A series of critical stage reviews is closely adhered to following receipt of any order and as soon as it is received, it is reviewed against the quotation for any variances or deviations in the scope of supply.

To ensure a smooth transition, the commercial department then reviews  the commercial and contractual implications and follows this with a kick off meeting which takes place between all relevant  departments.

Once the kick off has been completed, the contract is assessed by the project managers and specific engineers are assigned to carry the project through to completion.

From this point the project will be managed and liased with the client and engineers to ensure that it is completed on time and within budget.  Project planning is usually aided by programming tools such as Project Commander to identify critical project milestones.

At this time, a specific quality plan for the project is devised and forwarded to the client for approval.

During the design phase of the project, which is normally undertaken using AutoCad, reviews are carried out on the specification, drawing approval and software, prior to manufacture.

Once an approved package of drawings is ready, handover to the production department takes place, accompanied by a further meeting to ensure a smooth transition between our engineering and production departments.

Once the project reaches manufacture – each stage thereafter is controlled using a job card. After each stage  of the fabrication is complete the project engineer carries out a stage inspection before allowing the job card to be signed off and the project to continue.

Once fabrication is complete the systems testing can begin.  For testing purposes the engineer will assemble a job pack consisting of a test procedure, 'as built' drawings, a full specification and fault report lists which will be controlled by the quality and inspection department who control the testing function.

All of the above are carried out at our Stockport facility and are implemented in line with our quality policy system.

When the equipment is delivered to site, a programme for Site Acceptance Testing, commissioning and plant start-up is put in place.  This is done in conjunction with the client, site contractors, Hima-Sella project team and our customer service department.

A full compliment of after sales service and training is offered to all customers who undertake a project with Hima-Sella.  Please contact our Service Dept at service@hima-sella.co.uk for details of the training packages we offer.
