Cee Kay Supply has the ability to bring a small team of CWI’s/CWE’s into your facility to conduct what we refer to as a “Weld Audit”. The primary intent of this audit is to capture information in regards to your current welding operations and practices to evaluate if potential improvements can be implemented. Typically, these onsite visits are prescheduled and several technical representatives from our organization strategically focus on specific areas pertaining to your overall welding operations. A detailed report is then compiled by our team and reviewed with your organization. If you would like to receive more information concerning this program, please contact our Technical Service Department.
