Duration 90 Mins
Level Intermediate
Webinar ID IQW19B0230

  • Variation & Quality
  • Process Stability/Statistical Process Control
  • Process Capability Assessment
  • Predictive Models (Regression & Design of Experiments)
  • Hypothesis Testing for Decision Making

  • Examples & Applications

Overview of the webinar

This webinar introduces important statistical concepts and methods for making objective decisions to ensure and improve product quality. The methods have many applications including:

  • Determining how well my process/product meets requirements
  • Knowing when a process or system is behaving consistently or differently than before
  • Uncovering which key inputs to my process affect product performance or customer satisfaction
  • Ensuring that I can effectively measure what I need to
  • Comparing groups of data when a random (natural) variation is present
  • Predicting future outcomes using a predictive model

The methods introduced include: Statistical Process Control, Process Capability Assessment, Regression Modeling, Design of Experiments, Hypothesis Testing, and Measurement Systems Assessment.  

Who should attend?

  • Quality Personnel
  • Manufacturing Personnel
  • Operations/Production Managers
  • Production Supervisors
  • Supplier Quality personnel
  • Quality Engineering 
  • Quality Assurance Managers, Engineers
  • Process or Manufacturing Engineers or Managers

Why should you attend?

Many companies are swimming in data yet raw data is mostly useless without methods to turn this data into useful and actionable information. Those individuals and companies that make the best use of the available data achieve a competitive advantage by optimizing their operations and making processor decisions. Companies that fail to take advantage of data are resigned to chasing rather than leading in this information age. This webinar provides a solid introduction of important statistical concepts and methods that are essential for making objective decisions related to product quality. Following the webinar, the participants will possess an understanding of the purpose and benefits of critical methods including:

  • Statistical Process Control
  • Process Capability Assessment
  • Regression Modeling
  • Design of Experiments
  • Hypothesis Testing
  • Measurement Systems Assessment
