Wind energy facts worldwide new installed capacity p.a. Worldwide [MW] Installations are growing on a high level Installations are performed worldwide Installed capacity cumulated 238351 MW Source: Bundesverband Windenergie e.v. http://www.wind-energie.de/
Implications of the global business Global installations Make or buy? Global or local supply? Boundary conditions for supply chain decisions - Market consolidation - Big cost pressure - Limit of investments vs. local content requirements - Big component big shipping cost vs. build up multiple factories - Second source policy
Wind in the TCQ triangle x time Situation of wind energy supply chain - New and unqualified sub-suppliers in local market - Minimum quality staff at suppliers - Systematic quality approach not yet everywhere implemented in supply chain - Repair and rework on daily basis due to non stable processes - End user require integrated quality approach in their projects cost quality
Systematic quality approach What do YOU think is quality? Quality is safe operation Quality is durability Quality is environmental friendliness Quality is high performance Quality is a nice look
Systematic quality approach Quality is fulfillment of all defined requirements Quality is safe operation Quality is durability Quality is environmental friendliness Quality is high performance Quality is a nice look
An ISO 9001 quality approach is a minimum requirement. Formal requirements to component manufacturers and sub-suppliers - ISO9001 quality certified - Certified welding workshop - GL composite workshop approval - Qualified bonding workshop Quality system evaluation i.e. procedures, test plan Workshop evaluation i.e. equipment Staff evaluation i.e. qualification, numbers Principles of ISO 9001 quality management system 1. Customer focus 2. Leadership 3. Involvement of people 4. Process approach 5. System approach to management 6. Continual improvement 7. Factual approach to decision making 8. Mutually beneficial supplier relationships
Certification over quality? ISO 9001 certification just for the certificate And still it happens. ISO9001 certification needs a solid foundation of people, equipment and know how
Certification and what can be done beyond. workshop approval ISO9001 certification Composite workshop certification Welding workshop certification Quality methods Lean manufacturing Project quality support APQP Gap analysis for workshop approval Risk assessment HSE Risk assessment tools & equipment Design assessment product and production process Quality system setup Test & inspection In process inspection Non destructive testing Finished goods approval Expediting
Before certification: typical supplier qualification Supplier preassessment Technical Quality system Financial Technical review Fit for purpose Quality audit VDA 6.3 Manufacturing inspection Detail risk assessment Manufacturing processes Quality control Health, safety and environment Risk mitigation Enabling quality control Enabling healthy operations Supplier post audit Measure control Qualified supplier Sustainable quality Security of supply
Beyond certification: Project quality approach with APQP Product design phase Product implementation phase Product serial production Identification of Customers requirements Critical to quality items Test and inspection plan Advanced Product Quality Planning aims for transparency and continuous monitoring of critical product items
Summary: wind energy global supply chain. Certification and what can be done beyond Wind energy s supply chain is fast growing and global Cost and time pressure often compromise quality Diligent supplier qualification is first step ISO 9001:2000 certification is minimum requirement To achieve sustainable quality, various accompanying methods shall be used
