Managing Change ? How New Materials Are Affecting Nondestructive Testing.

Posted by Elite Internet Technologies on December 23rd, 2015

The massive surge in new materials, technologies, chemistry, and other sciences has major ramifications for industry, particularly in the area of testing of all kinds. In the case of nondestructive testing, the required knowledge base is expanding exponentially.

The most obvious and immediate ramification of the new wave of materials is that testing methodologies must be updated and brought into compliance with new standards. It’s not quite as easy as it might sound. The requirement, obviously, is for a more or less ongoing range of management practices to deal with emerging technologies and materials.

Best practice for companies providing nondestructive testing services is to implement a program of training, and set up access to training as required. This training requires meticulous management of training programs to cover new nondestructive testing methodologies, documentation, testing procedures, and related matters.

It should be noted that training programs are also a very good way of retaining the knowledge base of testing companies, and upgrading skills and capacities. This is a win/win option, if implemented correctly.

 A good example of a nondestructive testing training provider is a company called Larson NDT Level III Services and Training, LLC. This company offers a comprehensive range of courses, nondestructive testing services, consultancy services, and practical assistance with formal nondestructive testing procedures. They are one of the most highly credentialed companies in the US in this field, and a very good benchmark for management when selecting training service providers.

One of the critical factors in this type of training is the clear requirement to meet operational business needs. As well as the obvious benefits of training, this company can provide high value practical solutions for managing business needs.

It is truly said “There’s nothing like having an expert in the house”, and when you have a built-in expert service on standby in any business, the benefits are ongoing. This is particularly the case in terms of managing compliance with testing standards, practical help with nondestructive testing, and, naturally, the benefits of experience.
