INFORMATION SHEET 1
What is Quality?
The word quality mean different things to different people in many different
ways. At most basic level, quality is said to address two question: 1. What was the
customer wants? 2.) How does the company achieve what he wants?
Quality Standards
Customers recognize the quality is an important features in product and
services, and in fact, they demand it. Because of stiff global competition, companies
worldwide now recognize that quality is the key to staying in business. Today the
definition of standard work is the most effective combination of manpower, materials
and machinery. “ standard work is the method , and thereby you have the four M’s of
manufacturing ( manpower, material, machinery, methods )
ISO 9000 Standards. International Organization for Standardization

ISO 9000 series of standard are probably the best known international standards for
quality management. They represent a family certifications of companies of all sizes
that cover overall organizational quality and efficiency. ISO 9000 standards do not
certify the quality of products or services and the system of the organizations that
deliver them.
1. Quality Manual – your quality manual briefly described how you meet the
requirements of the standards via the system you implemented. It must include or
reference your procedures.
2. Procedure – describe how to perform a task in general, outlining the key steps and
their order. Procedures can be described as looking ”what” you do [not necessarily
how you do it. Procedures should reference related work instructions.
3. Work instructions – provide detailed step-by-step descriptions of a task, not just an
outline. They should describe “how” you perform a task. Work instructions should
reference related records.
4. Records – are the documents you keep to show that you follow your quality
system. Records are a history of what has occurred and as such should not change.

Quality Management Techniques
The worldwide emphasis on quality has given rise to a host of strategies on
quality management.
Six sigma – a system based upon statistical process control

Zero defect program – created by NEC corporation of Japan, based upon Statistical
Process Control and one of the inputs for the inventions of six sigma.
PDCA – Plan -Do-Check-Act cycle for quality control purposes.

Six Sigma’s DMAIC Method – approach involving the design- Measure – Analyze –
Improve – Control phases for more general improvement purposes.

Quality Circle – a group ( people – oriented ) approach to improvement

Taguchi Methods – employs statistical oriented methods, including quality
robustness, quality loss function and target specifications

4
Toyota Production System – modified in the west into Lean Manufacturing
Kansei Engineering -an approach that focuses on capturing customer emotional
feedback about products to drive improvement.
TQM – Total Quality Management a management strategy aimed at ingraining
awareness of quality in all organizational process. First prompted in Japan with the
Deming prize, Which was adopted and adopted in USA as the Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award.

TRIZ – “theory of inventive problem solving” based on the analysis of creative

solutions to past problems. TRIZ applies to both continuous improvement and
develop of new products and services because continuous improvement requires
solving current problems, and development requires finding a way to solve
customer’s problems.
Kaizen – Japanese for “change for better” the common English application is
continual improvement

Quality Assurance [QA] – strategy that focuses on fine-tuning actual quality to match
intended quality by eliminating non-conforming products.
Value-Adding Management [VAM] – endeavors to ensure that every investment, and
every outcome, adds utility value to the intended quality organization and/or its

5
products, as perceived by its customers and stakeholders, thereby enabling higher
selling price to maximize profit.
Japanese 5s System
The remarkable success and dominance of the Japanese in manufacturing a
vast array of electronic, automotive, and other goods for the work market as well as
their adherence to productivity and quality standards has fired the imagination of
managers worldwide.
The name 5 s Standard for ( 5 ) Japanese words: Seiri, Seiton, Seiso,
Seiketsu and Shitsuke.
Japanese English Meaning Typical example
SEIRE “ One is best “ Organization Segregate and throw

SEITON Systematize arrange Neatness 30 second retrieval of

SEISO Sanitize, Clean daily Cleaning Individual Cleaning

SEIKETSU Revisit Frequently Standardization Praising good practice

SHITSUKE Motivate to Sustain Discipline Not just cleaning uo
spills and leaks but
tackling the causes of
those problems

Welding codes and standards

Worldwide interest in public safety has promoted the development of welding
codes, and the evolution of these codes and the standards reflects international
recognition of the exacting requirements concerning the high risk applications for
welding

Who develop the standards

Welding codes and standards have been developed over the years within
numerous committees of engineering and technical societies that continue to
evaluate the needs of industry and depending on the industry trends, amend or
develop a new codes and standards.

6
What welding codes or standard contains
While the particular contents and requirements of a welding code or standard
may vary, there are number of common elements within these documents. These
includes:
Scope and General Requirements: Usually found at the beginning of the documents,
it provides a description of the type and extend welding fabrication for which the
code or standard was developed. It may also prescribes the limitations for the use of
the document.
Design: This portion may contain minimum requirements for the design of specific
welded connections, may cite a secondary source of information for the reader.
Qualification: this section may contain the requirements for qualification testing of
welding procedure specifications [WPS], also those for qualification of welding
personnel. It may provide the essential variables in the welding process, type and
thickness or base metal, filler metal type, electrical parameters, joint design, welding
position, and others. Further, this section may also provide qualification testing
requirements, including the types and size of test sample as to be welded and
prepared for testing, the testing methods to be used, the minimum acceptance
criteria to be used for evaluation of test samples.
Fabrication: this section usually provides information about fabrication methods
and/or workmanship standards. It may contains requirements for such item as base
materials, welding consumable classification, shielding gas quality, heat treatment,
preparation and care of base materials
Inspection: this section will typically address the welding inspector’s qualification
requirements and the responsibilities, acceptance criteria for discontinuities, and
requirements relating to procedures for nondestructive testing.
