The welding industry is in the process of change and under
pressure. New processes and new materials are being introduced in
the wake of increasingly tough competition.
In this book, Richard Boekholt, a senior welding consultant with
vast experience and a uniquely international outlook, has compiled
and summarised international practice within the field of welding
developed from a European Union study 'Working Life 2000. The
Welding Industry in Technological Change: a Human Resource
Perspective'.
The book looks at the impact of automation and explains that, while
some people may feel that the use of robotics and computers will
threaten welders' jobs, in fact robots and computers will help
welders, not replace them. At present welders are in demand and
companies are faced with difficulties in recruiting and retaining
good staff. It is through improved working conditions, which are
presently often environmentally unsafe with workers exposed to
smoke, noise, vibration and heavy physical labour, that companies
can attract and keep workers.
The book emphasises the importance of managing human resources and
looks at new ways of doing this. A recognition of the importance of
managing human resources and looks at new ways of doing this. A
recognition of the importance of training, of instructors as well
as workers, will be essential to achieve the dedicated, motivated
and flexible workforce necessary to work with the new technologies
of the 21st century.
