Engineering Marvel Meets Advanced Electrical Safety

Introduction

Adani Power Maharashtra Limited (APML Tiroda) operates a prominent power plant in Tiroda, Maharashtra, where the relentless hum of machinery coexists with the ever-present threat of operational disruptions. Vibrations and card failures had emerged as persistent challenges, casting a shadow over the plant’s reliability and safety.

Challenge

The scourge of vibrations and card failures posed significant risks to APML Tiroda’s operations:

 

  • Vibrations threatened to disrupt machinery, leading to potential delays and decreased productivity.
  • Card failures compromised the reliability of critical systems, risking safety hazards and regulatory non-compliance.
  • The loss of important data stored on electronic devices further compounded operational challenges.

Solution

Determined to unearth the root causes of these challenges, APML Tiroda enlisted the expertise of Manav, renowned for its analytical skills and problem-solving prowess. Leveraging its Comprehensive Electrical Solution Framework (CESF), Manav embarked on a journey of discovery, employing Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to unravel the mysteries hidden within the plant’s machinery.

 

  • Root Cause Identification:

Manav’s RCA process employed industry-leading methodologies, including the 5-Why technique, guided by the principles of CESF. Each “why” led to deeper insights, guiding the investigation toward a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by APML Tiroda.

  • Corrective Action:

Armed with insights from RCA and CESF, Manav recommended a series of corrective actions tailored to address the root causes of vibrations and card failures. From targeted component replacements to design optimizations and process improvements, each recommendation was aimed at fortifying the plant’s systems against future disruptions.

  • Performance Optimization:

Beyond mere diagnosis and treatment, Manav’s intervention catalyzed a journey toward optimization. Insights gleaned from RCA and CESF became the cornerstone of a continuous improvement initiative, where systems were fine-tuned, efficiencies unlocked, and reliability fortified. Through a commitment to excellence and innovation, Manav breathed new life into APML Tiroda’s operations, ushering in an era of enhanced reliability and resilience.

Achievement

In the realm of industrial operations, where every moment counts and every decision carries weight, the integration of CESF into Root Cause Analysis is a powerful tool for transformation. With Manav’s expertise guiding the way, APML Tiroda emerged stronger and more resilient, ready to navigate the challenges of tomorrow with confidence and clarity.
