Role of QC at various stages • Manufacturing : • Testing and reporting for products against specs. • Seek explanation for deviations. • Recommend appropriate remedial action, • Examine amendments to specs. • Set new specifications/ standards in conjunction with R&D, user depts. Industry and Ministry. • Seek / recommend time-bound action plan for disposal of off-spec products in consultation with R & D.
Storage, Handling & Distribution: Regular QC audits / inspections. Practices to conform to IQCM. Responsibility of locations. Recommendations/ suggestions by QC for time-bound action plan for implementation. Seek compliance report. Reactivate defunct labs in locations Up gradation of lab facilities. New QC labs at other locations. Role of QC at various stages
Procurement stage: Testing of raw materials / additives and advising outcome. Setting guidelines for handling deviations. Incorporate appropriate penal clauses in purchase contracts. Evolve / amend specs in conjunction with R&D and user Departments. Role of QC at various stages
Vendor stage: Audit / inspection of re-packers. Audit / inspection of suppliers. Evolve penal clauses. Role of QC at various stages
ISSUES • Manpower for Labs. • Existing vacancies. • Reporting structure of Labs. • Accountability of custodians. • Quality cushion from Refineries as per Industry Acceptance Manual. • Interface management at locations. • Sample discipline. • Implementation of Multi Discipline Safety Audit at Terminals. • Storage Constraints: • Tank Cleaning • Product quality during dry out situations.

QC CHECKS AT POL LOCATIONS • QC CHECKS ARE CARRIED AT VARIOUS STAGES OF STOCK HANDLING IN POL OPERATIONS • DURING RECIEPT • DURING STORAGE • DURING DISPATCH
QC CHECKS DURING RECIEPT • Receipt Thru P/L,Ocean Tankers : • UML composite sample from nominated tank to be drawn jointly – labeled ,sealed and retained • Above to be discarded , in case A/R sample meets specifications
QC CHECKS DURING RECIEPT contd • Samples(from top and bottom sample cock ) to be tested for Test A every 10 minutes for half an hour and there after hourly (FILM) • Repeat above in case of stoppage & resumption of pumping • Density variation to be +/- 3.0 • Two litres of retention samples during commencement , middle and end of discharge
QC CHECKS DURING RECIEPT contd • TMB sample to be drawn after min. 1 hour • In case of SKO , additionally flash point test on top sample to be carried out. • Composite sample of SKO to be retained for 3 months
QC CHECKS DURING RECIEPT contd • TMB samples to be taken from tanks accommodating interface and tested for density to ensure homogeneity
