MANUFACTURERS & CONTRACTORS
Manufacturers & Contractors
Reduce Rework, Risk, and Downtime
We help manufacturers and contractors optimize QA/QC workflows, ensure audit readiness, and reduce rework through practical compliance strategies. Whether you're preparing for an AWS D1.1 audit, troubleshooting inspection failures, or implementing welder qualification systems, we deliver measurable improvements.
Common Challenges:
•Audit failures: Failed AWS, ASME, or API audits due to documentation gaps or process issues
•High rework rates: Defects discovered late in production, leading to costly rework
•Inspection bottlenecks: QA/QC processes slow down production throughput
•Compliance confusion: Unclear code requirements lead to over-engineering or non-compliance
How We Help:
•Gap Analysis: Identify compliance gaps and operational inefficiencies
•Audit Preparation: Mock audits, documentation review, and corrective action plans
•Process Optimization: Streamline QA/QC workflows for faster throughput
•Code Interpretation: Clear guidance on AWS, ASME, and API requirements
Results:
•Pass audits on first try: Clients prepared for AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, and API 1104 audits
•Reduce rework by 30-50%: Catch defects early, minimize costly rework
•Faster throughput: Optimized inspection processes reduce bottlenecks
Typical Clients:
•Structural steel fabricators
•Pipe fabrication shops
•Heavy equipment manufacturers
•Construction contractors
•Shipbuilders and repair yards
Case Study Example (Optional):
Challenge: A structural steel fabricator failed an AWS D1.1 audit due to incomplete WPS documentation and inconsistent inspection records.
Solution: We conducted a gap analysis, redesigned their documentation system, and trained their QC team on proper inspection procedures.
Result: They passed their re-audit 60 days later and reduced rework by 40%.
