applicable)

1. KAIZEN Title : 6.Before : Sl. No. (For BE use):

To implement correct Weld Width & Leg Logged By : Komara
Length and to improve welding process for Loknathadam
equipment availability and reliability.

2. Problem statement: Department : Asset Optimization

1. Insufficient Weld Width and Leg Length MM/ YY : 08 / 21
observed at welding areas.
2. Affects the job quality, strength and visual Implemented By : Komara
appearance of the finished welding. 7. After: Loknathadam
3. Frequent breakdowns. Department : Asset Optimization
3. Root cause identification : why, why
1. Low/high hand speeds and low/high
welding currents. MM/ YY : 08 / 21
2. Improper electrode angles and faulty
electrodes. 9. Actions to hold the gains :
4. Root cause : NIL
Welder unawareness about the job.

5. Solution : 8. Result Benefit : 10. How many places this KAIZEN can be
1. Use a sufficient wide joint preparation. 1. Time Save for Rework & Inspection. deployed horizontally : NA
2. Correct welding parameters like current and
hand travel speed. 2. Reduction of reject ratio and
