Areas of Service
Production Oversight &
Throughput Acceleration
A senior set of eyes on your floor and vendors—zooming out for a systems view, then zooming in to remove weld/process bottlenecks. I’ll map the flow, spot the pinch points, and recommend the quickest path to higher throughput without compromising quality or safety.
Outcomes:
Shorter cycle times and cleaner handoffs
Lower repair/defect rates and clearer accountability
Morale lift from smoother, predictable work
Fractional Welding Engineer
(On-Call)
Immediate, practical support when you don’t have a full-time welding engineer. I step in to clear bottlenecks, answer code questions, review drawings/WPS, and keep production moving.
Outcomes:
- Faster decisions on weld/process questions
- Fewer reworks & quicker NCR dispositions
- A steady, senior technical “second brain” for your team
WPS/PQR Program
Build-Out & Optimization
Create or tune a right-sized WPS/PQR library for your product mix (carbon, stainless, aluminum, overlays). Includes qualification test planning, acceptance criteria, and welder performance continuity.
Outcomes:
Compliant, usable procedures (not shelf art)
Higher first-pass yield, lower repair rates
Clear change control as products evolve
Weld Quality Plan &
BIQ Tune-Up
Tighten your quality loop: fit-up → process control → inspection → feedback. We standardize checkpoints, tighten acceptance criteria, and align shop practice with drawings and specs.
Outcomes:
Measurable defect/rework reduction
Cleaner audits and customer confidence
Real-time feedback so issues don’t repeat
NCR Reduction & Root Cause
(8-Step)
Rapid triage of repeated issues using a structured 8-step problem-solving approach. We stop the bleeding now, identify the root, then eliminate the cause with targeted countermeasures.
Outcomes:
30–60% cut in recurring defects (typical)
Standard work that actually gets followed
Clear dashboards for leadership visibility
Training & Mentorship
(Welders, Leads, New Engineers)
Practical, on-the-floor coaching that sticks—WPS interpretation, fit-up & parameter discipline, visual acceptance, and defect prevention. Optional mentor track for junior engineers.
Outcomes:
Consistency shift-to-shift, station-to-station
Better parameter control and bead quality
Stronger bench strength across the team
Supplier & Process Audits
(Lightweight & Actionable)
Focused audits on special processes (welding, heat treat, coatings). Identify what matters, fix what’s critical, and make sure suppliers can deliver to your specification or standard every time.
Outcomes:
Fewer surprises at incoming inspection
Clear supplier scorecards & follow-ups
Better leverage in cost/quality conversations
