Effective Problem Solving – Workshop
In this workshop, we learn how our mind reacts to problems, different ways to view problems and apply both qualitative and quantitative tools using a proven industry standard process:
1. Problem Identification
2. Problem Containment
3. Failure Mode Analysis
4. Root Cause Analysis
5. Corrective and Preventative Actions
Advanced Product Quality Planning – Workshop
Participants in the ‘Advanced Product Quality Planning’ workshop use a novel Business Card exercise to outline five major industry standards:
1. Quality Planning and Control Plans
2. Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
3. Measurement Systems Analysis
4. Statistical Process Control and Process Capability
5. Production Part Approval Process.
Process Validation Statistics Tutorial
This tutorial is based on a case study around a manufacturing team that need to validate their process meets the requirements and illustrates the statistical techniques used by manufacturing engineers during process validation:
1. Distribution Analysis,
2. Statistical Process Control,
3. Process Capability,
4. Design of Experiments,
5. Measurement Systems Analysis and
6. Sampling Plans.
How to make statistics Sweet?
By applying basic statistical techniques to data on weight, colour and quality we take everyday items such as candy and transform them into a powerful learning experience to better understand our work and make ‘statistics’ fun!
How to develop and analyse Surveys too?
Surveys are conducted to obtain valuable information, help benchmark and make comparisons or to identify improvement opportunities. This workshop outlines how to develop and analyse surveys using a web based tool. Come and see how to easily create effective and professional looking on-line surveys.
How to determine the correct Sample Size?
We use sampling plans based on statistical standards to make a decision about acceptance. This workshop shows how acceptance sampling plans provide the consumer with protection against poor quality and provide the producer with an appropriate method of surveillance.
How to demonstrate your process is in control?
Statistics provide objective, graphical and descriptive information about data in a timely way to make better and informed decisions. Control Charts use statistical techniques to chart time-sequenced data to identify any trends or unusual observations so that you can monitor, control and improve performance.
How to demonstrate your process is capable?
Process capability is a measure of how capable a process is in relation to satisfying the customer requirements. Capability analysis is a two stage process that involves determining whether a process is in control through control charts and then comparing the process performance to specification limits.
How to simplify Reliability Engineering!
Reliability studies are used to demonstrate that products meet their quality goals and to verify the acceptability of a design. This tutorial covers how to manage your data, identify the appropriate distribution, conduct distribution analysis and provide warranty projections into the future.
How to manage Data?
Since the ancient times, people all have been collecting records. Since then we have sought ways to use data and transform it into useful information to improve their lives and businesses. Let us show you how to manage your data using simple functions, filters, tables and charts.
Can you trust your data?
Measurement systems are integral to monitoring and controlling process parameters, components and product characteristics. This workshop provides an overview of measurement systems analyses to evaluate precision and accuracy of a measurement system.
The Six Thinking Hats
Created by Edward De Bono is a tool for productive, critical and creative thinking switching between views and attitude. In this workshop, we use a funny video and the Six Hats to help people think more clearly by directing their attention in one direction at a time.
Continuous Improvement
In this workshop we use ‘Kaizen Toast’ to demonstrate how to conduct a ‘5S’ Audit (Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardise, Sustain) and apply ‘Lean’ principles to reduce waste across your business (Defects, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overprocessing, Overproduction).
The Magnificent Seven
Ishikawa proposed that most quality problems can be solved with just seven tools. In this tutorial we cover each tool: Histogram, Check Sheet, Pareto Chart, Cause and Effect, Stratification, Scatter Plot and Control Charts.
