The purpose of this Bulletin_101 is to provide links to Online Sources.
Productivity is the measure of all fabrication efforts.
By constantly looking into how the assets are used, caring to eliminate waste and maximize profit, one can manage effectively the shop and keep it on solid economic foundations.
It is especially significant when production runs are large and repetitive.
This Bulletin_101 intends to supply a useful Reference List to add further information on top of what presented in our other pages listed further down.
It could be kept handy for reference when required, to get Resources that may be needed in certain cases.

Resources on Welding Productivity
Welding Productivity is a subject that was dealt with many times in our periodic publication,
Practical Welding Letter.
A few references are reported hereafter.
Links can be found in the Index of Past Issues of PWL.
PWL#017 - Robotic Welding (2)
PWL#029 - Weld Deposition Rate (2)
PWL#052 - Tandem GMA Welding and Surfacing (11)
PWL#080 -Five Goals for Improving Productivity (2)
PWL#110 - Early Inspection for Higher Productivity (2)
PWL#112 - Productivity Improvements in GTAW (7)
PWL#120 - The Importance of Optimizing Material Specifications and Welding Protocols (2)
PWL#125 - Tips for Job Shops, goals of Improving productivity (3)
PWL#133 - Business Software Benefits (2)
PWL#060B - Resources on Welding Robots
PWL#080B - Improving Productivity with Robotic Welding
Various Welding Advisers Website Pages deal with Productivity.
Some of them are listed hereafter:
The following downloadable Report shows a gloomy image of the American Welding Industry at the time of the research.
"Most firms do not evaluate the role and contribution of welding in the complete manufacturing process".
It means that big gains can be realized by applying the principles for improving productivity.
It depends only on the will to work effectively for removing the hindrances.
The remarkable improvements obtainable in the bottom line should provide the drive for action.
