Resource Highlight: PCA’s Pre-Fabrication Operations Guide for Plumbing

September 3, 2021

Each week, MCAA will highlight one or more of the educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership. This week, we focus on PCA’s Pre-Fabrication Operations Guide for Plumbing. This guide provides insight to help plumbing contractors build their fabrication capabilities. It also includes ideas and processes established fabricators can benchmark against.

The guide introduces the pre-fabrication concept and highlights the various aspects of implementing or fine-tuning fabrication operations:

  • Company Culture
  • Personnel
  • Productivity
  • Tools
  • Processes
  • Design
  • Technology
  • Shipping, Portability and the Yellow Label Agreement Supplemental Designs

Find the full range of plumbing-related resources in the PCA Resource Center, where you can use the blue Find A Resource bar to pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for.
