Lean in a Welding/Pressure Vessel Shop Environment
Lean in a Welding/Pressure Vessel Shop Environment
(OP)
Has anyone had experience implementing lean in a pressure vessel fabrication shop, and if so can you give me a few pointers?
To my mind, it would start at the design phase (specifying the right material, good joint design etc) but would also encompass the welding economics side (cost of consumables, eliminating over welding, tracking duty cycle and operating factor, etc).
If anyone has any ideas on how to begin, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
