1.

 Discuss the eight principles of the ISO 9001 standard. How is your company
following these ISO standards? Design a simple quality-focused example, that
you have created. Don't forget to include a technical illustration / image, that you
have created to illustrate this challenge / solution (1 point of 10).

There are eight principals of ISO 9001 standards. Customer focus -evaluates
organization objectives and initiatives to meet customer requirements and exceed
customer expectations. Customer complaints must be systematically logged, and
corrective action taken. It is important to taken into consider customer feedback.
Hence, my company monitors voice of customer which helps us determine which
area we need to focus on for improvement. Leadership – Organizations succeed
when their leaders establish and maintain work environments that engage people
across the company to achieve quality objectives. Leadership at all levels must be
aligned to drive a quality-minded culture. It is important to have the correct
people in leadership as it is how others will follow in order to achieve quality
goals. Involvement of people - Engagement allows employees to be more
empowered, competent, dependable, and better able to help you achieve your
quality objectives and meet customer needs. It is important to include people
across board in meetings/training to get their point of view. People should be
recognized for their work in front of all departments. Process Approach –
Organization will operate more efficiently when leaders manage and control the
business processes, linking them together to form a single system. Adopting this
process approach of inputs and outputs will help my company achieve more
predictable and consistent results. It will also help people focus their efforts on
crucial improvement processes. System Approach to Management - Individual
process performance will improve when you understand, analyze, and manage
interrelated processes to develop a cohesive system. You’ll continue to be
successful when your business processes are managed as one cohesive quality
management system. Continual Improvement - is an ongoing effort to identify
new opportunities and enhance your company’s products, services, and
processes. It involves constant evaluation of customer needs and process
improvement activities. In response to quality gaps, identifying the root cause
and implementing sustainable corrective actions are crucial to quality assurance.
Factual Approach to Decision Making - During the decision-making process,
competent staff members should analyze and evaluate all available data and
information using the appropriate tools and methods. All this data, however,
should be accurate, reliable, and secure, because objective facts and proper data
analysis drive the best business decisions. Relationship Management - Successful
companies establish relationships with relevant partners, including business
associates, vendors, investors, and resellers, to ensure the continuity of the supply
chain.
The figure above shows few of the principles of ISO 9001.

2. Discuss Pareto Charts with a worked out quality-focused example for your

own company. Design a simple quality-focused example, that you have created.
Don't forget to include a technical illustration / image, that you have created to
illustrate this challenge / solution (1 point of 10)..

The pareto diagram is a simple way of rank ordering the causes of problems by
their contributions. Pareto charts represent a type of statistical chart that is used
to identify the most significant factors that contribute to a particular problem or
situation. The fundamental purpose of the Pareto analysis is to find the key
causes that will give the biggest benefits to resolve an issue. Most companies have
limited budgets so its logical to deal with what is the key cause first. This analysis
is especially useful in cases where the problem or defect can be rooted to multiple
causes. The pareto principle is that 20% of the actual work you can generate is
80% of the advantage of doing the entire job. Urge managers to focus on "the
critical few, rather than the trivial many". How ot use the Pareto method: first,
list the challenges. Second, group options where they are facets of the same
larger problem. Third, apply an appropriate way to measure each group. Lastly,
work on the group with the highest score. It allows for a quick identification of
the most critical issues or areas for improvement and provide a clear picture of
the relationship between different issues or factors. It is widely used in quality
control and management, six sigma, manufacturing, business process
improvement and many other fields. The key advantage of Pareto charts is its
ability to visually show the proportion of different issues or factors that
contribute to a problem or situation. Using pareto chart, at company we realize
we got a low score for one of our stapler guns from voice of customer. I decided
to determine the failure modes for that gun. I went to the production floor
towards the end of that stapler gun line. There’s an employee reworking defected
stapler guns from the line. I request him to provide me with number of defected
items and reason. I collected data for one month and created a pareto chart. I
was able to determine that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes
which are peeling, plunger setting, and tight main frame.

The figure about shows pareto chart for stapler gun. 80% of the effects come from
20% of the causes (Peeling, Plunger Setting, and Tight Main Frame.

3. Discuss fishbone diagrams with a worked out quality-focused example for

your own company. Design a simple quality-focused example, that you have
created. Don't forget to include a technical illustration / image, that you have
created to illustrate this challenge / solution (1 point of 10)..

Fishbone diagrams, also known as Ishikawa diagrams, or cause-and-effect

diagrams, represent a very useful method and tool used to identify the possible
causes of a specific problem or issue. They are used to visually organize and
display potential causes and help identify the root cause of a problem. The real-
world is complex and it is full of challenges, therefore we must be able to identify

the possible causes of a specific problem or issue. The fishbone diagram gets its
name from its resemblance to a fish skeleton, with the problem or effect being
represented by the head of the fish, and the potential causes being represented by
the bones. At the end of the fishbone diagram, it displays the effect which is equal
to the dependent variable. The arrows display the key causes which are equal to
the independent variable. There are six parts to a creating a fishbone diagram.
First, define the problem or effect that you want to investigate. Second, identify
main categories of potential causes for the problem. These categories can include
people/human operators, processes, equipment, materials, machine,
environment, and others. Third, break down each main category into more
specific subcategories. Fourth, draw a fishbone diagram, with the problem or
effect written at the head of the fish, and the main categories represented by the
bones. Fifth, identify specific causes within each subcategory and add them to the
diagram. At last, analyze the diagram to identify patterns and possible root
causes. Fishbone diagrams are useful for identifying and understanding the
underlying causes of a problem. They can help identify the factors that
contribute to a problem, and can be used to identify potential solutions. They are
often used in the manufacturing, quality control, and service industries to
identify and correct problems in production processes and in customer service. It
is a simple but effective method and tool that allows teams to work together to
identify and understand the root cause of a problem in order to find an effective
solution. Using fish bone diagram, at company there was a safety incident where
one of the machine that unwinds wire fell, it was a near miss accident. Quality
teamwork with department supervisor and EHS team to put together fishbone
diagram. Problem statement: spool mounting holes are breaking, thus creating
unexpected tension in machines, and potentially leading to accidents. The key
causes in fishbone diagram contains machine, material, manpower, environment,
measurement, method, and operator.

The figure above shows fishbone diagram on the spool that fell. The unwinder was
not bolted to the ground and the spool broke due to soft wood.

4. Discuss histograms with a worked out quality-focused example for your own
company. Design a simple quality-focused example, that you have created. Don't
forget to include a technical illustration / image, that you have created to
illustrate this challenge / solution (1 point of 10)..

Histogram is a frequency distribution shows how often each different value in a

set of data occurs. A histogram is the most used graph to show frequency
distributions. A histogram is used when the data are numerical, you want to see
the shape of data’s distribution especially when determining whether the output
of a process is distributed approximately normally. Analyzing whether a process
can meet customer requirements or analyzing when the output from a supplier’s
process looks like. Seeing whether a process change has occurred from one time
period to another. Determining whether the outputs of two or more processes are
different. There are four steps to creating a histogram. First, collect at least 50
consecutive data points from a process. Second, use a histogram worksheet to set
up the histogram. It will help you determine the number of bars, the range of
numbers that go into each bar, and the labels for the bar edges. After
calculating W in Step 2 of the worksheet, use your judgment to adjust it to a
convenient number. For example, you might decide to round 0.9 to an even 1.0.
The value for W must not have more decimal places than the numbers you will
be graphing. Third, Draw x- and y-axes on graph paper. Mark and label the y-
axis for counting data values. Mark and label the x-axis with the L values from
the worksheet. The spaces between these numbers will be the bars of the
histogram. Do not allow for spaces between bars. At last, for each data point,
mark off one count above the appropriate bar with an X or by shading that
portion of the bar. There are different types of histogram shapes: normal
distribution, skewed distribution, double- peaked distribution, plateau
distribution, edge peak distribution, comb distribution, truncated distribution,
and dog food distribution. At company, we package collagen powder. We have
been capturing defects in the final product in terms of label print resolution and
the seal of the package. We recorded the number of defects per hour using
histogram method and then analysis the histogram later to identify a solution. As
a result, I was able to identify which category had the highest number of defects
and then by solving it, I was able to fix more than 50 percent of the defects.

The figure above shows histogram of very tree in the orchard in centimeters. The
height varies from 100cm to 300cm.
5. Discuss flowcharts for quality management (that follow international standard
notations) and design a simple quality-focused example with a worked out
example for your own company. Don't forget to include a technical illustration /
image, that you have created to illustrate this challenge / solution (1 point of 10).

Flowcharts are technical diagrams that depict a process, a system or a workflow,

and they can be a powerful tool for quality management. Flowcharts are widely
used to visualize, understand and document process flows, and can be used to
identify areas for improvement. Flowchart symbols are based on international
standards such as ISO9001 and ISO10005, which provide a standardized way of
creating and interpreting flowcharts. Therefore, a diagram with a variety of
different boxes, symbols and arrows is most likely NOT a flowchart because it
does not comply with international standards! Flowchart symbols are very easy
to read because they are logical and consistent. There are six steps to creating
flowchart with logical solution. First, identify the process. Second, identify the
starting and ending point. Third, break the process or system down into smaller
steps or activities. Fourth, use flowchart symbols to depict each step or activity,
such as rectangles for process steps, diamonds for decision points and arrows for
flow direction. Fifth, connect the symbols with arrows to indicate the flow of the
process or system. At last, add any additional information or notes, such as input
and output data, responsible person or department and process time. In quality
management, flowcharts are used to improve process efficiency, identify process
bottlenecks, identify areas of inefficiency, improve communication and
understanding of process. Also, identify area for improvement, enhance process
control, identify potential areas of non-conformance, enhance process
documentation, and facilitate process training. Flowcharts are a powerful
method / tool for quality management, as they can be used to identify areas for
process improvement and enhance process control. They follow international
standard notations that make it easy to communicate process flows and make
them easy to understand by different teams and stakeholders. At work, I created
internal cost of quality chargeback process using software called visio. This help
employees visualize the overall flow and what to do if there is a decision that
needs to made. It showed who is responsible at each stage in the flowchart. Also,
it was clear to see where the process starts and where does it end.
The figure above shows flowchart with correct notations. As you can see that when
there is a notation, there are two paths that the flow chart leads to. This helps to see
the overall process clearly.

6. Explain FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) notations and their role in

TQM. How do you analyze, evaluate, and calculate severity, occurrence and
detection modes in a risk analysis project? How do you relate risk and the
process map? Design a simple quality-focused example with a worked-out
example for your own company. Don't forget to include a technical illustration /
image, that you have created to illustrate this challenge / solution (1 point of 10).

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is a systematic, proactive method for

evaluating a process, product, or service to identify potential failure modes/ risks
and their causes, and to assess the risks associated with those failure modes. It is
a risk analysis method for products, processes and systems. It is a great method
and tool to try to reduce / eliminate failures, breakdowns, and eventually risk. It
is used to identify and prioritize potential failure modes based on their likelihood
and potential impact, and to develop and implement corrective actions to prevent
or mitigate those failure modes. FMEA or PFRA notations are a way of
recording and presenting the information collected during an FMEA study. The
notations are divided into three main sections failure mode, effects of failure, and
causes and corrective action. Failure mode describes the potential failure mode
or problem that is being analyzed. Effects of failure describes the potential
impact or consequences of the failure mode, including the severity, occurrence,
and detection of the failure. Causes and corrective action identifies the potential
causes of the failure mode and describes the corrective actions that are proposed
to prevent or mitigate the failure mode. At work, we are analyzing tire
component of car. A flat tire severely affects the customer driving the car (rating
of 10), but has a low level of occurrence (rating of 2) and can be detected fairly
easily (rating of 3). The risk priority number = 10 X 2 X 3= 60. The role of
FMEA in Total Quality Management (TQM) is to anticipate and prevent
potential problems before they occur. By identifying potential failure modes,
causes and their impacts, TQM teams can take proactive actions to eliminate or
minimize the likelihood of those failure modes, and improve the overall quality of
the process, product or service. FMEA is a powerful tool for TQM as it allows
organizations to identify and prioritize potential failure modes, and to develop
and implement corrective actions to prevent or mitigate those failure modes. The
use of FMEA notations makes the process of recording and presenting the
information collected during an FMEA more effective and efficient and helps to
ensure that all relevant information is captured and shared with the appropriate
stakeholders.

The figure above shows FMEA for left front seat belt install process. Failure mode
number two has an RPN of 144, and is therefore the highest priority for process
improvement.

7. FMEA (cont.): How do you analyze, evaluate and calculate severity,

occurrence and detection modes in a quality-focused risk analysis project? How
do you relate risk and the process map? Design a simple quality-focused example
with a worked out example for your own company. Don't forget to include a
technical illustration / image, that you have created to illustrate this challenge /
solution (1 point of 10).

In failure mode and effect risk analysis project, severity, occurrence, and
detection are used to evaluate and prioritize potential failure modes and their
associated risks. Once the severity, occurrence, and detection ratings are
determined for each failure mode, they can be combined to calculate a Risk
Priority Number (RPN). The RPN is calculated by multiplying the severity,
occurrence, and detection ratings. This value can then be used to prioritize the
failure modes and to identify the ones that require the most immediate attention.
The concepts of hazard and risk are the core elements of risk analysis and risk
management. The first component is a hazard or risk, which could cause some
type of harm by its occurrence. The second component of risk assessment is
Possible Loss – what could the consequence be should this hazard occur. The
third component is the Probability of Occurrence – how likely is this hazard to
occur? The fourth component of risk assessment is called Mitigation. Mitigation
means a range of things we can do in order to minimize the likelihood of a
hazard occurring. Risk is the future impact of a hazard that is not controlled or
eliminated. Risk is the degree of uncertainty. The different type of risk is total,
identified, unidentified, unacceptable, acceptable, and residual. FMEA
step/example: first, identify each part or process step (preparation for MRI- in a
hospital). Second, identify potential failure modes (cracked, loosened, deformed,
leaking, etc.). Third, identify potential effects of failure (noise, unstable,
impaired, death etc.). Fourth, rank severity of effect (a tire blow out may be
rated a 2 while a a fire extinguisher to the skull would be rated a 10). Fifth,
evaluate potential causes/mechanism of failure (incorrect material, fatigue, wear
etc.). Sixth, rank possibility of occurrence (1 would be remote while 10 would be
high). Seventh, list current design controls (prevention and detection activities to
reduce occurrence). Eighth, rank ability to detect failure (1 is most certain and
10 is absolute uncertainty). Ninth, calculate RPN
(severity*occurrence*detection). Tenth, design recommended improvement
action, assign responsibility and dates for completion of design improvements,
and lastly monitor actions taken and effects on RPN.

The figure above shows benefits of FMEA.

8. Explain a total quality decision making process. How is your company doing

this? Design a simple quality-focused example, that you have created. Don't
forget to include a technical illustration / image, that you have created to
illustrate this challenge / solution (1 point of 10)..
One of the key principles in total quality management is decision making- quality
decisions should be based on measurements. The decisions are based on the
insights gained from analyzing and evaluating data. This will help to produce
desired results. In TQM the emphasis lies on fact-based decision making which
uses performance matrices to monitor progress. There are multiple steps to come
to a decision. Identify the decision - the first step in making the right decision is
recognizing the problem or opportunity and deciding to address it. Gather
information - This requires making a value judgment, determining what
information is relevant to the decision at hand, along with how you can get it.
Ask yourself what you need to know in order to make the right decision, then
actively seek out anyone who needs to be involved. Identify alternatives - Once
you have a clear understanding of the issue, it’s time to identify the various
solutions at your disposal. It’s likely that you have many different options when
it comes to making your decision, so it is important to come up with a range of
options. This helps you determine which course of action is the best way to
achieve your objective. Weight the evidence - It may be helpful to seek out a
trusted second opinion to gain a new perspective on the issue at hand. Choose
among alternatives - when it’s time to make your decision, be sure that you
understand the risks involved with your chosen route. You may also choose a
combination of alternatives now that you fully grasp all relevant information and
potential risks. Take Action - Getting others onboard with your decision is a key
component of executing your plan effectively, so be prepared to address any
questions or concerns that may arise. Review your decision - an often-overlooked
but important step in the decision-making process is evaluating your decision for
effectiveness. Ask yourself what you did well and what can be improved next
time. My company will consider implementation of principles and processes,
steps in managing transition, and task identification when making a decision.

The figure above shows a process of how decision is being made in quality.
9. Explain how to quality manage difficult people at work and how to deal with
them when they are destroying quality, brand name, reputation, the company,
themselves, the teams, and others (discussion topics); Don't forget to include a
technical illustration / image, that you have created to illustrate this challenge /
solution (1 point of 10).

• The Tyrant. Strategies to soften the "rant" of a Tyrant Boss who bullies,
berates, humiliates. How is your company dealing with this challenge?

• The Saboteur. Often driven by envy, this person works behind your back to
slander and sabotage you. Devious and hard to catch. How is your company
dealing with this challenge?

• The Space Cadet. Not from the ISS (International Space Station), although
their behavior is often out of this world: absent-minded, inefficient, poor
judgment. Usually pleasant, but simply can't get the job done. How is your
company dealing with this challenge?

• The Power Posturer. Loves power and makes all the right moves to get you to
believe that he or she wields tremendous influence. How is your company dealing
with this challenge?

• How to conduct effective quality management meetings to overcome the above

challenges? How is your company dealing with this challenge?

The Tyrant. My believes in consistency and putting in rock-solid work efforts.

Employees are encouraged to communicate with their managers about
acceptable and unacceptable behavior. If vocal about tyranny, a single employee
is likely to be followed by their colleagues. Moreover, employees must be
persistent in calling out their boss's bad behavior and putting a plan into action.
The key is not to let bosses get away with continuing his/her bad behavior.

The Saboteur. The employees are expected to confide in one another and project
a heartening workforce. Keeping this in mind, employees at my company need to
be alert of what is happening around them at work or otherwise; indulging in
frank conversations helps you keep up with things in the office and understand
people's tells. Suppose anyone tries sabotaging any of our employees. In that
case, our company feels proud to have a strong and empathizing Human
Resources branch where employees can openly discuss any problems they are
having inside and outside of work. The HR Dept. will take care of it with
Integrity and ensure a healthy work environment.
The Space Cadet. My company promotes Organizational Leadership programs
to all our Management level employees. For all our underperforming employees,
their managers are expected to follow a seven-step process to help all our
inefficient employees find their place in the company and increase their
productivity.

 Recognize their problem.  Communicate with them and establish the causes
for inefficiency.  Define new job expectations  Manage employee expectations 
Develop an Action plan and ensure regular follow-ups  Recognize Progress and
Provide constructive feedback.  Encourage a healthy work-life balance.

The Power Posturer. My company believes that a person needs to love their job.
It is a passion for people to love their position in a company to have authority to
make all decisions. It is important for person to use their power in the right areas
and not take advantage of it. My employees get annual training regarding each
aspect such as power, communication etc.

There various ways to handle with difficult people at work. Stop over-reacting
and ask yourself if you always experience difficulty while dealing with similar
people. Don’t react if you know how it works. If you see that, without reactions,
things get bitter, let them know how you feel. Be smart and clearly walk up to
your coworker or boss and inform them that you do not like how they are
treating you. Make sure you follow up. If you find that you still want to make
peace, hold another discussion. If not, move on to the next idea of involving your
manager. Talk with your manager or boss. It may sound like a radical move to
take, but often a message from those further up the chain is what they need to
reform their ways. Note that, to have a difficult conversation with your boss, you
need to prepare accordingly. You should be careful with your approach, and
predetermine what works with your boss. Be sure that you are calm when
communicating to explain what is troubling you, how it impacts your job, and
how you wish it to be addressed. Take notes with you, if required. It can be a
good practice to record your colleague's disrespectful behavior, which you can
provide as proof when you speak to your manager. You can talk to the other
employees who might have an issue with the difficult person-carefully. It is
because group approaches often persuade the manager that the behavior's effect
is broader and deeper. Don’t take it personally. Some employee behavior may be
originating from that individual's thoughts and beliefs; however, that doesn't
mean you have done something wrong. Keeping this in mind will help you to
confront the person, confidently. Find a new job. Sometimes, irrespective of how
hard we seek to fix a problem, a person can never alter his or her way. But their
behavior should not come in the way of your happiness and success. You have to
know whether the positive qualities in your present circumstance outweigh your
troubles or vice versa. It will be best to move on and start looking for other
opportunities if it doesn't seem to be changing. 

The figure above shows the different type of people discussed in this section.

10. Explain more how to quality manage pushy, arrogant, difficult people at

work and how to deal with them when they are destroying quality, brand name,
reputation, the company, themselves, the teams, and others. Don't forget to
include a technical illustration / image, that you have created to illustrate this
challenge / solution (1 point of 10).

• The Bulldozer. Pushy, abrasive, aggressive, and overly blunt. Learn how to
stand your ground without getting flattened. How is your company dealing

• The Button Pusher. This sneaky type gets what they want by subtly exploiting
the weaknesses of others. How is your company dealing with this challenge?

• The Coaster. Hasn't done anything in months. Drags down the team's
performance. How is your company dealing with this challenge?

• The Harasser. Two types: (1) who goes too far, and (2) the heavy-duty harasser
out to overpower his victims. How is your company dealing with this challenge?

• The Undercover Operator. Always smiling and telling you how great it is to
work with you, until this snake in the grass strikes. How is your company dealing
with this challenge?

• The Credit Grabber. Don't let a "mind-pirate" steal all your glory. Strategies
that turn the tables so YOU get the credit and the spotlight you deserve. How is
your company dealing with this challenge?
The Bulldozer. It’s important to stand your ground when your intention and
statements are correct. My company always promotes employees to conduct
research, study and collect data prior to meetings in case there is a bulldozer
trying to take over your statement.

The Button Pusher. Others will try to get to your head by making you feel low. I
always tell people to be optimistic and think of all the great qualities they have.
Each person is hired in the company for their own talent and potential to grow
and make improvements.

The Coaster. In order to deal with employees that do not perform well. It is
important to reach out to them regarding any issues. Be sure to keep tab on a
weekly basis or timeframe which is most convenient. My company enforces to
use gantt charts and keep tab on people on performance during project
deadlines.

The Harasser. My company does not tolerate employees to harass other

employees. This is not acceptable at a professional workplace. The moment an
employee harasses another person, it leads to HR. A corrective action will be
taken in order to prevent this type of behavior. My company offers behavior
courses for employee training.

The Undercover Operator. There is always this type of people at workplace. It is

important to stay focus on task instead of what others have to say. In order to
deal with this, I would focus on what needs to be done instead of side talking
about people. This will prevent any undercover operator to approach you. I
would suggest to stay out of drama.

The Credit Grabber. It’s important to speak for yourself. If you have done
something and someone else is taking credit for it. It is important to let someone
know. You will know about the work more since you work on it. Don’t let
someone take your work credit and present it to staff. My company ensures to do
the right thing and listen to everyone statement.

It is important to calmly deal with people who are arrogant and pushy. They can
take a turn any moment and show their true anger.
The figure above shows the different types of people at work in which we have to
deal with. The credit grabber would take your hard work award by taking the credit
when you work on it. The bulldozer will be pushy toward you and the undercover
operator would show you friendship and kindness and then turn to your back.

Executive Summary

US Navy Prowls For E-Fuels From The Seven Seas

The US Navy is always on the prowl for opportunities to resupply on the go. The
Navy had developed a system that simultaneously produces both hydrogen and
captured carbon dioxide from seawater. Those are the ingredients for liquid e-
fuels.  the Navy had developed a system that simultaneously produces both
hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide from seawater. Those are the ingredients
for liquid e-fuels. Harvested fuel reduces reliance on fuel imports and reduces
the risks of supply chain disruptions. Harvesting hydrogen reduces the
operational burden of transporting fuel and, tactically, reduces the visible
logistics tail of friendly units. The e-fuels field was slow to take off in the early
years of the Obama administration. At that time the focus was biofuels and the
leveraging of biological systems to produce renewable fuels. That began to
change when the falling cost of renewable energy opened up the electrolysis
pathway. The growth of the offshore wind industry has added more fuel to the
fire, so to speak. Offshore wind farms are beginning to piggyback with
electrolyzer systems to produce green hydrogen at sea. The hydrogen can be
piped to shore or loaded directly onto ships. Electrolysis is one way to extract
carbon dioxide from seawater.

2 nd statement- HINA
Hi Hina, it’s great that US Navy developed a system that simultaneously produces
both hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This means that we can produce liquid e-fuels
without worrying about lack of resource.

Hi Srikar! Yes, all the ingredients are from seawater. This is very beneficial. The
Navy is saying that they can product almost any kind of fuel in needs from seawater.

Navy mentioned that they may be able to get green hydrogen pushed from water in an
electrolysis system powered by mind, solar, and other renewable energy.

This would be eco-friendly as it reduces reliance on fuel imports and reduces the risks
of supply chain disruptions.

21 MW Nkhotakota Solar PV Plant In Malawi Energized

https://cleantechnica.com/2023/03/04/21-mw-nkhotakota-solar-pv-plant-in-
malawi-energized/

Malawi has one of the lowest electrification rates on the African continent.
Access to electricity is still below 20%. Several projects have recently been
implemented to boost the country’s installed electricity generation capacity. The
PV plant is situated 75 km east of Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe, and is now
delivering to Malawi’s national grid. This new plant will help raise Malawi’s
generation capacity to close to 1 GW. the energization of Nkhotakhota 1, a 21
MWAC solar photovoltaic power plant, was done on 19th February 2023.
Nkhotakhota 1, the first phase of two power projects totaling approximately 38
MWAC when completed, has achieved mechanical completion while testing and
commissioning is ongoing.

1 st statement– SRIKAR
2 nd statement- HINA

Hi Hina, Malawi has a population of 19 million people, yet has one of the lowest
electrification rates of African continent.

Yes, less than 20 percent gets access to electricity. This would be difficult to complete
and communicate various task.

Most of the people live in rural area and they only get roughly 1% of electricity. Is
there anything that can be done?
Companies are installing generators which can help but it’s not a long term solution
as it still would not be sufficient.

Nkhotakhota 1 is projecting a plan to provide 38 MWAC when completed. Golomoti

is another solar plant with 10MWh lit-ion battery energy storage.

Hopefully more panels are installed so that all population gets electricity.

Hi Hina, it’s great that even these expensive sports cars are leaning towards to
developing vehicles which are eco-friendly.
