Article - Five Goals for Improving Productivity

(Practical Welding Letter # 80)

Everyweldingshop canimprove remarkablyits productivity simply by concentrating on five goals that, in the normal course of work, risk of being overlooked.

• Reducing Weld Metal Volumeto fulfill drawing requirements but no more than needed to meet the design intent. Excess weld material is a costly waste. Overwelding does not contribute to stronger or safer weldments: it is a discrepancy that should be contrasted with proper education and discipline.
• Reducing Arc Timeper weldment means improving the Weld Deposition Rate (WDR) to achieve the required coverage in the minimum possible time. This requires measuring and knowing the actual WDR applied by the current method and parameters. Obviously striving to reach this goal may mean trying different processes and procedures. Given the remarkable rewards that can be gained by reducing arc time to the minimum, it is a well spent effort. The introduction of suitable bonus incentives may contribute to make the bookkeeping more acceptable to the welders.
• The third recommendation deals with setting in place a system aimed atreducing wasteconnected with non conformances, repair work and scrapping unacceptable and irreparable welded items. In order to account for every instance of such cases one has to report them, to investigate their causes and to implement corrective actions designed to avoid their recurrence. Essential elements toward this goal are proper education, training and supervising to monitor the performance.
• Much thought should be devoted to employ means and methods capable ofReducing Work Efforton the part of the welder. By studying the actual work being done and by engaging the welders' cooperation one can implement the availability of tools and accessories likely to improve their productivity by reducing their physical effort.
• Reducing Motion and Delayhelps maximize the useful arc-on time. This means setting up a system for supplying continuously new work to the welders, freeing them from the need to perform unproductive auxiliary actions. This may require reorganizing the layout of the work area and the work flow.

These productivity improvements cannot be implemented unless Management takes a firm stand introducing anintegrated approach involving all functions, including, design, purchasing, stores, planning, production and quality assurance. Motivating all involved and measuring all relevant data in view of striving to reach the above goals will help building the base for improving profitability.
