Code welding is a records business with sparks
The weld is the easy part to inspect. The procedure, the qualification, the continuity, the rod lot — that's where audits are won and jobs are lost.
PROCEDURES AS CONTROLLED DOCUMENTS
WPS and PQR live in document control, linked to the joints that use them. A procedure revision gates affected jobs the same way a print rev does — nobody welds to a superseded spec by accident.
CONTINUITY THAT CHECKS ITSELF
Welder qualifications and continuity windows live in HR with 60-day warnings. Dispatch checks them: an expired cert means the system won't assign the welder to code work, which is a kinder conversation than the one after the audit.
NDE LANDS WHERE IT BELONGS
MPI, UT, and RT reports attach at the operation that ordered them and flow into the shipment cert package. The customer's documentation call stops happening.
ROD AND WIRE BY LOT
Consumables issue by lot to the weld. When a lot comes into question, the affected joints — and only the affected joints — surface in seconds.
