Bamboo rising to the skyExpansion at Odfjell Terminals (Korea)By Sang Ki Lee, Maintenance Manager and Project Manager, OTKThe expansion atOdfjell Terminals(Korea) is underfull construction,and new tanks aregrowing up almostlike bambooshoots. During theperiod from end ofJune till early Augustwe had very unfavourable weatherconditions in Korea. Heavy rainfall forweeks obstructed our contractor DEC(Daewoo Engineering Company) towork with heavy machines in the mud.The rain was followed by extremelyhot temperatures, daily round 36-39˚C.During tank erection work, the steelaccumulated the solar energy to causetemperatures round 50˚C inside the halfconstructedtanks. To protect the constructionworkers against over-heatingwe implemented tropical work schedules(05:00 am - 3:00 pm) and regular“shower breaks” after 40 minutes work.In addition we rescheduled some itemsin our master plan and relocated part ofthe workforce to tasks such as concretework for buildings and pipe-racks.Despite the obstacles we have so faronly had a ten days delay of the wholeconstruction project, which should bepossible to catch up before the end ofthis year.PIT 8, with five tanksIntegrating New Pipeline Systems into the existing truckloading area with 14 racks39˚C - it’s hot but still going strong.

The process concept inquality managementBy Jan Didrik LorentzInput is convertedinto results by useof resources. Wedo it all the time,and in qualitymanagement wecall it a process. Bylooking upon ourwork as a networkof processes we carry out to achieveour common goals, we can get a betterunderstanding of interaction betweeninput, resources and results. In Odfjellit is a corporate quality managementrequirement that all units shall knowtheir own processes and consider howthey interact with others.Critical and vital processes shall be controlled.The work must be planned andfollow procedures, which we shall findin the Quality Management SystemDocument types in the QMS:CHC - checklistFOR - formJOB - job descriptionPRI - principlePRO - procedureREF - reference documentREG - regulation(QMS). Adequate resources must be allocated,which is a management task.The result must be checked for compliancewith expectations or specification.Possible deviations shall be correctedand improvements made to ensure futurecompliance.Odfjell’s Quality Management Systemdefines our methods to ensure thatstated objectives are achieved. It is welldocumented and easily found on ourIntranet (DocMap). Each document maybe searched by simple browsing techniques.Odfjell has chosen to also tagdocuments with process and manual. Amanual consists of documents that wenormally associate with a working field,e.g. chartering or it may be a mandatoryrequirement, e.g. Vessel ResponsePlan (VRP), ref. OPA 90.Manual types in the QMS:Corporate Management ManualBusiness units and staff manualsProcess manuals“Site” administration manualsCORPORATE QUALITYMANAGEMENT MANUALTable of ContentsDefinitionsIntroduction2006 Q2Mission and PoliciesOrganizational structuresResponsibilities2006 Q4Human Resource Management 2007 Q2Common DirectivesProcesses and elements ofQuality Management2007 Q3Quality Management SystemQuality Assurance and Improvement 2006 Q3Event AnalysisHSE Management2007 Q1Risk ManagementThis was a processDid you recognize that reading this wasa process?
