ARE YOU EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?
Experiencing a lot of variation in the quality of final product?
Wish you had predefined quality standards to ensure that individual processes are consistent?
Tossing or reworking product because of quality issues that should have been caught early in production?
Employees complain of quality issues but don't know how to pinpoint where the problems are?
Want employees to take more responsibility for their part in building quality into the product?
Wish you could save money by reducing waste and rework in your production operation?

…If the answer is "Yes," MMEC's Statistical Process Control training may be what you need.

COURSE INFORMATION
PREREQUISITE: Basic math skills.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course provides an introduction to statistical process control (SPC) and details on how a company can begin managing process variation by applying SPC principles. Participants will learn the importance of measuring and monitoring process output and variation to improve quality and achieve operational cost savings. Participants will learn about a variety of SPC tools that can be deployed to monitor process variation. Special emphasis will be placed on easy-to-use SPC tools such as Control Charts, Histograms, and Pareto analysis. Participants will be given an opportunity to gather statistical process data and put these tools to use as a part of short process simulations and process improvement exercises. This course will explore how SPC principles can be applied to all business processes, not just product processes. Participants will also learn how to motivate individuals and teams to cooperatively get involved in data collection, analysis and continuous improvement initiatives.

Monitor, manage and respond to process variation.
Apply basic statistical analysis to monitor process variation.
Gather SPC data quickly for immediate analysis.
Take corrective action when a process isn't produced within standards of variation.
Motivate individuals and teams to engage in SPC process improvement activities.
Build quality into your product at all points of the manufacturing process, rather than testing it at the end.

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE
Company owner, quality manager or manufacturing manager/supervisor/team leader.

COURSE LENGTH & FORMAT: 4 Hours; classroom presentation, short SPC simulation and group exercises, discussion, and Q&A.

CLASS SIZE GUIDELINES:
Public Event: 10 minimum
