INTRODUCTION
Administration of business practices to develop high degree of efficiency possible within
firm is known as operational management. It concerned with transforming raw materials into
finished products or services to increase the profit margin of business rather than before within
specific sector. The present report is based on Tindo solar company, located in Australia. This
study defines the overview of firm, its day to day operations and linkages between organization
and LB 5230 theory. Furthermore, it justifies the sustainability within firm precinct.
TASK 1
Overview of company
Tindo solar is one of the best manufacturer and designer of technologically & high
quality advanced solar panels in Australia. They supply its products in all over the world
effectively, the solar panels of firm is made at Mawson lakes manufacturing facility in Australia.
It was set up in 2011 and company is wholly Australian operated and owned (Mezher,
Dawelbait and Tsaia, 2016). They mainly focus on maximizing solar panel productivity as well
as creating the better jobs in nation, especially in advanced production industry. It runs a state of
art 60 MW power production unit in Adelaide, South Australian. Tindo Karra 300W PERC
monocrystalline solar panel is the popular product of company, that fits more capacity into less
space. The price of this good is competitive and obtained great response.
With the help of Australian national university in Canberra the testing and development
of Tindo karra 300 solar panels is being produced efficiently. The premium solar panels of firm
in Adelaide is renowned for its lifetime performance and superior quality, along with minimal
maintenance needed from homeowner. Tindo solar panel manufacturer line if highly automated,
helping to develop next generation of green, high tech manufacturing jobs in country. The
products of organization are locally manufactured and designed from beginning to end, firm
offer $0 deposit finance plan, so people saving will cover the price of system.
Company offer fully servicing of their products, either to other consumers and to users of
Tindo panels installed by others. Tindo Karra 300 is the main goods which has been in
production for 8 years, solar modules give minimum of 25 years of long term great performance
due to Tindo solar superior quality (George, 2016). In additional to this, firm works within
renewable energy sector with skilled and talented applicants, they recently employ 25 candidates
in Adelaide and another 20 nationally.

Tindo is Adelaide based solar panel company that bought by local insulation firm turned
solar installer, cosy or cool, as part of strategy to develop the biggest solar retailer in Australian.
Voltaic module is the heat of company it is intelligent and brilliant technical design fused with
number of creative materials that makes it ultimate solar panel.
Day to day operations of Tindo solar company
Within Tindo solar company, workers perform and do their job perfectly, at 24 hours
there are range of operations has been operated daily at workplace (Li, 2016). Firm committed to
provide Australian goods that benchmarked against any panel in universe. Some operations
mentioned below-
Electroluminescence testing-
It is the procedure by which photons are created when extra electro hole pairs is
developed by electric current caused by outwardly applied bias. Visual testing of surface of solar
panels in company do not cater capable assurance of quality of work. Cracks cause during
transportation and production of solar cells, micro cracks caused by heat stress while stringing,
defect contact point between cells and ribbons, cracks due to faulty handling in module
manufacturing line etc. are the numerous defect in solar cells has been examined through this
testing which is quite beneficial for business. All above defects will cause substantial reduction
of greater quality of modules. Organization effectively uses Electroluminescence tester on each
panel that they produce daily, it provides suitable and reliable quality control system for each
solar panel in which any defects will easily detected so people as the end consumers will be
assured of output from panels well into further.
Flash testing-
It helps to measure output performance of solar panel module, flash testing is standard
test process at Tindo firm support to assure the conforming operability of each panel. It is the
part of final stage of manufacturing procedure, within workplace each Tindo panel is flashed
tested. At the time of testing panel is exposed to flash of light from xenon filled arc lamp. Output
spectrum of lamp is as close to spectrum of sun, during this flash test the output is validates to
assure that products is performing as charge to their specifications. The management of company
send panel out of its consumers when they are totally satisfied that panel is produces as business
nameplates suggest.
Visual inspection-

This operation is also included in day to day operations of Tindo company, they have
range of visual inspection points to assure that products is made for life. The management of
firm make inspection of Tindo panels to assure there is no air blisters and bubbles in lamination
procedure is available.

with solar panels (Crossman, Spoehr and Siebentritt, 2016). When consumers install solar panels
at business premises or home they will be able to save money on energy bills and reduce
dependency on traditional electricity which is origin from fossil fuels such as natural gas & coal.
Combating greenhouse gas emissions contribute in reducing carbon foot print and makes positive
effect climate and environment related problems, it helps in environmental sustainability. Solar
panels produced by Tindo is highly beneficial for environment because solar is renewable energy
source. Firm understand the importance of sustainability, they make a lot of efforts to save the
nature and reduce negative impact on environment.
Greenhouse gases and hydrofluorocarbons is released into atmosphere which is quite
beneficial for environment safety, there is also indirect contribution made by firm through
consumption of electricity. Heating, air conditioning, hot water, ventilation and lighting is
systems is the main cause for these emissions. The solar panel of company is becoming favoured
energy select for large number of Australian due to benefits it provides. The independent and

climate living condition make it an ideal set up for creating the best of solar. In simple words, it
