In many fabrication shops, engineering and production share the same logo but not always the same mindset. When drawings are unclear, revisions are rushed, or feedback loops are weak, the result is predictable: rework, scrap, delays, and frustration.
This session explores the communication barriers that commonly exist between engineering and fabrication teams and the measurable costs they create. Attendees will learn practical strategies to strengthen alignment from CAD to cut part to weld cell, including how to create effective feedback loops, make prints more buildable, and turn shop-floor insight into operational advantage.
Participants will leave with actionable ideas to reduce rework, improve throughput, and build stronger collaboration between departments. When fabrication feedback is treated as valuable data instead of criticism, performance improves and profitability follows.
