Day 22: FAT at Swift Energy Shah Alam (part II)

Since FAT is a must procedure for each project design, it has to follow certain procedures for easier interpretation and also brief overviews by the manufacturer in order to comply the demanded specifications.

As i told previously, there 2 FATs have been conducted at the SWift Energy Sdn Bhd. The 2nd project is a Dual DC charger. This project is actually for the TANJUNG LANGSAT CITY GATE STATION as the end user. Swift energy have been awarded to build/construct the needed charger to be installed for the latter project.

How PETRONAS choose certain developer/manufacturer company in their project development...hurmm.. is something that i'm not well aware of.. But i believed, they open bidding session for those interested company & choose the best one.... i guessed...hehehhe

                                         The Dual Charger Rack   
                                                                                 
The Manufacturer personnel testing the equipment

The Pictures above demostrates how they do the FATs. Witnessess by the end user (PETRONAS), and customer (Misi Setia Oil) personnels, the test have been conducted manually until all the equipment (circuit + rack + design specification + function evaluation) being tested. Prior to this procedure, the manufacturer would have to provide and well-ready for all the questions being thrown by the customers@end user. It is to prove that the manufactured design comply with the specs.

Soon as the FAT take place, the committee members will have a thorough discussions. This will enclose all the unsatisfactorily facts, changes, and alterations outer from the customers and end user in order to meets their expectations. This process could be considered the final process since it determines whether the manufactured designs being accepted or not.  So, in other words, the manufacturer needs to re-manufactured or slightly change their designs as needed.. In other perspectives, if the manufacturer doesn't follow the specification given, they gonna bear all the losses and have to re-built the designs.... hurmmm what a waste....
