Nabeel Javaid

My name is Nabeel Javaid, a Quality Assurance (QA) Inspector at Mitsubishi Electric Saudi Ltd. I started as a Trainee in 2014, learning elevator installation techniques, and later advanced to QHSE Trainee, focusing on safety regulations. Since April 2019, I've managed installation inspections and ensured compliance with KSA vertical transportation regulations. My responsibilities now include maintenance inspections, annual quality checks, technical support, and client satisfaction. I am committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety in all my work and supporting any QA/QC activities related to elevators and escalators. I will be happy to support any member, when it comes to QA/QC activities related to Elevators & Escalators.

Escalator Safety for Kids

September 7, 2024

Escalators are a common sight in malls, airports, and various public places, designed to make movement between floors convenient and quick. However, the recent tragic…

Vertical Transportation (VT) projects, like elevators and escalators, are crucial in buildings, especially high-rises. Ensuring these systems are reliable and safe is vital, and that's where Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) come in. Robust QA/QC practices can bring significant economic benefits to VT projects. Let's explore how. 1. Cost Savings from Reduced Defects One of the most immediate economic benefits of robust QA/QC is the reduction in defects. When elevators and escalators are thoroughly tested and inspected, potential issues are identified and corrected early. This means fewer breakdowns and repairs after installation, which saves money. For example, a thorough QC process might catch a minor defect in an elevator's control panel. Fixing this defect during the production phase is much cheaper than repairing or replacing it after installation. 2. Extended Equipment Lifespan Regular QA/QC ensures that VT equipment is built and maintained to high standards, which extends its lifespan. High-quality elevators and escalators last longer, meaning building owners don't need to replace them as often. For instance, an escalator that undergoes rigorous quality checks might last 20 years instead of 15. This extension translates into significant savings over time, as the cost of replacing VT equipment is high. 3. Increased Efficiency and Performance Robust QA/QC leads to better-performing VT systems. Efficient elevators and escalators consume less energy, reducing operational costs. For example, a well-maintained elevator that uses energy-efficient components will lower electricity bills for a building. Over several years, these savings can add up to a substantial amount. 4. Enhanced Safety Reduces Liability Costs Safety is a top priority in VT projects. Effective QA/QC practices ensure that all safety standards are met, reducing the risk of accidents. Fewer accidents mean fewer liability claims and lower insurance premiums. For instance, if an elevator is regularly inspected and maintained, the chances of it malfunctioning and causing injury are minimized. This not only protects people but also saves money on legal fees and compensation costs. 5. Better Reputation and Increased Business Buildings with reliable VT systems attract more tenants and visitors. A reputation for having safe and efficient elevators and escalators can boost a building's appeal. For example, a commercial building known for its reliable VT systems might attract more businesses willing to pay higher rent, thus increasing revenue. Moreover, companies that consistently deliver high-quality VT projects are more likely to secure future contracts, leading to more business opportunities. 6. Compliance with Regulations Avoids Penalties Strict QA/QC practices ensure that VT projects comply with all relevant regulations and standards. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines and legal issues. For instance, a building owner who neglects regular elevator inspections might face penalties from regulatory bodies. By adhering to QA/QC standards, such financial risks are avoided, leading to overall economic benefits. Conclusion Investing in robust QA/QC practices in VT projects is not just about ensuring safety and reliability; it has clear economic advantages. From reducing defects and extending equipment lifespan to increasing efficiency and enhancing safety, the benefits are substantial. Buildings with reliable VT systems attract more business and avoid costly penalties, making QA/QC a wise investment for any VT projects
