Project Description
Camco Engineering was contacted by a large multinational Subsea Service Supplier to provide emergency manufacturing support over a weekend. The speed in which the manufacture was to take place provided challenges to Camco operational staff, project managers and Camco’s suppliers.
Problem
Manufacture 25 umbilical clamps by Tuesday from an order placed at 5.00 pm on a Friday afternoon. Find suitable materials to manufacture components from after hours, source staff to swell the weekend team’s numbers and provide full QA certification for products manufactured in an extreme time frame.
Solution
Camco Engineering’s strong supplier relationship built on trust and integrity provided the opportunity for afterhour’s access to raw materials. Machine shop equipment was then reassigned to provide access to machining centers suitable to the manufacturing process. Staff were requested to provide 24 hour coverage over the weekend in 12 hour shifts until the completion of the umbilical clamps.
Outcome
Working as a team in conjunction with our suppliers, engineering staff, Camco management and its operations team, it was possible to deliver 25 umbilical clamps in an unprecedented manufacturing period allowing our customer to meet their deliverables.
