Statistical Process Control

COURSE ID : WGQS-002
AUTHOR: John J. Flaig
DURATION:   Three Days
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:   Technical and Operations Staff
DESCRIPTION

This Statistical Process Control seminar will teach the technical staff how to select the best control chart for any given process and data type and how to most effectively deploy it. This class has a wealth of information that is not available from any other single source.                                    

Dr. Flaig provides a robust set of guidelines for establishing control charts so that no key activity in the process is overlooked. This detailed procedure requires some effort to complete but is designed to assure that all aspects of control procedure location, selection, and deployment are seamless and that the results will conform to expectations. 

Instead of offering a vast collection of control procedures Dr. Flaig selected the “best” in terms of statistical and economic performance as well as ease of implementation and use. This makes the learning experience faster and more productive for the student. It also makes the deployment of these procedures easier so the student can get an easy win instead of a frustrating and time consuming experience.

All the most effective procedures are discussed both in theoretical and practice terms. In addition a list of the assumptions and implementation notes are provided for each procedure to help the practitioner through the implementation phase.

Elementary Statistical Process Control

COURSE ID : WGQS-002A
AUTHOR: John J. Flaig
DURATION:   One Day
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:   Managers and Operators
DESCRIPTION

This Statistical Process Control seminar will teach operators and managers the basics of statistical process control. The class is designed to provide basic knowledge and understanding of control charting, the assumptions that underlie control charts, and how to effectively use them.

 

Instead of offering a vast collection of confusing statistical procedures Dr. Flaig selected the “best” in terms of statistical and economic performance as well as ease of understanding, implementation and use. This makes the learning experience faster and more productive for the student. It also makes the deployment of these procedures easier so the student can get an easy win instead of a frustrating and time consuming experience.
