The Procurement Engineering and Receiving Inspection of
Raw Materials
He will discuss a ten-point procurement procedure he
developed for the purchase of base metals. These ten points can be reversed in
order for cost-effective receipt-inspection criteria.
He will apply this
procedure to the procurement of filler metals and atmospheres, and will end the
night with a round-table discussion as to how lean-manufacturing and six-sigma
principles might improve this procedure to an assembly of parts.
