
Pre-shipment Inspections
Pre-shipment inspection is offered to exporters and importers and comprises a detailed inspection of equipment or materials after manufacture, but prior to shipment. The scope includes Quality, Packing & Marking and Supervision of Loading. A Certificate of Inspection can be provided.
Expediting Services
EXPEDITING
GE-QS offers a broad range of Supply Chain related services to assist engineers, contractors and constructors. As part of the Supply Chain, expediting is performed to supervise delivery timing and schedules.
The purpose of the expediting service is to ensure the delivery of purchased goods to a pre- determined and promised delivery schedule or critical path network. It is the task of the expeditor to detect and analyses the areas, which might cause or entail delays. The expeditor must obtain or reaffirm delivery promises from suppliers, must fully investigate all aspects of the suppliers scheduling which are evidence of the practicality of achieving such promises and must physically check progress of all functions of the suppliers’ operations being engineering, procurement, production and shipping departments.
The outcome of the service is to suggest constructive solutions in order to meet the schedule, inform the client of the real situation existing and of all decisions taken to meet the pre- determined schedule. GE-QS can perform expediting services to a sequential group of activities forming a chain within the network plan, a selected number of activities or indeed the total project activities.
