Enhancement in Welding Performance of 2% Maximum Weld Repair Policy

Abstract

In the implementation of welding work on a modular oil & gas fabrication project in PT. X Batam to get welding results that are 100% very difficult to achieve and always obtain welding results through visual inspection tests and Non-Destructive Test is rejected or defect that the repair welding must be done to fix it. The causes of welding repair are classified into two, namely repair due to lack of skill welder or due to engineering aspects. With that the management of PT. X Batam issued a policy of 2% maximum welding repair for each structural welding job as a KPI's and part of the company's quality manual to monitor and control of welder’s performance in every project implemented. From the results of the 2% maximum KPI welding repair policy obtained significant enhancement on the performance of welders in every project undertaken and shown from the results of KPI values in 2014 the TEN FPSO E-house project was 1.2%, in 2015 the FPSO Kraken PGM project was 1.5 %, in 2016 the Ghana PGM FPSO project is 0.8%, in 2017 the Adolo Compressor FPSO project is 0.75%, in 2018 the TCO Area E-house project is 0.65% and in 2019 is ongoing the BGC TEG Regeneration unit project is 1.25%.
