ABSTRACT
Abstract: The automobile is one of the most complex consumer products in world market today. Manufacturing a vehicle is one of the highest tech operations in the manufacturing sector. Much of the technology and concept employed in vehicle manufacturing constantly change to meet growing demand for rapidly changing technology, higher quality, and improved safety, reduced emission, fierce competition and improved energy efficiency in new vehicles. Due to these growing global demands, quality information is an important measure in quality decision-making, quality control, quality plan and it directly affects the quality of product, therefore quality information is an important resource. Welding process is common in manufacturing industry especially for car component assembling. In this study the authors discussed the basic theory of the welding process and the quality information flow in auto manufacturing processes. The internal and external inspection flow of the welding workshop and the specific information flow of the welding process were also discussed.
