Quality Management for Steel and Metal Fabrication Operations
Steel and metal fabrication shops across Africa lose margin to weld defects, dimensional errors and material problems that surface only at final assembly or on site. This course builds practical quality control for cutting, forming, welding and finishing, including material verification, weld inspection basics and dimensional checks. Participants learn to catch defects early and control quality across the fabrication sequence.
What you will be able to do
Verify incoming steel and material certificates against requirements.
Control quality across cutting, forming and welding stages.
Apply basic visual weld inspection and acceptance criteria.
Carry out dimensional checks against fabrication drawings.
Manage surface preparation and coating quality.
Document inspection and traceability through the fabrication process.
