COMPLAINT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The solution is meant for the Customer that have vast geographical expanse and operational diversity, facing challenges in standardizing and managing external customer complaints. This study explores the design and implementation of a comprehensive web system leveraging Microsoft’s Power Platform and SharePoint Online.
The goal is to streamline complaint registration, ensure timely response, provide global oversight, and automate reporting functionalities.
Overview
Parallel Minds developed an Equipment Inspection app as part of their OGEMS (Oil & Gas Enterprise Mobile Solutions Suite) to address the challenges faced by service engineers during equipment inspections. This case study explores the impact of the Equipment Inspection app and its benefits for service engineers, focusing on the pre-state challenges, post-state improvements, and key metrics.
Challenge
Before the implementation of the Equipment Inspection app, service engineers faced several challenges during equipment inspections, including:
- Manual Inspection Process: Inspections were conducted manually, involving paper-based checklists and handwritten notes. This manual process was time-consuming, prone to errors, and lacked standardization across inspections.
- Limited Access to Inspection Configurations: Engineers had limited access to the latest inspection configurations, making it difficult to ensure that inspections were performed according to the most up-to-date standards and guidelines.
- Inefficient Reporting and Communication: The reporting process was cumbersome, involving manual compilation of inspection data, and communication with stakeholders was often delayed or inefficient.
EQUIPMENT INSPECTION APP
The Equipment Inspection app introduced the following features to streamline the equipment inspection process and enhance efficiency for service engineers:
- Equipment Selection and Step-by-Step Wizard: The app allowed the inspection engineer to select the equipment to be inspected and presented a step-by-step wizard to guide them through the inspection process. This ensured a structured and standardized approach to inspections.
- Cloud-based Inspection Configurations: Engineers could download the latest inspection configurations from the cloud, ensuring that inspections were conducted according to the most up-to-date standards and guidelines. This eliminated the need for manual updates and improved inspectio
- Multimedia Capture and Notes: The app enabled engineers to capture pictures, videos, and add notes and observations during the inspection process. This facilitated comprehensive documentation and improved the accuracy of the inspection report.
- Well-Formatted Inspection Report: The app generated a well-formatted inspection report based on the captured data, including multimedia files, notes, and observations. The report was organized and presented in a standardized format, improving clarity and ease of understanding.
- Cloud-based Storage and Notifications: The inspection report was pushed to the cloud, ensuring secure storage and easy access for stakeholders. Additionally, notifications were sent to all relevant stakeholders, keeping them informed about the inspection status and findings in real-time.
Solution
The implementation of the Equipment Inspection app within the OGEMS suite resulted in significant improvements for service engineers, including:
- Increased Efficiency: The app streamlined the inspection process by providing a step-by-step wizard, standardized checklists, and cloud-based access to the latest inspection configurations. This reduced the time required to conduct inspections and improved overall efficiency.
- Enhanced Accuracy and Consistency: The app eliminated manual errors and inconsistencies by providing standardized checklists and multimedia capture capabilities. This ensured accurate and comprehensive inspection data, leading to better decision-making regarding equipment maintenance, repairs, or replacement.
- Improved Reporting and Communication: The app automated the generation of well-formatted inspection reports, eliminating the need for manual compilation. The cloud-based storage facilitated easy access to inspection reports for stakeholders, improving communication and enabling faster decision-making.
- Real-time Notifications: The app’s notification feature kept stakeholders informed about inspection progress and findings in real-time. This facilitated timely actions and collaboration among stakeholders, enhancing overall operational effectiveness.
Results
The implementation of the Equipment Inspection app resulted in several key metrics improvements, including:
- Inspection Time: The app reduced inspection time by providing a structured approach, standardized checklists, and easy access to inspection configurations. This led to faster completion of inspections and increased the number of inspections conducted per unit of time.
- Accuracy of Inspection Reports: The app’s multimedia capture and standardized reporting format improved the accuracy and comprehensiveness of inspection reports. This led to a reduction in errors and inconsistencies in reporting, enhancing the quality of data used for decision-making.
- Response Time: The real-time notifications and cloud-based storage of inspection reports reduced the response time for stakeholders. This enabled faster actions, timely maintenance or repairs, and improved overall equipment performance.
Conclusion
The implementation of the Equipment Inspection app within the OGEMS suite by Parallel Minds has revolutionized the equipment inspection process for service engineers. By streamlining the inspection process, providing access to the latest inspection configurations, and automating reporting and communication, the app has significantly improved efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration.
The Equipment Inspection app has become an essential tool for service engineers, empowering them to conduct inspections effectively, generate standardized reports, and facilitate timely decision-making for equipment maintenance and optimization.
