Yard & jobs

One yard, many jobs,one ledger.

The yard is a facility site with its stores and plant. Each fabrication job or turnaround is its own site — spools, structures and systems moving through cut, fit-up, weld, NDT and paint.

  • Tonnes, dia-inch welds and m² blasted — per job
  • Stock issued to a job comes off the yard ledger
  • Jobs behind schedule visible at a glance

  • P/2

    Dia-inch welds and tonnes

    Log each activity in the unit the shop counts — welds by dia-inch, steel by tonne, blasting by m².

  • P/3

    Norms per weld

    Electrode, wire and gas norms per weld drive run-out and material-to-complete for every job.

Worked example

When do the electrodesrun out?

A generic 320-weld job, worked the way SPADE works it — every number traceable to approved logs.

    Rate

    112 welds in 14 working days — about 8 welds per day.

  2. 2

    Remaining

    208 welds left of 320 — about 26 working days at that rate.

  3. 3

    Stock

    Electrodes on hand cover about 9 days at the weighted daily use.

  4. 4

    Lead time

    14-day lead time: flagged today, with the quantity to finish.
