General
A procedure exists for recruitment, training and appraisal of employees which ensures that
personnel performing work affecting product quality are competent on basis of appropriate
education/skills and experience/training.
6.2.2
At the recruitment stage, the education, skills and experience required for a position are listed
out. Recruitment can be done through one or more alternate sources and desirable
characteristics are confirmed through interviews and/or written tests prior to recruitment.
Employee performance is evaluated through annual appraisals where training needs are also
identified. Records are maintained in the employees file regarding all details pertaining to
qualification, experience, training, feedback and development.
Yearly budgets are finalized and allocated for training to be carried as identified through
appraisals and other means. Evaluation of the effectiveness of training is made at the
Management Review meetings. Awareness programmes are carried out at least once a year to
apprise all employees of the QMS and quality objectives. Technical awareness programmes
for skill up- gradation or for technology changes are carried out on a need basis.
6.3 Infrastructure
All infrastructure is provided on a planned basis by top management. An annual budget is
prepared (around September each year) which gives a detailed list of infrastructure planned
for the following year (January-December). The infrastructure budget includes all items viz.
hardware, software, buildings/work places and supporting services such as communication
etc. The budget mentions brief details of the infrastructure planned and its estimated value.
6. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Expenditure is broken down on a monthly basis to suit requirement as well as planned cash
flow.
The expenditure budget gets its input from the HODs and the C (F&A) and is prepared by the
C(F&A) in consultation with the MD. This budget is discussed by the MD at the next board
meeting and finalized in consultation with the other directors. The finalized budget is
available for reference with the MD and the C (F&A).
The infrastructure budget is monitored once a quarter at board meetings and updated as
necessary.
6.4 Work environment
BDPL has created a conducive work environment to suit the needs of its principle product i.e.
engineering designs. Suitable workstations with appropriate hardware and software are
provided depending on the work performed. This includes proper office set- up with
comfortable working conditions. Changes in work environment, if any, are discussed at
management review meetings.
Annual gatherings of employees (Employees Day) are used as a forum to get feedback on all
matters of concern to employees. Work environment issues are also addressed at such
gatherings. Suggestion boxes are maintained for additional employers feedback at all BDPL
offices.

This is compiled from one or more of the following depending on the nature of the project
Scope of work as defined in the contract agreement
Detailed questionnaires issued to the customer which are duly filled and returned by him
General arrangement and other drawings from customer/his consultant/his equipment
suppliers/his sub-contractors
Additional data may be obtained by meetings with any one or more of these parties
Meteorological, Topographical and Soil investigation data obtained from the customer or
any local/statutory authority, which is necessary for proper design.
All applicable national & international standards/codes.
Implied requirements based on experience of the organisation.
7.2.2
Contract review being an integral part of the commercial activity is adequately defined and
documented. These activities are organized under the marketing department. Project inquiries
are received either directly, through open tenders, advertisements and personal inquiries.
They are either in writing or verbal. The marketing department reviews capability to meet
requirements of customer. Based on the six monthly rolling plan, resource availability is also
checked prior to making of the offer.
Offers for new projects are prepared based on scope of work and services to be rendered (as
per the enquiry) by estimation of man-hours or number of drawings based on past experience.
The marketing department while preparing the estimates takes due assistance, if required,
from the various concerned departments, which are likely to participate, based on the scope
of work. The offers generally contain the following minimum information:
a) The scope of work and/or any other specific information required by the client for the
project and the scope of services to be rendered.
7. PRODUCT REALIZATION
Doc no.BD/QM/07/01
Rev: 01

b) Visit charges of Technical personnel to clients for any discussions or site visits. Also, day
to day site supervision charges in case of project supervision services.
c) Charges for engineering services are either on lump sum basis or on percentage of
estimated/actual cost of the project for the defined scope of work.
d) Terms of payments.
e) Other general terms & conditions.
File no. 103 (Offers) is maintained containing all projects with offers/correspondence for
preparation of the offer in a chronological order. This file is treated as confidential and is
accessible only to Managing Director, Marketing Advisor and senior staff up to level of Vice
President/Chief engineer
The contracts based on the offer and subsequent discussions/negotiations are either prepared
by BDPL or by the client covering all agreed terms and conditions and are filed in File No.
103 (Agreement) file in the chronological order.
In case of any change in scope of work or services, a discussion is initiated with client either
in writing or in form of meetings to revie w the contract.
Amendments from customers based on these discussions subsequent to the signing of the
contract are usually received in the form of a letter. Amendments from customers are
reviewed by MD/PC/HODs and observations are communicated to the client. If required,
meetings with the customer may be held to discuss any further revisions and the final
amendments due to the contract review are filed project-wise in the 103 (Agreement) file.
Records of all communication and correspondence with the customers are recorded
appropriately.
7.2.3
Customer communication
The Plan of Work, which is prepared for each project, details methodology of communication
with customer in respect of technical/commercial clarifications, receipt & submission of
information/drawings and general correspondence/faxes. For multidisciplinary projects, this
is first discussed and decided amongst participating departments along with Project
Coordinator. A separate procedure exists for dealing with customer feedback.
As far as possible, all customer communication will be through electronic media.
7.3 Design and development
7.3.1
For every project, a Project Coordinator is appointed who is responsible for the planning of
the design and drawing activity to meet the customers requirements. Adequately qualified
and experienced people are assigned to undertake design functions. The Project Coordinator,
in consultation with participating department heads, organises a team to execute the project.
7. PRODUCT REALIZATION
Doc no.BD/QM/07/01
Rev: 01
Page 3 of 7
The Project Coordinator draws up a detailed Plan of Work which includes all relevant data
regarding the project, designs, drawings, customer interfaces etc.
7.3.2
Design input is compiled from the agreement with the customer and information supplied by
the customer and his subcontractors/suppliers before proceeding with the design stage.
Design inputs and their adequacy are reviewed based on past experience and, if necessary,
resolved with the customer through meetings/dialogue. Applicable Statutory and regulatory
requirements are identified during input compilation. Basic design norms/guidelines are
documented after discussions with the customer before start of the design activity.
7.3.3
The design output information relating to the conformance of the design and drawing to the
specifications of the customer is contained in verifiable documents produced during the
course of the project. Details covered in the design output are specified in the design control
procedure. Design output is checked for adequacy before release.
7.3.4
Planned, structured and documented design reviews are conducted as part of any project.
Records are maintained.
7.3.5
Design verification is carried out by engineers of the relevant department and is coordinated
by the department head. Verification is done where appropriate at the end of each stage and
on completion to ensure that the design output meets the design input.
Details of design verification are recorded.
7.3.6
Since the "product" of BDPL is the design itself, the output may be in the form of Designs
and/or Drawings. These designs/drawings, after due verification as above are "released for
construction" either in whole or in clearly stated parts. It is not possible to prepare
"prototypes" for validation as in other types of designs. The validation of the design
manifests itself in the proper operation of the Structure and/or system, which has been
designed. Hence this sub-clause is not considered applicable as described in ISO 9001:2000
Details of any approvals, which are contractually required, are obtained and retained.
The persons responsible for design review, verification, and the stage/s at which they are
carried out is given in the Plan of work and the design control procedure
7. PRODUCT REALIZATION
7.3.7
Doc no.BD/QM/07/01
Rev: 01
Page 4 of 7
Any changes or modifications affecting the design from verification processes or due to
feedback from the customer are documented and subjected to appropriate verification,
authorization and subsequent review, if necessary. Only authorized persons perform this
activity
7.4 Purchasing
7.4.1
Purchasing process
It is always ensured that the purchased products conform to the specified requirements. The
methods adopted are as follows:
Evaluation of suppliers
Purchasing to detailed purchase specifications
Inspection of the incoming material
Wherever BDPL decides to offer services along with another consultant/s (Associate
Consultant/s) the Managing Director initiates and finalizes such terms and conditions as may
be necessary for proper execution of any contract arising out of such association.
A procedure to evaluate suppliers is in place.
7.4.2
Purchasing information
Purchasing documents (indents / Purchase orders) contain data clearly describing the product
ordered and are approved before release. Necessary purchase specifications exist for the
control of quality of the product supplied by the supplier. Wherever specifications do not
exist, product is purchased with reference to standard specifications available in the market.
These are also used as specifications for incoming inspection, in certain cases. The technical
and quality requirements are laid down in these specifications.
All purchasing data as well as the purchase orders are reviewed carefully and approved
before release. Subsequent to its release, if required, the Purchase order can be amended by
the same process i.e. raising of indent, approval and release of Purchase Order mentioning
therein that it is an amendment to the earlier one issued.
7.4.3
Currently, purchased products are verified at BDPL's premises. If the incoming material is to
be verified at the supplier's premises, the purchase order will mention this clearly so that it is
7. PRODUCT REALIZATION
Doc no.BD/QM/07/01
Rev: 01
Page 5 of 7
communicated to the sub-contractor well in advance. BDPL's customers are not required to
inspect purchased products at the supplier's premises.
7.5 Production and service planning
7.5.1
Execution of all projects are pre-planned and scheduled as per the plan of work. The Project
Coordinator in consultation with the Department heads makes project plans. The accuracy for
meeting the project plans is monitored by the Managing Director.
All project activities are carried out under controlled conditions. Appropriate control systems
are used to monitor the progress of the works, which are carried out by trained, and skilled
manpower that work under documented instructions.
Compliance to reference standards/codes, approved software, quality plans and/or
documented procedures is ensured. Care is taken to provide suitable working environment,
which includes an orderly and proper housekeeping.
All critical project parameters/design norms & data are identified and due care is taken to
monitor them continuously. Records of monitoring are maintained in identified formats in the
form of reports.
Due to the nature of the product, post delivery activity (viz. servicing etc.) is not necessary
7.5.2
Since the "product" of BDPL is the design itself, the output may be in the form of Designs
and/or Drawings. These designs/drawings, after due verification- usually through at least two
levels- are "released for construction" either in whole or in clearly stated parts. The validation
of the design manifests itself in the proper operation of the Structure and/or system, which
has been designed.
The integrity of the designs are ensured by the following
The collective experience of the organization which is brought into play
Proper selection of persons responsible for design review, verification based on their
qualifications and experience as well as the criticality of the design
Well defined stage/s at which design verifications are carried out and recorded
A detailed design procedure which clearly outlines the requirements
7.5.3
Each project, before starting is allocated a project number. All the outgoing drawings, design
sheets, correspondence state the project number. Each outgoing drawing has a drawing
number and the project number written on it. The system of drawing numbering for different
structures is mentioned in the plan of work. Alternately, drawings are numbered as per client
7. PRODUCT REALIZATION
Doc no.BD/QM/07/01

Page 6 of 7
requirements. The drawings also contain the revision number, which gives the number of
amendments made.
All incoming and outgoing drawings are registered electronically and a daily back-up taken
and secured on a common server.
Any change in the design or drawing sheets is marked on the document itself along with
change in the revision number.
In case of necessity or for reference the drawings or design sheets can be traced back with the
help of the project number and the drawing number. Positive recall is possible. Documented
procedures exist for unique identification of individual projects and drawings/design sheets &
related matters.
7.5.4
Customer property
There is no customer-supplied product which goes into the output i.e. designs and drawings.
The customer gives some inputs in the form of drawings, data and investigation/site reports
which are necessary inputs for the design stage. The customer gives only copies of these
drawings/data/reports, which do not have to be necessarily returned. These inputs are treated
as documents of external origin and are controlled as per procedure for Document and Data
Control. The procedure on Housekeeping includes details of electronic registering of input
data for permanent records. During design stage all customer supplied intellectual property is
kept confidential unless otherwise agreed to with customer. At the end of the project, if
required by customer, drawings etc. are returned to him and acknowledgement obtained.
Alternately, these are destroyed or maint ained as part of the job closure.
7.5.5
Preservation of product
All the stages of a project have equal importance in handling of the materials in order to
prevent loss by wastage, damages and mix- up.
Appropriate storage conditions are duly maintained. Storage areas for all correspondence,
documents, design sheets and drawings are properly marked and identified. Every project has
file(s) where all the correspondences are stored. All the design and drawing sheets are
adequately stored and are the responsibility of the concerned engineers or CAD Operator
during the execution of the project. At the job closure, necessary documents are collected and
maintained in the central library/storage or any other convenient designated place.
The storage of electronic documents is maintained on the Network server with the help of a
proper networking system. For delivery of the electronic document to clients, the network is
connected to an exchange server with FTP storage/transfer facility, which forwards the
electronic data/documents by e- mail or other "web" enabled means. The details are worked
out based on the latest developments in communication technology and the same are
updated/maintained in the form of work instruction in the Network Manual.
7. PRODUCT REALIZATION
Doc no.BD/QM/07/01
Rev: 01
Page 7 of 7
The backup of all the electronic data on the server is taken daily and two copies are being
maintained i.e. one inside the office premises and one outside the premises at designated
location, from safety considerations. At the end of the job, the final backup is taken on CDROM and is stored in library as per job closure procedure.
The central library also maintains one copy of all codes and standards, which are required by
BDPL for its operations/reference. In addition technical and other journals, books and other
reference material are kept at the central library. Periodically these are reviewed and new
literature is added to upgrade the library. Procedures exist for withdrawal/return of any
available material in the central library.
7.6 Control of monitoring and measuring devices
Inspection and testing is carried out on the designs and drawings by experienced personnel
and so identified in Plan of Work.
Hardware such as, drafters, plotters, computers etc. are inspected on receipt and maintained
regularly during use. Computer software used for drafting is tested before installation and
periodically checked for virus etc. Design software (wherever required) is validated.
The performance of the personnel carrying out these activities is appraised periodically as per
a set standard and records are maintained. Wherever necessary, corrective actions are taken
through appropriate training and/or counselling to improve performance to meet desired
norms. Wherever the results of the appraisal show substantial variation from the last result,
the previous data is rechecked for validity.

8.1 General
The organization plans and implements monitoring, measurement, analysis and improvement
of the processes needed to demonstrate conformity of the product and QMS through the
following:
Monthly reports
Review meetings (MRM, PRM & ORM)
Internal Quality Audits
Corrective and preventive actions
Statistical analysis
Customer satisfaction
BDPL has a procedure in place to monitor customer satisfaction and deal with it effectively.
Measurement and analysis of customer feedback is one important indicator of customer
satisfaction. Repeat orders are another indication of customer satisfaction. During the course
of each new project, BDPL uses proactive methods to get customer feedback
8.2.2
Internal audit
Internal audits are planned and scheduled on the basis of the status and importance of the
activity being audited. Trained and qualified internal auditors carry out audits. A procedure
for planning and conducting internal quality audits exists. The audits assignments and plans
are such that the auditors are independent of the area being audited.
The results of the audits are recorded along with root cause and brought to the attention of the
auditee who in turn takes timely corrective and preventive action/s. Follow up audits, where
required, verify and record the implementation and effectiveness of the corrective action
taken. The system for audits and follow up audits has the support of the top management to
ensure that the corrective and preventive actions are incorporated within the committed dates
and are effective.
Audit reports and results are reviewed by the top management in the Management review
meetings in order to assess whether quality objectives comply with the quality activities and
related results. In addition, after each audit a meeting of all auditors/auditees is held to review
the results of the audit and discuss any systemic problems that are identified.
8.2.3
Regular and pre-planned reviews (MRM, PRM & ORM) monitor and measure various
parameters showing the effectiveness of the QMS. Wherever appropriate, suitable corrective
actions are taken to ensure conformance. These actions are monitored for effectiveness.
Doc no.BD/QM/08/01
Rev: 03
Page 2 of 4
In all such cases the revisions are made on the tracings themselves and/or on the electronic
media and the revision number is incremented by one. Details of revisions are marked on the
tracing and fresh prints are taken after due checking and verification. Old prints are either
destroyed or marked as SUPERSEDED wherever it is necessary to maintain them for
records/reference.
Any problems arising due to delay at the designing or drawing stage, submission of site
reports, etc. are dealt with by the Procedure for Corrective and Preventive action as well as
Procedure for Project Planning & Scheduling.
8.4 Analysis of data
Due to the nature of the operations, direct statistical techniques are difficult to design for
analysing problem areas and quality. Therefore the following areas have been identified as
main contributors to improvement of quality:
Customer feedback
Timely completion of design documentation/project execution
Number of man-hours/drawings - actual vs. estimates & revisions
Training programs planned, executed and feedback thereon
Doc no.BD/QM/08/01
Rev: 03
Page 3 of 4
Cost analysis
Repeat orders from clients
Procedures have been documented and are available to implement and control the application
of statistical techniques in the above areas.
8.5 Improvement
8.5.1
Continual improvement
The overall quality system has its foundation on the principle of continuous monitoring and
feedback in all the areas. Procedures exist for taking corrective actions whenever there is a
problem. Similarly preventive actions are identified, if required, through these procedures.
The procedure addresses the systematic method of analysing all inputs, identifying potential
causes and solutions and initiating corrective and preventive actions for ensuring its nonoccurrence in future depending on the nature of the problem and its attendant risks.
Incoming documents are addressed to the dealing person/persons. This system ensures that
the person/s responsible for execution of the job get the information directly.
BDPL's Quality Policy and objectives stress the need for continual improvement. The
implementation of this is monitored through review meetings, statistical techniques, internal
quality audits and corrective and preventive actions.
8.5.2
Corrective action
A Procedure exists for registering, processing, investigating, analysing and coming out with
corrective actions.
Corrective actions are taken for handling customer complaints, Quality Events / Incidents and
system non-conformities identified during audits. For non-conformities, root cause/s are
identified and actions taken to prevent reoccurrence.
Management Reviews are carried out to monitor the effectiveness of these corrective
activities.
8.5.3
Preventive action
Preventive actions are identified through various means viz. Internal Quality Audits,
Statistical techniques, Management review meetings, Project review meetings and Operations
review meetings. Various procedures exist for carrying out preventive actions.
Need based training is one of the measures used to carry out preventive action to improve
performance and product quality. Training needs are usually identified through appraisals and
other feedback.
Doc no.BD/QM/08/01
Rev: 03
Page 4 of 4
Preventive actions are taken as per the nature of problem. Steps are taken to deal with any
problem and the review of their effectiveness is carried out in the Management review
meetings.
The relevant information on actions taken is discussed in Management Review meetings.
The problems arising and the corrective and preventive actions taken will be studied along
with root cause, and trend analysis done if required, as per the Procedure for Statistical
Techniques. The trend analysis itself provides further feedback for preventive actions.
