  • When Drawing go on Hold for whatever Reason

    When Drawing go on Hold for whatever Reason

    When issued for Fabrication drawings go on Hold for whatever reason.

     

    Things to note.

    • Drawings issued for fabrication will be in a work flow. We have no control on where all these drawings have gone.
    • The only thing we can do is introduce a new revision for the drawing into the work flow with a new Revision NoDO NOT FABRICATE – DRAWING ON HOLD
    • Put a STAMP across the drawing. DRAWING ON HOLD
    • In the revision col, the revision discription should “Do Not Fabricate”
    • Take a drawing List report which has the revision Mark and Revision description. (Do Not Fabricate)
  • When clients puts pressure on for Delivery

    When clients puts pressure on for Delivery

    When clients put a lot of pressure.

    No urgent delivery is delivery if full processes cannot be completed.

    In spite of who puts the pressure on – All processes must be completed.
    Do not plan to complete any job by doing a 12-hour shift. It will not go well.

    Most urgent jobs, when has not gone through processes which it must go through, turn out to be

    1. Wrong
    2. Client is Not happy
    3. Hurts everyone in the business.

    Lesson to be learned.

    Pressures come in this job
    But it is up to the Team Lead to assess whether a job can be delivered PROPERLY at a certain time.

    If the answer is no. Then you MUST GIVE A FIRM NO. That way everyone is happier.

  • LGS Framing. When to send .sdp file

    LGS Framing. When to send .sdp file

    Do not send .sdp files when RFIs are outstanding and drawings not approved.

    We have 2 cases where client fabricated off approval model when RFIs were not cleared. They could fabricate only beause we sent all the files to them. Hence going forward no machine files, .sdp files to be sent to client until all rfis are cleared and drawings are approved.

    This will prevent them making anything from approval drawings.
