Quality Management System
A quality management system organizes all workflows in a welding shop to ensure compliant product quality.
Physical-chemical mechanism of action
The quality management system is not a physical process entity, but a structured method for controlling and improving work procedures. It consists of various processes such as planning, execution, and monitoring.
Metallurgical relevance & risks in welding
An unstructured or faulty procedure can lead to weld defects such as porosity, inconsistency, or brittleness. A quality management system minimizes these risks through continuous monitoring and improvement of work processes.
Workshop practice & action instructions
To establish an effective quality management system, the following steps should be taken:
1. Planning: Define quality objectives and set standards.
2. Execution: Implement the defined processes in daily work.
3. Monitoring: Regularly monitor work procedures and collect data on quality assurance.
4. Improvement: Use the collected data to optimize processes and eliminate sources of errors.
