Sheet metal assembly is the process of putting together pieces of sheet metal to form a finished product. There are various ways of assembling sheet metal. However, the method used is not as important as the technique applied to assembly. The wrong technique could effect the whole outcome of the product.

When assembling sheet metal is it essential to make sure every step is carried out in a uniform manner. Any variance could make the final outcome different. Something ass simple as welding clamps in a different order could greatly changed the outcome, making two products that are supposed to be identical, different.

There has to be a mandatory step by step process for sheet metal assembly. Each product needs to be assembled in an identical fashion. There is no room for error. Sheet metal is not forgiving when a mistake is made and mistakes can be costly. A whole line of products may have to scraped if procedure is not followed.

Variances of any kind in the sheet metal assembly process can yield bad results. When procedures are not followed both time and money are lost. The end result is mayhem that could have simply been avoided had a step by step plan been enacted. It is furthermore essential that all employees follow the same procedure so products do not differ form shift to shift, this is especially true of large orders which will run through numerous shifts and perhaps numerous workers. Final products may not be exact carbon copies, as some error is okay, but huge variances could add up to big loss.
