Cost savings of billions of Vietnam dong in quality control work
Every year, enterprises manufacturing steel structures and pressure equipment spend a lot of money on NDT services. It can be estimated from a few hundred million to billions of Vietnam dong depending on the different large-small projects for these services.
Surely, your business also considers many times to choose a service unit that is cheap and still ensures your customers accept it. This is the problem that your business always bargains with these service companies.
Have you ever carefully reviewed the portfolios of those companies? The nature of NDT service is dependent on the capacity of the person to do it. In machinery, equipment and materials, we can invest and calculate depreciation and expense for it and it's just a simple economic problem, anyone can do it.
Human capacity working in NDT today, in the plural, service companies in Vietnam mostly self-certify their employees' competence, also known as internal certification according to the SNT-TC-1A guidance document of the American Society for Non-Destructive Testing (ASNT), it is important to note that it is a guideline document and not a standard, normative or mandatory code.
However, the SNT-TC-1A document is an advantage for businesses that know how to take advantage of it to save a significant amount of money without paying for poor quality services.
Why don't you do it yourself! With the quality control staff that your business is paying monthly salary, you can increase your capacity, improve your sense of responsibility, give them more training in RMB, pay them more money for remuneration according to the work, you will see its effectiveness.
Put your pen to calculate the cost!
- Initial investments are too small: Training NDT staff, building a training system according to SNT-TC-1A documents for your business, hiring NDT Level 3, etc.
- An invisible benefit that many of you know but have not done is to control your own internal quality, improve the quality of your workers' skills yourself. "The old people have a saying: if you are bad, close the door and tell each other." That's the benefit!
You start with simple NDT methods such as visual inspection (VT), liquid penetration test (PT), magnetic test (MT)
You are also advised that the SNT-TC-1A document is only applicable to American standards such as ASTM, AWS, ASME. When you use these standards to apply to export projects, you need professionalism and professionalism from people to systems. At that time, you need a level 3 NDT, according to your needs, side by side, systematically review and advise you.
Today, many international works, projects and products are manufactured in Vietnam and more proud, many Vietnamese enterprises also reach out to the "Big Sea" to sell and install abroad. Therefore, part of the quality control personnel also needs to be certified NDT according to international standards such as ISO 9712.
In Vietnam today, NDT personnel get ISO 9712 certification from organizations such as BINDT, TWI and some other organizations. Service businesses have to spend a huge amount of money on their employees, in addition, there is a significant barrier that is English language for those who do the job.
To meet that need, NDT professionals will have an option of certification under the PNIC 9712 program operated by the NDT Certification & Industrial Inspection Center (PNIC for short), established by PHATECO Company. . The program is designed in accordance with ISO 9712, meets the SNT-TC-1A document, and conforms to the Employer Document of Intent contained within the certification scope of the PNIC 9712 Certification Program.
