Feedback from the meeting of the Chairmen of Working Units in January 2006 included constructive comments on the previous IIW Business Plan and its implementation. In particular, it was felt that the previous Business Plan had been drawn up by the IIW Board of Directors and not communicated effectively to the Working Units for implementation. It was recommended that all IIW Administrative and Working Units should be involved in the future planning and implementation process. A process of involvement of, and consultation with, all IIW Units in the development, finalization and implementation of all appropriate plans has been followed. The IIW Board of Directors delegated the IIW President and CEO with this responsibility. This edition provides a unified strategic plan, presented at the Technical Management Board level that is applicable to every technical working unit. The working units are specifically defined by their terms of reference. Based on the IIW Mission, Goals, SWOT analysis, needs and benefits required by stakeholders the following approach has resulted: • The IIW Board of Directors has developed a Strategic Plan with five Goals. The achievement of these Goals has been delegated as follows; one each, to the i) TMB; ii) IAB; iii) WG Regional Activities; iv) WG Communications and Marketing v) WG Standardization and vi) Secretariat, respectively. • Each Goal in the Board of Director’s Strategic Plan, therefore, becomes the Goal for each of the Units mentioned above. Each of these Units has four Objectives to achieve to meet their respective Goal with each Objective having a number of strategies to achieve it. These are shown in a ‘Plan on a Page’ format.. • The Technical Management Board (TMB) also has the Working Units (Commissions, Select Committees and Study Groups) reporting through to it. Each Working Unit has the same Goal and four Key Objectives applying to it, as shown for the TMB, but may have different strategies to achieve each of these Objectives. • Each Study Group and Select Committee has its own unique Goal, Objectives and Strategies, but linked back to the TMB Strategic Plan. If feasible, it may have been convenient to adopt the same Goal and Objectives as the TMB. 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 5 • As a special case, Commission XIV “Education and Training” has had its Strategic Plan dovetailed in with that of the IAB. Commission XIV provides the link between all the other Working Units (Commissions, Study Groups and Select Committees) and the IAB. • Each IIW Unit has thus created a Strategic ”Plan on a Page” layout. This includes the Unit’s Goal, four Objectives to achieve that Goal and the strategies that are in place to achieve each Objective. • Based on the Unit’s Strategic ”Plan-on-a-Page”, an operational action plan has been drawn up to show how the Unit will achieve the Objectives. 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 6 The IIW Organization Organization of Technical Working Units Human Factors • Terminology • Health, Safety and Environment • Education and Training • Research, Strategy and Collaboration • Quality Management Industrial Applications • Pressure Vessels, Boilers and Pipelines Joining Processes • Thermal Cutting and Surfacing • Filler Materials • Resistance and Solid State Welding • Power Beam Processes • Arc Welding Processes • Polymer Joining and Adhesives • Brazing, Soldering and Diffusion Bonding • Automotive and Road Transport • Shipbuilding • Aircraft Engineering • Microjoining • Civil engineering • Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals Structural Integrity • Quality Control and Quality Assurance • Behaviour of Materials Subjected to Welding • Fracture Avoidance • Fatigue of Components and Structures • Design, Analysis and Fabrication • Physics of Welding • Micro- and Nano-joining 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 7 The IIW Mission To act as the worldwide network for knowledge exchange of joining technologies to improve the global quality of life.

The Commission focuses on thermal cutting and allied processes (e.g. thermal spraying) especially with respect to a better scientific understanding and practical applications of these processes. Scientific and technical contributions by Commission members give attention to process modelling, mechanical properties of the end-products and production planning. In addition, thermal cutting and thermal spraying equipment are continuously being reviewed and monitored. Recently, the main emphasis has been on laser cutting, especially in relation to the newest developments in fibre laser cutting and remote laser cutting. C-II Arc welding and Filler Metals Commission II identifies, develops and transfers scientific and technical information, possibly leading to International Standards or best practices, with respect to Arc Welding and Filler Metals. Its principal areas of focus include the metallurgy of weld metal (e.g. Hydrogen in weld metal, chemical reactions, constitution of weld metal and weld metal cracking), as well as the testing and measurement of welds (e.g. ferrite in high-alloyed weld metal, corrosion testing and testing of weld metal for hot cracking and microfissuring). It is also involved in standardization of welding consumables, including the coordination of the evaluation of ISO standards which are under Systematic Review, assuming responsibility for appropriate testing standards and conducting round-robin tests as may be required in support of the general work programme. These activities have greatly contributed to the understanding, acceptance, classification and adequate use of welding consumables. C-III Resistance welding, solid state welding and allied joining processes Commission III provides a unique forum for open discussion, where highly-competent international experts exchange scientific and technical information and transfer knowledge about resistance welding, solid state welding and allied joining processes. 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 30 In recent years, topics have included joining of dissimilar thin sheet materials, joining in automotive industries, computer simulation of joining processes and friction stir welding, including both modelling and weldability. The Working Unit also assists in the formulation and preparation of new International Standards, with a view to encouraging and supporting a safe, healthy and environment-friendly world. C-IV Power Beam Processes Commission IV operates like a “think tank” for scientists, engineering and technical personnel who are involved in the research, development and application of power beam processing technologies including laser, laser-hybrid and electron beam welding processes. These processes are in a continuous state of rapid development and advancement as new technologies and innovations offer a nearly unlimited array of welding, joining and processing opportunities. Technical and scientific presentations by Commission members give attention to new processes, process modelling, mechanical properties of end-products and environmental health and safety. The Commission is especially active in the study of the application of power beam processes to novel and otherwise difficult-to-weld materials like high-strength steels, specialty stainless steels, light alloys, dissimilar materials and coated products. C-V Quality Control and Quality Assurance of Welded Products Commission V has the challenging task of monitoring, reviewing and contributing to all international standardization activities related to non-destructive testing (NDT) and evaluation of welded structures. The Commission has specialist groups devoted to the following fields: radiographic weld inspection; ultrasonic weld inspection; electric, magnetic and optical weld inspection; and NDT reliability including simulation. Recent successes of the Commission include major contributions to ISO standards dealing with metal magnetic memory, major contributions to simulation of NDT technique as applied to probability of detection studies, the beginning of the process of guided wave ultrasonic testing standardization, and the completion of the IIW Phased Array Handbook. The Commission also seeks to impact and develop training and qualification programmes for NDT personnel. 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 31 C-VI Terminology Commission VI is responsible for the development, collection and maintenance of welding terminology using modern computer database software, with capability for multiple languages. Terminology is obtained from existing international, regional and national standards in order to avoid duplication of work, and is made available in print or electronic media. C-VIII Health, Safety and Environment Health, Safety and Environment are considered key issues for the international welding community; hence the reason why Commission VIII was created since the foundation of IIW in 1948. The Commission is mainly devoted to the study of the phenomena occurring during welding which may potentially affect the health and safety of welders and the environment, as well as to the development of technical guidance for the correct management of the fabrication process. To reach this ambitious goal, members have a wide range of expertise, including medicine, epidemiology, chemistry, welding science and technology; consequently the Commission also acts as an international forum for exchange of high level knowledge with the support of members coming from all the areas of the world, including Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. The Commission’s activities include standardization, production of Best Practices and IIW statements on specific matters (e.g. IIW Statement on Lung Cancer and Arc Welding in 2011), as well as the review of international research and national regulations on the respective issues. C-IX Behaviour of metals subjected to welding The focus of Commission IX encompasses the various types of metals behaviour subjected to welding and the resulting influence on the integrity of welded joints and components during service. Strategically, weldability and the service integrity of joined components are regarded as interactions of the material with the introduced loading and the specific design. The scientific and technological work in Commission IX is focused on metallic materials, i.e. is based on the metallurgy of welded joints, covering their microstructure, properties and performance. Special emphasis is given to the occurrence and avoidance of imperfections, damages and failures during welding production and manufacturing, as well as during service of welded joints and components. These particularly include hot and cold cracking, high and low temperature, as well as aqueous and gaseous corrosion of welds, creep and fatigue. The Working Unit has four Sub-Commissions, focussing on the various steel types, CRAs and on non-ferrous metals, all having a respective working programme. Due to the large variety of metals and their interactions with the design and welding processes, the 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 32 Commission collaborates with all other Commissions oriented towards welding processes or structural design. C-X Structural performances of welded joints - Fracture avoidance Commission X aims to establish a procedure for assessing the strength and integrity of welded structures in design as well as in service with known or assumed flaws, where attention is paid to the role and influence of welding residual stresses, strength mismatch between base and weld metals, and heterogeneity in toughness of welds. Recent activity has focused on the development of a practical guideline for Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessment for welded components containing a flaw and damage. Commission X FFS includes stress/strain-based assessment, constraint analysis and fracture toughness testing procedure for welds. With further development of FFS for welds, Commission X faces the challenge of advanced design of transport vehicles and infrastructures such as energy plants, pipelines, bridges and buildings constructed with high performance steels and high welding technologies. C-XI Pressure vessels, boilers and pipelines Commission XI and its sub-Commissions deal with any aspects of pressure vessels and pipelines that can be impacted by welding throughout their life cycle. Commission XI brings together a unique mix of regulators, fabricators, researchers, owners, material suppliers and contractors. This group often collaborates with other IIW Technical Commissions to apply their work toward the design, fabrication, life prediction and failure prevention of components, vessels and pipelines. C-XII Arc welding processes and production systems Commission XII focuses on arc welding processes and production systems for promoting better practical applications in various industrial fields. Scientific and technical contributions by Commission members emphasize sensors and process control, advanced arc welding process and underwater welding, production systems and applications, as well as quality control and safety of arc processes. Together with Study Group-212, the Commission works to establish more reliable welding and joining technologies with higher productivities through deep understanding of the physical phenomena governing the arc welding processes. 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 33 C-XIII Fatigue of Welded components and Structures Technical presentations and discussions in Commission XIII focus on new scientific results and the application of innovative technologies to avoid fatigue failures in welded structures. The Working Unit is currently developing several new science-based guidelines that can be applied to challenging design and life extension cases, e.g., “IIW Guideline for the Assessment of Weld Root Fatigue” and “Retrofitting Engineering for Fatigue Damaged Steel Bridge Structures.” Together with SC-QUAL, the Commission is developing “IIW Guidelines on Weld Quality in Relationship to Fatigue Strength.” A guideline for post-weld fatigue strength improvement of welded structures in high-strength steel and for implementing high frequency mechanical impact treatment as a means of improving the fatigue strength of demanding welded components and structures is also being developed. The experts that contribute to Commission XIII have developed a strong network, combining the interests of leading global companies and major international universities and research institutes. Industries which benefit from Commission XIII publications include shipbuilding, air and rail transportation, bridges and infrastructure, offshore, automotive, mechanical engineering and process equipment. C-XIV Education and Training Commission XIV very actively examines ways to improve the shortage of certified welders worldwide. There are some universal issues involving qualified instructors and qualified students. At the same time, this Working Unit has also prioritized the enhancement of the image of welding. Member Countries are invited to submit their training resources to be shared amongst all ANBs and consequently, to all Member Country ATBs. This will advance the promotion of standardization and also avoid duplication, as well as assist new ANBs and developing countries in particular. This approach is geared to become a key strategy, to be included in the Best Practices section of the Commission’s Strategic Plan. C-XV Design, Analysis and fabrication of welded structures Commission XV comprises experts from several disciplines related to the design, analysis and fabrication of welded structures, including buildings, bridges, offshore structures and equipment, built of structural steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. The Commission is organized into six sub-commissions: Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Planar Structures (buildings and bridges), Tubular Structures (both onshore and offshore), and Economy, forming a matrix to facilitate exchange between specific technical topics and their applications in welded structures. In 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 34 addition, there is a key effort to facilitate the exchange of information and possible harmonization regarding the national standards used for welded structures. Recent Commission activities have focused on design guidelines for welded structures subjected to seismic, impact or blast loads, weld design and the welding of high strength structural steels, advanced welding processes in the fabrication of structural steel, fabrication quality requirements including the influence of flaws, welding residual stresses and distortion measurement, weld joint preparation standards, structural repair guidelines, and optimization and economy factors in design and fabrication. The Commission has cooperated closely with industry groups in preparing design guidelines for welded joints in tubular structures subjected to both static loading and fatigue, with responsibility for two ISO standards on these topics. The Commission works closely with Commission XIII regarding fatigue effects upon welded structures, with a Joint Working Group and frequent joint meetings to facilitate the exchange of such information. It also cooperates with the other IIW working groups when their areas of activity have direct influence upon fabrication or performance of welded structures. C-XVI Polymer joining and adhesive technology Commission XVI is a Working Unit which focuses on the areas of polymer joining and adhesive technology. Both of these fields are dedicated to series production which necessitates high automation levels. It provides an interesting forum for high level discussions among the world´s leading scientists, who represent the very small scientific communities involved in these spheres of materials joining. Developments over the past years have increased the importance of polymer joining and adhesive technology with modern hybrid materials and fibre-reinforced plastics. C-XVII Brazing, soldering, and diffusion bonding Commission XVII is a relatively new Working Unit formed during 2009. It comprises experts and delegates from several disciplines related to the metallurgical and mechanical property characterization of brazed, soldered or diffusion bonded materials/components/joints. In addition new filler materials are discussed and evaluated. The Commission currently solicits contributions to fulfil its work programme which includes ceramic to ceramic and ceramic to metal brazing, wide gap brazing, brazing and diffusion bonding in microsystems, brazing of intermetallics, repair brazing, laser brazing, brazing of Al and Ti-based alloys, surface brazing, NDT of brazed and diffusion bonded joints, applications of vacuum brazed and diffusion bonded joints, development of new brazing filler metals, testing methods of brazed and diffusion bonded joints (i.e. tensile, shear, stress rupture, bending, corrosion and erosion, etc.), low temperature brazing, weld/brazing (for e.g. MIG brazing in use in the automotive industry), and diamond and superabrasive joining. An updated work programme for soldering and diffusion bonding is being developed. 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 35 SC-AUTO Select Committee Automotive and Road transport Members of Select Committee - Automotive and Road Transport (SC-AUTO) present and discuss on new scientific results and the application of new technologies and materials concerning joining in the automotive industry, including heavy trucks. It seeks to examine how joining methods can improve product properties and fabrication conditions in order to improve vehicle safety, while reducing the negative impact of vehicles on the environment and, at the same time, decrease vehicle assembly costs. The main aim is to give a comprehensive overview of the activities of IIW Commissions in materials joining in the automotive industry. Therefore, the documents discussed include most of the joining processes (e.g. resistance spot welding, GMAW, laser beam welding, stud welding, adhesive bonding, etc.) and a large variety of materials (e.g. AHSS, aluminium, magnesium, CRP, etc.). The experts who contribute to SC-AUTO have developed a strong international network, combining the interests of leading global automotive companies and suppliers, major international universities and research institutes. SC-MICRO Research developments and applications in microand nano-joining technologies The Select Committee-MICRO (SC-MICRO) was recently established (2010-2011) to address the rapidly expanding research developments in the fields of micro- and nano-joining technologies. This SC provides a unique international forum for exchange of know-how, discussion of research results, case studies and implementation in industry of micro- and nano-joining techniques. The SC aims to promote knowledge exchange on the latest progress in micro- and nano-joining research, particularly with respect to materials and process issues. General trends in micro-joining and especially nano-joining research for integration and assembly of micro- and nano-scale devices and systems are reviewed, and awareness about recent developments in micro- and nano-joining research and applications is promoted. Special attention is given to new industrial sectors (MEMS, medical implants, nanoscale devices and systems, etc.) which are not significantly emphasized in other IIW Working Units. 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 36 SC-QUAL Quality Management in welding and allied processes SC-QUAL focuses on quality management and the requirements for personnel involved in welding and allied processes. It also develops guidelines on the implementation of standards, as for example, ISO 3834 “Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.” At present, SC-QUAL members discuss the minimum requirements for welding qualification test examiners and the requirements for welding coordinators. SC-QUAL has also collected information which gives a global overview of quality management systems used in different fields of applications. In collaboration with Commission XIII, the experts of SC-QUAL are currently working on the link between the quality imperfections of ISO 5817 and the fatigue strength of a weld or welded structure, to give guidance to the designers as well as to NDT personnel for evaluation. The Working Unit also cooperates with Commission VIII on health, safety and environment issues, with the aim of developing arguments for management personnel of companies in order to improve the awareness of the advantages of implementing health and safety policies. SC-QUAL is always interested in undertaking new tasks which will improve the exchange of knowledge between technical experts, quality managers and production personnel by using welding and allied processes. Thus, SC-QUAL acts as an interdisciplinary body for the IIW. SC-SHIP Shipbuilding The Select Committee-Shipbuilding (SC-SHIP) has a long history of developing a successful network between welding experts and shipyards. The primary focus of SC-SHIP is to help shipbuilders enhance quality, operations and productivity. This is accomplished by increasing interaction among shipbuilders, welding research engineers, technical universities, specialists from welding supply companies and automated systems organizations. The unique challenges of shipbuilding are acknowledged and embraced. SC-SHIP also seeks to recognize and support the human element essential to proper implementation of welding technologies and advantaged production systems, considering such areas as modern management, production organization and human resources. SG-212 The Physics of Welding The aim of Study Group-The Physics of Welding (SG-212) is to collect, discuss and provide science-based solutions for the mechanisms of arc and fusion welding, in order to control and improve weld quality and productivity. The Working Unit achieves this by focusing on the profound understanding of the welding arc, metal transfer and the weld pool via experimentation and modelling, comprehension of boundary phenomena between the electrode, arc plasma and the 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 37 weld pool, and the exchange of information and development of useful simulation software for digital manufacturing. SG-RES Welding research strategy and collaboration The principal aim of Study Group-Research (SG-RES) is to analyse the development of welding research around the world. This is carried out by presentations from the countries involved, usually two per year, and a round table discussion where participants offer contributions related to the development of welding research in their respective countries (topics addressed, funding, major projects, etc.). In this way, critical feedback is collected regarding how topics of industrial interest and support for research in welding and allied techniques are progressing in the participants’ countries. These round tables facilitate the exchange of ideas and discussions on strategy development. SG-RES also supports events for researchers to discuss their work, including new topics and the most recent results, methods and best practice solutions like the Welding Schools which have been organized since 2011. 3/22/2013 IIW Business Plan 2013 page 38 IIW Resources The following information outlines the resources available within IIW: Human resources • Working Units (Commissions, Select Committees and Study Groups), that are working on a voluntary system and at a pace that is mainly dependant on the capacity of their Chairmen and members to attend meetings and prepare information. • The Member Societies, which have the role to organise and control the National Delegations. • The Board of Directors and its Administrative Units. • The responsibilities of the various groups are listed at the end of this document. • The IIW Secretariat led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). • The IIW Secretariat permanent staff represents a capacity of four persons per year.

The Business Plan is the roadmap to success, but without a clear purpose and goals, an organization can quickly founder and be lost. If the Business Plan is the roadmap, the definition of the Mission, Goals, Objectives, and Strategies are the compass. The key to an effective Business Plan is to state the Mission, Goals, Objectives, and Strategies in measurable terms that can be clearly understood by someone unfamiliar with the organization. If a stranger can understand the stated intentions, then it is certain that the stakeholders, employees, board of directors, and/or customers will also understand why the business or organization exists, and what to expect from it. Communication Communication is the process of sharing information. Goal Goals should be directed towards a vision and consistent with the mission. Something the IIW wants and expects to accomplish in the future. Marketing Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders. Mission The mission is a statement of general purpose, the reason why the IIW exists. Objective An objective is a specific measurable result expected within a particular time period, consistent with a goal and strategy. A clear "milepost" along the strategically chosen path to the goal. Promotion Promotion in a marketing sense is a term referring to methods of bringing a product to public attention, including advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, and publicity Generally, promotion is communicating with the public in an attempt to influence them toward buying your products and/or services. How does promotion differ from advertising? Promotion is the broader, all inclusive term. Advertising is just one specific action you could take to promote your product or service. Promotion, as a general term, includes all the ways available to make a product and/or service known to and purchased by customers and clients. Strategy 3/22/2013 The action path the IIW has chosen to realize goals. Strategies establish broad themes for future actions and should reflect reasoned choices among alternative paths.
