Case study on digiQC used being for on-site quality control by a solar company

1. About Company
XYZ Future Energies (XFE) is
part of XYZ Group and is one of
India's leading Independent
Power Producer (IPP) with
operating plants in wind, grid-
connected solar, and rooftop
solar. XFE provides clean power
to industries, businesses,
educational institutes, non-
profits, and governmental
organizations. Name - Mr. Saurabh Dubey
Designation - Deputy
Manager – Quality

2. Past Approach
Used Paper-based checklist
format for Quality control
conducted on site, these
checklists where scan on sent
and were sent to central quality
monitoring team for approval at
regular interval. This affected
the Project schedule and
sometimes can cause delay in
approval due to the process.
Also, the Paper based process
of quality control was not
environmentally friendly to
generate renewable energy.

3. Quality control conducted
through paper-based format
on site were require
scanning and sent to Quality
control team for approval.
This scanning of documents
takes engineer's valuable
productive time.
Also, the data was not sent
immediately as it sent at
regular interval and real
time monitoring was not
possible.

Manager – Quality

4. Quality procedure was
taking more time and was
affecting project schedule.
Maintaining hard copies on
site was difficult and it also
created issue to retrieve
quality data in case it was
required for quality analysis
and process improvement
No assurance of quality
control on-site as
documents do not have any
photographic proof of actual
inspection done on site.

Manager – Quality

5. Spreadsheets were made
manually to maintain a
quality log on site which was
time-consuming
Quality teams were not able
to have full control of the
quality process as there
were multiple sites.
Challenges

Manager – Quality

6. After understanding the
process all the paper-based
checklists were implemented
in digiQC through their easy
checklist upload process.
The contractor used a
request for information (RFI)
checklist with an approval
feature to inform the site
quality control team for
inspection.

7. To ensure quality team visit
site checklists were set with
mandatory photograph
feature which was to be
taken from phone camera
only.
Quality control checklists
were configured with
approvers. As soon as
checklists are completed,
instant notification mail were
received. This reduced time
require for scanning and
delay in reporting.

8. This approval mail has all
the details of quality control
on site with actual site
photograph. Once Approved
or Redo, instant notification
is sent to site team which
again reduce communication
time require.
Due to Compulsory
photographs in checklists,
defect on-site was drastically
reduced & made inspector
conscious that they are
being watched remotely.

9. Quality control data that was
captured on-site can also be
viewed on the digiQC web
module in form of a
dashboard, logs, and detail
report for deep analysis.
Due to the availability of
data, process improvement
was possible which further
increase the site
workmanship quality.

10. Logs were automatically
created which eliminated
extra processes for site
engineers.
Smooth communication was
done between the site and
office team due to
transparency in quality data.

11. Example
Our project mostly involve
installation of fabrication part
after civil work, this makes civil
work crucial and any deviation
from drawing will make
installation difficult. After
implementation of digiQC the
deviation was minimal, and
failure were eliminated. Also,
the schedule was achieved as
plan due to faster
communication.

Designation - Deputy
Manager – Quality

12. Communication was faster
with increase in data
transparency
Process improvement made
it easier to handle multiple
projects remotely.
Quality failure reduce by
90%.
Time require to complete
the process reduced by 75%
Project delivery became
faster by 25%
