Hi Harmon,
Welcome to the forum.
1)Does your facility have any applicable "welding codes" that governs the work that you guys do there?
2)If not what type of work is this that you will be trying to work up standards for?
3)Materials that will be welded? you mentioned Stainless Steel, any others?
4)Shapes of material? (plate, sheet metal, beam, channel, angle, pipe?)
5)Welding processes used to join the materials?(stick-SMAW, solid wire-GMAW, fluxcored wire-FCAW, Tig- GTAW, etc, etc.....)
