In today’s complex product manufacturing, the old approach to QC controls simply no longer apply. Using the traditional standards for
QC batch controls, etc to AQL target levels simply DO NOT guarantee steady Quality levels.
Processes are so much more complex now that a very detailed continuous measurement approach is required to monitor at component
failure level up to full product level. This requires very detailed process mapping and appropriate use of data to drive continual
improvement and utilize for predicting expected improvement in customer Early Life failure levels.
Course attendees will learn from a range of case studies used in training material how to set up most efficient forms of process
measurement and effective management.
Attendees will be given the Reliability Solutions calculation models used in the training to use in their own laptops during the education and in the group assignments.
The course provides a very structured and modern-day approach to process quality optimization and how to use data to predict
customer escape levels. This course will allow some excellent benchmarking with other top company approaches and teaches how to
implement from bottom up.
Participants will walk away with the ability to:
- Determine how to set up your process control measurements and used of data
- Introduction into using the most effective 6 sigma tools`
- Using Target setting to drive continual improvement
- Using in process measurements to manage suppliers and remove need for incoming inspection
- Understanding how to use process data for predicting factory escape rates to customer
- Apply DOE to optimize complex parts of the process
- Making OQA less critical and minimizing dependence on Quality ‘catching’ all the defects
- Controlling New Product Introduction
- Driving COST REDUCTION through savings
- Reliability Solutions calculation models that can be instantly applied in your own environments
