Continuous Improvement Training

 

You will learn the fundamentals of statistical process control, capability analysis, root-cause analysis and other variation reduction techniques. Candidates will participate in hand -on activities and develop projects within their companies that lead to direct implementation of methods that result in cost savings.  

  • Seminar 1: Continuous Improvement using Statistical Process Control

    -Foundation for Variation Reduction-Linking Process Variables with Critical Product Attributes-Quantifying Variation-Sampling Manufacturing Processes-Control Charts for Data-Statistical Tolerance (% Out of Spec)-Descriptive Statistics-Taguchi Loss Function-Correlation Analysis-Gage R & R  
  • Seminar 2: Advanced Statistical Methods and Data Mining-Autocorrelation-Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) & EWMA control charts-Control chart for Coefficient of Variation-Confidence Intervals-Significance Testing-Decision Trees-Data Mining (Neural Networks, Partial Least Squares, etc.)
