Vendor Inspection
Vendor Inspection – also known as Source Inspection or Third-Party Inspection – contains actions carried out at the manufacturer’s works of all sorts of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and instrumentation machinery bought for the Petrochemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical and mining sectors.
Field Desk Expediting
Expediting is a constant method of making sure that the final delivery to the job site is accomplished within the shortest possible time frame. An expediting service has to be carried out autonomously of inspection activities and be performed by a panel of experienced field expeditors.
Presently, expediting is a vital part of the procurement process. It was regarded as a corrective rather than preventive activity in the past. However, the schedule – along with the pricing of projects – becomes progressively crucial and expediting should be integrated into the project planning at the onset to assure timely delivery.
Technical Capability Audits
At Velosi, our QA (Quality Assurance) Engineers engineers are experts in performing supplier evaluations, pre-contract award surveys, vendor surveillance and third-party quality assurance audits. We have good relationships with a broad range of oil and gas-related vendors across the globe that enable us to carry our pre-contract award surveys with regular experience of these manufacturers. And, this can be a beneficial tool for organizations who are considering to place orders with unknown vendors with or those vendors they may have reservations about.
