How To Ensure Quality Throughout The Fabrication Process

At C&C Fabrications, we’re known for our high class fabrication services and consistency across the many years we’ve been in operation. However, this hasn’t come by chance. By ensuring high standards and safety at every step of the fabrication process, we have been able to build our reputation as a high-quality fabrication company, serving clients across Yorkshire and the UK.

Throughout this blog we’ll take you through the processes that fabrication companies should go through to ensure a high standard is maintained, and customers are left happy with the service they receive.

Qualified Staff

Staff are the most important element of any fabrication company, with their skill level and ability affecting the quality of the fabricated items being produced.

First of all, companies should ensure they are employing fully qualified welders and fabricators. Each staff member should have all relevant qualifications to ensure they can produce fabricated items to the highest quality. This will also ensure safety measures are followed and reduce the chance of an accident.

As well as employing qualified welders and fabricators, it is also important to hire managers that will have to knowledge to properly quality inspect products and check for mistakes or damage. This will increase the condition of what customers are receiving as any damage will be corrected.

Safety Procedures

To ensure a high quality standard is maintained, safety procedures should be followed. As well as increasing the condition of the fabricated products, this will also reduce the risk of accidents happening in the workplace.

To safeguard welding equipment, safe welding practises should be followed. This will increase safety as well as keeping the welding equipment is the best condition possible, therefore increasing the quality of the products that are welded. This should be the case for all equipment and machinery in a fabrication company and will also reduce costs as machinery will not have to be bought as often.

Another important safety procedure to follow to increase quality is to handle, store and ship products properly. This will drastically reduce the chances of damage occurring during storage or transport and will ensure customers receive their fabricated products in pristine condition.

Consistency

The best way to ensure repeat business from customers is to produce the best standard of products consistently. If a customer orders the same fabricated item twice, but the exact dimensions or finish is different the second time, they are unlikely to want fabricated products from you again, especially if it is bespoke work you are producing.

Having a quality control procedure in place can keep high quality standards and ensure consistency in maintained.

Although this isn’t an exhaustive list, these are a few ways that fabrication companies ensure quality throughout the fabrication process. When choosing a fabrication company, it is important to make sure they follow these procedures or have a quality control plan in place.
