🛠️ Understanding WPQR – The Backbone of Reliable Welding 🔍 In the world of industrial fabrication and construction, welding isn’t just about joining metals — it’s about ensuring strength, safety, and compliance with international codes. That’s where the Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR) comes into play. At UMA Industrial Engineering Services, we believe that every strong structure starts with a certified and verified welding process. WPQR ensures that the welding procedure, when followed, will consistently produce a weld that meets all the required standards. Here’s a clear step-by-step visual guide to how we develop a WPQR — from material selection and welding parameters to NDT and mechanical testing. This structured process helps us: ✔ Ensure code compliance (ASME IX, AWS D1.1) ✔ Eliminate guesswork and inconsistency in welding ✔ Strengthen the foundation for project audits and traceability ✔ Guarantee long-term performance and safety This isn't just technical documentation — it’s a quality assurance tool that reduces project risk and improves efficiency. 📌 If you’re a QA/QC engineer, welding inspector, or someone involved in fabrication, EPC, or heavy industries, this knowledge is not just helpful — it's essential. 🎯 Don’t forget to save this post for future reference, and feel free to share it with your technical team or network. 📣 For more real-world insights into welding standards, industrial quality, and field practices — 👉 Follow Avinash Shrivastava here on LinkedIn.

Three Timeless Lessons from Charlie Munger I’ve been reading The Worldly Wisdom of Charlie Munger — and every page feels like a quiet masterclass in clarity and common sense. I’m still making my way through the book, but three ideas have already left a lasting impression on me: 1. Be Reliable Your first duty is to faithfully do what you’ve promised. As Munger warned, if you’re unreliable, “you will be outrun by hordes and hordes of mediocre turtles.” Reliability might not sound glamorous, but it compounds silently over time. It’s what separates enduring trust from fleeting impressions. 2. Keep Learning, Always The wisest people are voracious learners. They read constantly, absorb from great minds, and reflect daily. Munger’s advice: “Go to bed every night a little wiser than you were that morning.” Knowledge doesn’t grow in sudden bursts — it’s built drip by drip, day by day. 3. Think in Reverse When faced with tough problems, Munger’s trick is simple: invert them. Instead of asking “How can I succeed?” start with “What will cause me to fail?” His line stays with me — “If you can figure out where you’re going to die, you’ll never go there.” Inversion forces clarity. It strips away noise and helps focus on what truly matters. Reliability builds trust. Lifelong learning builds depth. Inversion builds clarity. These aren’t just investment lessons — they’re life principles worth living by. #CharlieMunger #MentalModels #LifelongLearning #Leadership #WorldlyWisdom #ProblemSolving #Reliability #Reading #PersonalGrowth

Leadership in Today’s Business Dynamics Attended a session on “ Leadership in Today’s Business Dynamics by Nandita Pandey during the 2 day mining meet 2025 at Chennai. UltraTech Cement is growing at a furious rate and requires dynamic and forward looking leaders who can adopt to the situation and keep performing and growing. The dynamic of the business are also changing rapidly with new domestic players growing aggressively and the world order is fluid ready to reorient and readjust. During these times the leaders should embrace change as new normal and be prepared first mentally with changed mindset and then on ground. This session was in line with the requirements. The short session had all the ingredients required for the leadership today and was delivered with finesse by Ms. Nandini Pandey. Though the session covered a range of topics, I had some profound learnings which I would like to share. 1. To be a leader who wants to continue leading should be able to adopt, inspire and transform. Easier said than done but what stop a leader is not the lack of resources or his / her ability, but the resistance to change or the feeling of discomfort with new order. To overcome this change should be viewed differently. 2. To view change differently, the change should be understood. Every change takes something away. Most of us concentrate only on what it takes away, but every change brings something new, it adds to our skills and personality. So, to quickly overcome the resistance to change, every leader should identify what the change is going to add and create positivity to dispel the fear and resistance. But, to implement it with the team, a leader requires something more. 3. As a leader you cannot have one personality. On one hand you are required to remain positive and pitch for the advantages and urgent need to the team. On the other hand you are required to anticipate / understand the pitfalls of the impending change and work out for dampening the effect with senior management. On another front you are required to identify new skills and deploy them in your team and alternatively fish out the skills and manpower not required after the change. To be a leader, you are required to be all of them and may be many more, so you should have the ability to switch / don different hats / change the personality as per requirement and excel in all of them and work in such a way that it benefits the company. 4. A ‘win win’ situation is always advised, appreciated and encouraged. But, a trade off for a ‘win win’ situation in an organisation is between leaders or departments or units. I was introduced to a new concept what is called a third WIN situation. Many a times a ‘win win’ situation between two departments may not be a win for the company. So, in every trade off the organisation should win. Care should be taken that to ensure that the 3rd win is always in focus while executing individual or joint wins. Rest in comments. #leadership #change
