1 Introduction
Novezo Consulting Private Limited is a highly accurate and reliable unit for measurement of energy. These are
specially designed to suit customer requirements for metering in single- phase two wire distribution systems
for Domestic & Agricultural applications as per IS13779 standards.

2 Scope
The Quality Plan describes the guidelines, and procedures covering Material Procurement, Inward Inspection,
In-Process Inspection, Final Inspection and Environmental Tests to evaluateperformance under conditions of
usage and storage. All other practices are as per Quality System Manual of Instruments & Systems Division
(ISD). This Quality Plan is intended for accepting the Meters after Final Inspection and clearing them for
packing.

4 Quality Policy
It is stated as “To strive for total Customer Satisfaction and sustained business growth through continual
improvement in all products and services”.

5 Quality Objective
• To ensure the right quality at input stage.

• To reduce defects rate at different processes.

• To deliver the Meters in time.

• To achieve high customer satisfaction level.

• Customer Related Processes

• All the customer-related processes are conducted. The purpose of it is.

o To review the requirements related to Meters prior to the commitment to supply product to end
customers.

o To ensure that the division has the capability to meet the contractual requirements.

o All customer complaints are responded promptly.

6 Material Procurement
All the materials required for production of Meters are procured and controlled in order that the purchased material
satisfy the needs and requirements of the customer.

Materials include raw materials, components and sub-contracted parts required for production. The procedures to be
adopted for procurement including sub-contracting inspection of all the materials and components are briefed as below.

3
 [Title]

All purchases shall be made from registered suppliers.

Suppliers are assessed through survey and during techno-commercial negotiations before placing purchase orders.

For critical or costly or bulk items, Purchase Order shall be placed on two or more suppliers to generate spirit of
competition and ensure timely supply of quality materials.

The purchased or sub-contracted supplies conform to specifications and requirements mentioned in Purchase Order.

Only accepted materials shall be issued for production.

The points of procurement control are:

✓ Indents

✓ Placement of orders

✓ Inward Inspection

✓ Storage of materials

✓ Issue of materials from stores.

✓ Control of Non-conforming material

✓ Supplier’s performance review and feedback.

7 Inward Inspection
All the material coming to stores will be inspected for their characteristics. The purpose is to monitor and measure the
characteristics of the product to verify that productrequirements have been met.

On receipt of the materials, the stores shall carry out the verification of part number and physicalcondition of the parts
against the purchase order.

In-charge, Inward Inspection shall then arrange for inspection of materials as per Inward Inspection Plan mentioned in Cl.
No.9.

The Inspection covers the following basic requirements:

✓ Visual Inspection

✓ Dimensional / Mating characteristics

✓ Functional / Value checks

✓ Verification of test certificates supplied by suppliers, where applicable.

✓ The Inspector shall prepare and record the results of all inspections and tests conducted on incoming material.

✓ The accepted materials and components shall be carefully handled and stored at designated locations in stores.
Wherever possible, the materials shall be stored in their original packages.

✓ The rejected material, duly tagged, shall be stored in an earmarked / identified area away fromthe accepted
material to avoid mix-up.

✓ In-charge, Inward Inspection, shall communicate material rejections immediately to the purchase department
through an inspection report. The purchase department shall communicate rejections immediately to the
supplier for affecting preventive / corrective measures and or replacements.

✓ Inspection shall be conducted of all components. When the materials are received in morethan one lot, the
quantity supplied against each ISR/CSRV shall be treated as a lot.
