SGS Provides Vale S.A. with Comprehensive Services in China
Posted: 2014-8-24
SGS was awarded a contract to provide comprehensive expediting, inspection
and training services for Vale S.A. Based on its extensive experience and
expertise, SGS is overseeing the sourcing, production and delivery of a conveyor
belt, stacker, reclaimer and steel structure from China.
Vale S.A., the diversified metals and mining corporation as well as one of the
largest logistics operators in Brazil, has worked with SGS to complete two major
projects recently. As a result of their successful partnership, Vale selected SGS
once again, drawing on their experience of the region, comprehensive inspection
and expediting expertise, network of testing laboratories across China and
extensive training experience.
SGS has provided a team of 45 highly trained experts, who are managing and
supervising the quality of the services delivered to Vale, as part of this latest
project.
SGS Suppliers Evaluation
Drawing on its unrivaled experience assessing the quality of manufacturers in
the region, gained during numerous projects for machinery, steel structures,
piping, pressure vessels, fittings, casting, forgings, rotary equipment, electrical
and instruments, SGS will assist Vale with the selection and evaluation of
appropriate suppliers from China.
The results will enable Vale to make an informed selection, considering the
candidates’ strengths and the potential risks. This will also allow for
countermeasures to be identified at the quotation and contract stage to help Vale
to minimize quality and delivery risks during the project.
SGS Inspection and Expediting Services
SGS will provide inspection and expediting activities during the manufacturing
and the supply of the conveyor belt and stacker once Vale has selected the
appropriate candidate. In addition, during the supply of the steel structure, SGS
will also supply inspection and expediting, pre-assembling check, quality control
and quantity surveys.
SGS Industrial Services has inspectors across 16 major cities across China,
including Shanghai, Beijing, Dalian, Tianjin, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chengdu,
Chongqing, Nanjing, Ningbo, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Wenzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou
and Guangzhou. This allows the company to assign inspectors close to the
production bases and carry out inspections on site, saving traveling time and
cost. Plus, local communication between SGS local staff and the manufacturers
enables close and effective monitoring of all activities.
One of the most challenging issues for sourcing in China is the quality of raw
materials. Due to the fact that SGS has local material testing laboratories located
in 13 cities across China, including Guangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou,
Nanjing, Tianjin, Wuhan, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Yantai, Dalian and Ningbo,
the company can provide independent precise materials testing with fast
turnaround times, according to international standards.
SGS Training Services
SGS will help manufacturers to upgrade their knowledge to enable them to meet
Vale’s requirements during production. With their in-depth expertise, the SGS
inspection engineers can assist manufacturers in China to overcome major
obstacles, such as understanding international standards, and technical
specifications supplied by international companies.
SGS China has also established the world-class Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
training center in Shanghai, providing independent NDT tests, as well as training
for the manufacturers’ NDT engineers in order to upgrade their knowledge,
capabilities and qualifications.
Having previously engaged SGS expertise, this new contract endorses the
company’s reputation for quality, excellence and consistency.
SGS is the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification
company. SGS is recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity.
With more than 80,000 employees, SGS operates a network of over 1,650 offices
and laboratories around the world.
