Machine Deployment Protocol

🚛 A. Big Picture: Machine Dispatch ≠ Just Logistics

एक मशीन को साइट तक भेजना सिर्फ ट्रांसपोर्टिंग नहीं है — यह एक पूरा workflow है:

• Site readiness

• Machine readiness

• Documentation

• Team deployment

• Safety checks

• Communication loop

"Right machine, right time, right site — यही success का formula है!" ✅

🧭 B. HO Planning: कौन सी मशीन कहाँ भेजनी है?

SNL HO को तय करना होता है:

1. कौन सी साइट active हो रही है?

2. कौन सा fruit process होना है?

3. कौन सी मशीन उस फ्रूट और साइट के लिए उपयुक्त है?

📦 Factors to match:

• Machine configuration (blades/filters)

• Site location (distance, road access)

• Operator familiarity (past site experience)

• Machine usage history (maintenance cycle due?)

📋 Checklist Before Site Allotment:

CriteriaChecked?
Fruit confirmed
Site infra verified
Buyer/pulp offtake exists
Ops calendar aligned

📌 Golden Rule:

Machine without full dispatch docket = no-go.

🛻 D. Transport Booking & Loading

1. Transport Mode: Trailer truck (40-ft or appropriate size)

2. Loading: Use crane/forklift – skilled team only

3. Packing: Machine covered (dust + water protection), accessories labelled

4. Dispatch Note: With full item list, destination details, in charge name

📦 Attachments in Dispatch Note:

• Site MOU copy

• Fruit plan summary

• Contact list (Field + HO team)

• Spare part list

• Fuel estimate for site duration

🛑 Tip: Don’t forget padlock, spare keys, tool storage drawer keys – often missed!

🕓 E. Travel Time Planning (यात्रा की advance plan बनाना जरूरी है)

Travel DistanceExpected TimeNotes
100–300 km1 DayDaytime delivery preferred
300–600 km1.5–2 DaysOvernight halt may be needed
>600 km2–3 DaysFuel + maintenance checks en route

HO must:

• Inform site partner about ETA

• Keep site ready (loading team, platform)

• Share live location (if GPS enabled truck used)

________________________________________

🏗️ F. On-Site Unloading Protocol

1. Confirm stable platform is ready (no slope, no puddle)

2. Use trained unloading crew (site or contractor)

3. Unload with crane or manual guide rollers (as applicable)

4. Check for any dents, damage or spillage

5. Click arrival photos (4 angles) and share with HO

6. Place machine under roof/shade if possible

🛑 Safety First: Machine must be earthed properly before connection. No loose wires.

👥 G. Team Deployment (कौन-कहाँ-कब जाएगा?)

1. Finalize site calendar with HO

2. Assign:

o Site In-Charge

o Machine Engineer

o Operator

o Helpers (may be local)

3. Arrange:

o Travel tickets or vehicle

o Advance cash (food, lodging)

o Emergency contact list

📅 Pro Tip: Site duration = fruit availability window + buffer days (e.g., 8–12 days for guava season)

________________________________________

📂 H. Final Deployment Docket (Ready Folder)

🗂️ File folder to be carried with machine/team must include:

• Site address + partner contact

• Fruit plan summary

• Daily reporting formats (print + digital copy)

• Training module (basic Do’s/Don'ts)

• Contact sheet: HO + support team

• Basic Troubleshooting SOPs

📸 Visual cue: All paper docs should have version stamp + SNL logo for uniformity.

🧠 Final Thought:

"Site par machine time pe पहुंच गई – तो आधी लड़ाई जीत ली। लेकिन अगर वो गलत तरीके से पहुंची – तो पूरी टीम भुगतेगी!"

This section ensures machine dispatch becomes a routine, not a risk.

Because when SNL moves — it should move like a pro-level logistics and production company, not a jugaad outfit. 🔧🚛📦
