Launching of Online Vendor Registration System at DLW

In an effort to create transparency in dealing with the vendors and improve procedural

efficiency in processing of their applications, Diesel Locomotive Works has launched a web-based

portal for vendors on its official website www.dlw.indianrailways.gov.in. This online vendor

registration system was launched by General Manager Shri Ashok Kumar Harit by pressing the

button on 30th April at Conference Hall. This portal has many enabling features including facility for

the vendors to register their application online. It

provides them with login authority which can be used

by the vendors to access DLWs vendor portal for any

information related to the status of processing of their

application. Each activity related with the processing of

vendor application (including scrutiny of documents,

physical verification of manufacturing infrastructure

etc.) is tied to a specific timeline and the system

automatically generates alerts as and when these

defined timelines are violated at any stage. The system automatically ensures monitoring of

process time and the slacks are eliminated. With this system, the vendor application processing

time is likely to come down drastically (form around 240 days to 60 days). On this occasion, GM

Shri Harit announced a cash award of ` 10000/- for the team, involved in making this web portal.

The advantages of web based portal are summarized as under :-

Facility to vendors for online submission of Vendor Application form

System generated acknowledgement to vendor and alerts to DLW officials at every stage

Paperless transaction

Smart tracking of document / timeline monitoring of complete process / status of applica-

tion visible to vendor

The module implemented for online vendor application is a scaleable module and can be

interfaced with other lateral modules in future. In this connection, it is to inform that DLW is in the

process of developing web based modules for updateion of DLW vendor directory, monitoring of

progress made by the vendor against developmental purchase orders and system for monitoring

prototype inspections also and these modules, as and when developed, will be interfaced with this

portal.
