m Onsite Envisages To Minimise and Eliminate Onsite Paper Reporting In The Installation Sector
Machine installation and commissioning are a key part of operating a machine.
Life cycle costs to operate and maintain a machine is drastically reduced if the installation and commissioning is carried out as per the procedures & policies laid down by the company. It is an investment in the machine´s serviceability and reliability for its entire operational life.
Conversely, improper installation is a chronic source of
- Downtime,
- Poor product quality,
- Reduced capacity and
- High operating costs.
While installation requirements vary depending on the type of machine and its function, there are basic best practices that must be followed in every installation
Complying to a well defined Installation process will ensure all steps are followed in a sequential and standardized manner.
Verification of the work done at frequent intervals and regular communication on the progress is a must for successful and timely installation.
As soon as the parameters are set and the correct operation tested and confirmed the commissioning work is considered completed and the equipment is handed over to the customer.
Major Challenges faced by Installation Companies
- Payment Dispute – Payment dispute leads to Subcontractors awaiting payment from the owner who may be disputing the payments although the work is completed.
- Installation Best practices / Scope of work needs to be discussed and finalized with the owner prior to installation.
- In case of a dispute, a general argument is “Simply billing for work is no proof work was ever done.” Photos and notes provide visual documentation of any jobsite issues that need to be addressed or rework that may be needed.
- Technician must be able to document
- Any delays,
- Disruptions and lost hours.
- Signed approvals on submittals, change orders, etc. serve as irrefutable proof to receive any payment on claims.
- Delayed projects affect the profitability of a company.
- An integrated system connects all the stakeholders of the project to improve communications, accountability, and productivity.
