| COURSE ID : WGQS-101 |
| AUTHOR: Fernando Perez |
| DURATION: Two Days |
| WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Technical and Operations Staff |
| DESCRIPTION |
|
This Design of
Experiments seminar will teach the technical staff a high impact
methodology for process improvement. The calculations are deliberately
kept simple and comprehensible.
This
is an innovative course that is built upon a proven DOE procedure for
process improvement. Exercises are based on a simple to use DOE
software. Participants are allowed to use Minitab as an optional tool.
Participants will learn an effective experimental design methodology to
reduce process variation and improve process capability with minimum
resources in a teamwork environment.
Every participant will
apply the basic DOE techniques in a Windows based computer with
computer simulations for those that wish to learn more about DOE
with hands-on exercises.
The computer simulations are designed to teach you how to use the DOE software giving
the confidence necessary to use the methods learned immediately upon
returning to work. |
