Standard Operating Procedure for Staging Process

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Staging Process

• The SOP outlines procedures for receiving, staging, and preparing panels for the logistic department.
• Panels are received only if serviceable with relevant paperwork.
• Daily panel deliveries, except for urgent/critical cases, occur twice (morning and evening) during working hours.
• Staging personnel ensure sufficient space before receiving panels from Final Inspection.

Staging Process Procedure

• Staging receives serviceable panels with paperwork from Final Inspection, stored in a regulator.
• Final Inspection delivers panels twice daily (morning and evening), before and after work ends, excluding urgent critical cases.
• Ensure sufficient space at the Staging area before final inspection hand over the panels.

Working Tools and PPE

• Working Tools: Glue heat gun, strapping machine, etc.
• PPE: Gloves, safety shoes, safety belt, safety goggles, safety helmet.
• The document lists various tools and personal protective equipment (PPE) necessary for the staging process.

Packaging Process

• Verify panel and paperwork consistency (part number, description, CSN).
• Visually inspect panel condition on and the condition of the regulator.
• Arrange the regulator according to project packaging or in designated spots (pigeonholes) ensuring safe panel storage.
• Employees are prohibited from accepting potentially faulty panels.
• Received panels should be stored in a closed area.

Selecting Process

• Team Leaders determine panels for packaging, prioritising First-In, First-Out (FIFO).
• Daily panel data is sourced from the QAD system for packaging/delivery selection, based on FIFO.
• Panels selected might be from incomplete buffers, existing pigeonholes, or new arrivals from Final Inspection.
• Panels stored over 6 months need inspection for conditions like dirt, dust, fungus, damage, or foreign object debris (FOD).
• Issues reported to engineers for resolution.

Packaging Checklist

• QR codes initiate electronic packaging checklists.
• The checklist verifies panel data (part number, description, CSN number).
• Visual checks ensure no dirt, dust, fungus, damage, or foreign objects.
• Panels are cleaned according to standards (normal/black panels).
• The authorised operator approves the cleaned panels.
• Panels are wrapped/packed as per project package specifications (per SOP08-017).

Packaging and Buffer Process

• Employees use QR codes to generate digital packaging checklists.
• The checklist verifies pre-defined criteria (part numbers, conditions).
• Employees clean panels, following procedures for standard/black panels.
• Authorized operators verify the cleanliness.
• Panels are wrapped/packed per project package SOPs.

Paperwork Process and CofC (Certificate of Conformance)

• Paperwork, identified by SSN number, is collected and processed by the relevant documentation team.
• CofC (Certificates of Conformance) are obtained electronically from the Quality Department and printed.
• CofCs are inserted inside each delivery box per project specifications.

Strapping Boxes and Shipment Checklist

• Boxes are strapped using company-provided equipment (strapping machine, tape).
• Employee checks for external box condition (no visible dirt, damage, or foreign objects).
• Employees use the digital shipment checklist to complete documentation, conforming to SOP08-040.

e-MTR Booking System

• Employees book forklift services for loading/unloading goods via the e-MTR system.
• Details like pick-up date/time, collection/unloading point, and item descriptions are necessary inputs for booking.
• Forklift operators load/unload boxes following e-MTR instructions.

Shipment Checklist

• Transport staff completes the online Shipment Checklist, transferring data from Staging and passing to Forwarders.
• Forwarders provide details of the shipment and submit through the system.
