Abstract
Quality and price are the key components of market competitiveness of electrode products. Technology of welding electrode manufacturing is a complex multi-operation process, having a multitude of potential disturbance sources that should be suppressed to achieve the required quality of products at an affordable price. The article analyses traditional engineering-technical approaches, which should be applied in combination with management approaches used by our electrode manufacturers in practice in keeping with recommendations of ISO 9000:2000.
Keywords: welding electrodes, manufacturing technology, competitiveness of products, quality management
