Warehousing, Configuration and MaintenanceWarehousing, Configuration and Maintenance
Warehousing, Configuration and MaintenanceWarehousing, Configuration and MaintenanceMaterial Storage: The requirer space for storage area is calculated depending on the equipment inventory’s quantity, dimensions and volume, adapted to securely and safely store the equipment and peripherals from their reception until their delivery to the client.
Diagnosis: In this stage all the electoral Kits’ components are diagnosed (laptop, voting machine, transmission devices, etc.), verifying their functionality, identifying them and registering them in the inventory in order to be stored until the kits configuration begins,
Configuration: Operative system. software and electoral information is installed in all the equipment,
Assembly: All the equipment, devices and supplies are packed into Kits specially customized and identified for the specific location where to be used,
Verification: All Kits are taken to the verification area where, through a checklist, a validation is made to verify that the 100% of the packages contain all the components and devices,
Quality Control: For the quality control a random sample of packages already verified is chosen to make a full diagnosis to verify the correct operability of the components and application. In case that any failure is detected, this component will be replaced or fixed to complete the kit,

The shipment schedule is designed taking into account important factors that could affect the delivery times, such as distance, status of the access roads, transportation medium, and security, amongst others.
The priorities established for the shipment Schedule have big influence on the readiness plan defining the order in which the kits must be assembled, configured and packed.
