Need to train a group of five or more? Consider on-site training.
This software-based course presents the two disciplines that cover the subject of process capability: the total capability of a stable process such as is captured by popular capability indexes (Cpk, Six Sigma, z-score); and the design and analysis of nested experiments, the purpose of which is to break the total capability into its component parts (test repeatability, reproducibility, part-to-part and various short-term and long-term sources). For maximum benefit, attendees should have a working knowledge of means, standard deviations and control charts. Familiarity with SPC is a requirement.
NOTE: MINITAB Software is used for class simulation.
Learning Objectives
Understand various expressions for process capability and when each is appropriate
Understand the various assumptions that go into making a capability statement useful and how to derive meaningful statements when assumptions are not met
Design and interpret a sources of variation study to "peel the onion" of process capability in order to point improvement efforts in the best direction
