Quality
Powering the Growth
Gearing up for 2012…
VISION 2012 Quality
• The Quality function will be done by the
respective task performers
• Defect prevention will be given top priority
• Supported with Integrated systems and
functions towards total compliance to
specifications.
• The final task performer will certify the
outgoing product for its quality
• Quality Surveillance and audits will be the
source for improvement actions

Physical Growth rate of about 10% CAGR in Shops
17% CAGR in Outsourcing/Away Centre fabrication
30% in Shops, 70% in Outsourcing
Increased Outsourcing from 1,20,000 MT to 3,20,000

• Reduced in-house human resource/ talent, with
no significant inductions
• A company-wide quality culture
• Increased Automation, e-enabling

Defect Prevention culture to avert errors and
defects (instead of finding out defectives and
correcting the same)
The task performers own and control the
process and monitor the performance (without
the need for separate QC Personnel at Shop
floor/ Vendor Works for verification and
compliance)
The goal is to reach Zero Defects

Global Quality Management Approach
Gearing up for 2012
Quality:
Presentation
Vision 2012:
Focus
Strategies
1. Focus on Quality Planning rather than Inspection
2. Minimisation of human dependence with
appropriate automation
3. Increased Outsourcing of non-core activities
4. More stress on Self Inspection
5. Adequate and Reliable Supplier-base with Strong
Partnership
6. Quality Image Enhancement
7. Sustenance of Knowledge Base
8. Highly Motivated self-driven Team
Gearing up for 2012
1. Focus on Quality Planning … 1
• Effective Process Management *
• Dedicated Group to analyse data regularly,
Root Cause analysis and Mistake Proofing *
• Establishment and Monitoring of Process
Capability for all CTQ Work Centres
• Minimisation of Liaison Work through online
systems and outsourcing
• Strong internal audits and surveillance in all
functions
• Continuous Revisit and Standardisation of
Procedures and Plans *
Gearing up for 2012
1. Focus on Quality Planning … 2
• Simplifying Quality Function through
Modularisation of Products
• Enhancing Customer Confidence for
Reduction of Hold Points (CHPs)
• Augmentation and right mix of Quality
Equipments, with high utilisation
• Comprehensive documentation to task
performers on time
• Monitor and control Cost of Quality *
Gearing up for 2012
2. Minimising Human Dependence
• Automation in Inspection – *
– Automated measurements by probes in CNC System
– Laser-based linear measurements
– Portable Co-ordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)
based measurements for fabricated components
– Robots, AI based Decision Making Equipments
– Automated Equipments in Testing and NDE
• Intelligent Process Monitoring and Control of
major welding, forming and other processes
• Electronic Data Exchange of Quality Work
Instructions and Reports – IT Plan *
• Voice enabled data acquisition systems
• Increased Speed of Response *
Gearing up for 2012
3. Increased Outsourcing
The potential additional areas of
outsourcing of the Quality Activities:
• Material Quality Assessment on receipt
• Documentation work at Shop & Data Folder /
IBR certificate preparation
• Fixed Tenure Recruitment of certified NDE and
other Quality Engineers/ Supervisors for 3
shift working
• Calibration and more Routine Testing
Activities
Gearing up for 2012
4. Stress on Self Inspection / Certification
• Certification of Personnel for Specific
Assignments based on competencies
• Majority of the vendors aligned with ISO 9001
systems, with dedicated BHEL audit teams
conducting planned surveillance audits
• Robust system for monitoring effectiveness of
self inspection through interlinking of product
performance, continuous rating, feedback,
retraining etc *
Gearing up for 2012
5. Reliable Supplier-base …. 1
• Partnering with Suppliers to develop them for
manufacturing pressure parts and precision
products, through a dedicated group
– to assist in establishment of quality systems (FOT, WPS ,
Welder qualification, Speciality Tooling and Gauges,
Measurement techniques etc.) with reduced cycle time &
enhanced quality
• Wider Self Product Certification for specific jobs
• Electronic Data Interchange with Suppliers;
including online TC Verification and product
acceptance
Gearing up for 2012
5. Reliable Supplier-base …. 2
• Grooming up a team of "mobile" quality
inspector turned educators for meeting
extensive away centre/site fabrication quality
requirements
• Extensive sharing of improved "processes"
developed by BHEL with the vendors
Gearing up for 2012
6. Image Enhancement
• Creation of a Centre of Excellence for
Materials Evaluation
• Training and Support in Quality Management
(ISO 9001, TQM etc)
• Increased participation by executives as
NABL Assessors for other Testing /
Calibration Labs, CII Assessors for CII
Award, Q & HSE Audits etc
• Become a Well known Valve/ Boiler Maker
Gearing up for 2012
7. Sustenance of Knowledge-base
• Creating a robust online knowledge bank by
capturing the tacit experiences of Quality
Personnel *
– On Site Failures, Modifications, Improvement Studies,
Site Visit Tour Reports, Quality Improvement Studies,
implemented suggestions etc
• Development of On-line Query System for
clarifications in Quality Field, Online data bank
to enable task performer to take corrective
action in case of deviations
• Support to WRI to continuously assess the
impact of new materials/ new processes and
their application issues
Gearing up for 2012
8. Motivated Team
• Training and Skill Upgradation of personnel,
based on identified competency needs
• Plant wide SQC Knowledge and an SQC culture
• Training in areas like SQC, Six Sigma, FMEA and
other Quality tools to all personnel *
• Competency mapping and capability building of
personnel to enable scientific problem analysis
and solving
• System for tracking Quality Performance of Task
Performers and the linked training
• Increased team work through Quality Circles
and small group working
*

Quality: The Facets
Focus
Quality ….
- In Products
- In Services
- In Business Processes
…. Is ultimately perceived by our Customers
and Stakeholders as the Image of our
Organisation
Every facet of Quality has to meet all the
expectations of customers
Quality is every Employee’s Vision

Root Cause Analysis and Mistake Proofing
Approach
Form CFTs ( Quality, Engg, FES, OP&C, Production/ MM/ OS)
Capture all the non conformances and computerise, if not already
done/ Stratify data
Generate a software to compare non conformances and SARs
Identify repeated ones/ vital ones
Analyse and find the root cause
Identify the corrective actions and implement
Identify the fool-proofing method
Take pilot trial
Implement on regular basis
Identify the next priority
Plan for implementation during 2005-07

Quality Circles - Revival
• Each executive to be a facilitator for a QC and a weightage to be
allotted in e-map for QC activities
• Mass awareness programme on QC to be conducted to cover all
employees in a short time.
• Senior executives to guide, steer the QCs for their successful
performance. Monthly presentations in each product /function GMs
• Canteens to be used for weekly meetings of QCs on prefixed days so
that regularity of meeting is ensured; Refreshments are served at
canteens during the meeting for the participants. Specific tables on
each day , can be earmarked for specific QCs
• Problem banks for each area to be developed by the Executives and
arranged for display so that QCs can choose the problems requiring
immediate attention.They will cover quality, productivity,customer
feedback etc.,(ECPS, ICPS, EPS-FGD issues, Cust Complaints, NCRs etc.)
• Simplified presentation template to be designed by Quality/BE
• Implementation of simplified immediate reward system for QCs.Say, Rs
50 once problem is taken up by QC; Rs 500 once problem is solved and
implemented; After evaluation, the balance reward
