1. Weld Booths

2. System Needs and Proposed Solution Weld Booths Primary Needs: 1.Standardize weld booth Better use of space by eliminating unnecessary equipment/materials Allow welders the flexibility to use any weld booth 2.Install visual controls to ensure welder is always busy 3.Construct exhaust system to remove gasses generated from welding Suggested Solution: 1.Add pipe rollers to weld booths Productivity → Provide greater flexibility 2.Eliminate argon tanks with direct piping Safety & Productivity → Eliminate the need for welders to go outside and fill up argon tanks (currently 2x per week), alleviating unnecessary lifting and walking 3.Dig trenches for cords Safety → Eliminate cords from lying along the floor 4.Install visual control system (green/white lights) Productivity → Make pipe-fitters aware of when/which welder needs work and make pipe-fitters aware of when welder has completed work 5.Simple exhaust system (add oscillating fans between weld booths) Safety → Welding curtains can remain closed and decrease potential for weld flashing
