Processes vary over time and there are a number of reasons for variation. Machines and tools wear. Operating conditions change. Materials vary from lot to lot. Varying environmental conditions have an impact. How the process is operated changes. Don’t forget the human factor. All these variations have more or less impact on the resulting product. Processes need to be continually analyzed to identify the key causes of variation and determine how those causes can be reduced if not eliminated.

In this seminar you will learn how to find problem sources and identify improvement opportunities by using methods such as:

Correlation and regression analysis

• Finding the “Red X”
• Capability studies
• Multi-variable analysis
  
  

Suggested audience: COO, production and assembly supervisors and managers, process engineers, quality engineers
