MEETING THE WELDING INDUSTRY’S CHALLENGES!

In today’s global economy, the welding industry faces many obstacles that compel metal fabricators to seek more creative, cost-effective ways to improve their competitiveness. Meeting these challenges means fabricators must reduce production costs, increase product quality and respond to every-tightening environmental regulations.

The welding productivity enhancement program accurately analyzes your costs, where appropriate, and recommends process changes to improve your production performance. This is especially important for assessing the impact of labor and overhead, which accounts for 85% of overall welding costs.

A COST-EFFECTIVE PROGRAM

Through the productivity enhancement program, we collect current operating data, and analyze it to determine, if and where, improvements can be made. Generally, cost-savings or productivity enhancements can be made with little or no capital investment. So, instead of requiring a broad range of costly and nonessential changes, the program targets areas that are critical to your operation, while working to improve performance.

MAINTAINING A SAFE BALANCE

The welding productivity enhancement program can also be effective in identifying process changes that can reduce fume and limit welder exposure. Combining a process change with a change in operating conditions can increase productivity by up to 30%! Using the program, a comprehensive review of your fabrication process is conducted. Plant-wide data is collected to determine current costs and productivity levels. The program can also be used to document welding parameters at each individual weld station. Variables such as wire feed speed, current level, gas flow rates and travel speed are used to calculate bottom-line welding costs. Using the program we then quantify the total cost-savings potential which can provide recommendations to improve your welding operation.
