In today's competitive manufacturing landscape, coating quality is crucial for product reliability, aesthetics, and corrosion resistance. Despite advancements in machining and fabrication, Indian manufacturing faces challenges in coating processes due to recurring defects, process instability, inadequate surface preparation, and insufficient root cause analysis.

This intensive program focuses on understanding paint and powder coating defects, their causes, prevention methods, and process improvement. It combines technical fundamentals, real industry case studies, and best practices from top manufacturing organisations. The training emphasises operational excellence through process discipline and continuous improvement. Participants will gain hands-on experience in identifying coating failures, improving transfer efficiency, reducing rework, and establishing quality systems in paint-shop operations.

The program methodology includes interactive classroom sessions, defect sample analysis, videos, case-study discussions, group activities, practical troubleshooting techniques, and experience sharing from industrial applications. The objective is to ensure that participants can immediately apply the learning within their own manufacturing environments.

This program is recommended for Paint Shop Engineers, Production Engineers, Quality Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, Process Planning Engineers, Supervisors, Application Specialists, and Technical Personnel involved in painting and powder coating operations.

The program will benefit professionals from Automobile & Auto Ancillaries, Aerospace, Defense, Railways, General Engineering, Capital Goods, Consumer Durables, Fabrication Industries, and all organisations involved in surface finishing and coating applications.

The sessions are designed to be highly interactive with practical discussions, problem-solving exercises, case studies, and participant engagement.

The program will be conducted by Mr. Chandar Shekharr, a seasoned manufacturing excellence consultant and technical trainer with extensive industry experience in operational excellence, process improvement, lean manufacturing, quality systems, and manufacturing capability development.

Mr. Chandar Shekharr, is a graduate Engineer with a master’s in manufacturing management. Worked as business head for almost 15 years in the surface protection industry – built processes, machinery, and manpower skill base. He has also successfully worked with organisations across engineering, automotive, textile, and manufacturing sectors in areas such as Lean Implementation, 5S, TPM, Productivity Improvement, Quality Management, Root Cause Analysis, Workforce Capability Building, and Manufacturing Transformation. The sessions are delivered with a strong practical orientation, combining shop-floor realities with world-class manufacturing practices to ensure maximum value creation for participants.
