What kind of equipment requires on-site supervision during manufacturing?

We face the same problems as you; our equipment engineers spend their days in the workshops of the equipment manufacturers, where, in addition to providing guidance, their main task is to oversee the manufacturing quality. To ensure that equipment meets quality standards, relying solely on the conscientiousness of the manufacturers is not sufficient. To put it simply, if they want to maximize profits, the producers will inevitably cut corners. Regardless of the manufacturing of any device, supervision is always better than having no supervision.

Generally, in situations where the project timeline is tight, in order to speed things up and push manufacturers to meet their delivery schedules, people are sent on-site to oversee the manufacturing process, so as to keep up with the construction schedule. It may also be done for quality supervision and inspection, to ensure that the product quality meets standards and to carry out process quality control; this is also in line with the 9000 quality management system. If supervision of equipment manufacturing is required, it’s actually quite simple – the easiest approach is to hire a supervisor. haha. Of course, you can also prepare the supervision plan yourself. I remember there are standards for the supervision of electrical equipment; you can use such guidelines as a reference, and list all the aspects that need to be addressed based on the manufacturing processes of different types of equipment. Clearly define the standards and requirements for supervision. In short, the main priorities are speed and maintaining good relationships between all parties involved.

Dear sea friends, what I really want to know urgently is: which devices exactly require supervision during manufacturing?

Exactly what needs to be supervised during manufacturing depends on your industry. Apart from cases where supervision is mandatory – which is common in the power safety sector – it depends on the contract as well. You can ask the supervisor; it’s their responsibility. Equipment procurement supervision and equipment manufacturing supervision 　　8.1 Equipment procurement supervision 　　8.1.1 　　The supervision unit shall, in accordance with the supervision contract for the equipment procurement phase signed with the project owner, establish a project supervision team composed of the chief supervision engineer and professional supervision engineers.

First, evaluate the equipment; equipment that has a significant impact on production must be under supervision during manufacturing. For those with a major impact, irregular inspections are necessary. As for less important equipment, it can be inspected upon delivery

1. In accordance with relevant regulations such as the Interim Measures for Equipment Supervision Management, the processes of design, procurement, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning of complete sets of equipment and key unit equipment required for large and medium-sized capital construction projects, technical transformation projects above a certain scale, etc., in order to support industrial production processes and establish production capacity, as well as the important hardware for key information systems and the software necessary to support their operation, must all be included within the scope of equipment project management. 2. Based on our experience, for the main equipment, critical equipment, and large-scale units in production facilities, supervision agencies are engaged to dispatch supervision engineers to conduct on-site supervision of manufacturing at the factory. 3. For pressure vessels, we do not conduct on-site supervision for all of them; generally, supervision is only carried out for high-pressure vessels and category III vessels ； Other containers only undergo on-site inspections at the manufacturing plant irregularly, as well as pre-shipment preliminary inspections. 4. Regarding the determination of the equipment for on-site supervision during manufacturing, there is no absolute limit on our investment amount; it is merely relative ； Rather, it focuses more on the importance of the equipment during the operation of the production facility. For reference!

I am currently supervising the production at Shenyang Blower Factory. Generally speaking, there are two issues: first, the progress does not meet the requirements of your on-site construction； II. Concerns that the quality may not be up to standard, as manufacturers might cut corners in production (I personally think state-owned enterprises wouldn’t have such problems; it’s not in their interest to do so, but if issues arise, they will have to take responsibility). It’s difficult to get goods delivered when dealing with large state-owned enterprises like SHENGU – I’ve had enough of being treated like a servant :) :) :)

For owners, projects with tight deadlines, high quality requirements, and those involving concealed work during the manufacturing process that requires supervision should all implement supervised manufacturing.
