Acceptance sampling is a widely used technique for the inspection of incoming and outgoing product. Sampling standards, such as ANSI/ASQ Z 1.4 for inspection by attributes, are used to select sample sizes. The sampling standards are based around the concept […]

Many R&D experimenters, design and development engineers and scientists, are using an OFAT (one-factor-at-a-time) approach to their experimental designs.  In addition to the issue of inefficiency (unnecessarily large number of experiments), this approach fails to identify often crucially important interaction […]

Calibration is a key component in all systems where instruments are used to collect measurements for the purpose of assessing the reliability and capability of manufacturing operations, testing products against specification in laboratories, and determining compliance with environmental and regulatory […]

 Print Many experimenters are using an OFAT (one-factor-at-a-time) approach to their experimental designs. In addition to the issue of inefficiency, this approach fails to identify often crucially important interaction effects among factors. There are available to experimenters advanced analytical tools […]

Failure Mode Effect Analysis is the primary tool used in industry to assess risk both at product design and development stage, and during manufacturing.  The overall objective of the analysis is to ensure that the product delivered to the customer […]

The calibration process, which is usually well operated in most organizations, does not provide all of the information required as to the health of the measurement process.  The calibration activity, crucially, does not provide information on the variability in the […]

All organisations, in both the manufacturing and service sectors, experience problems in their operations. The problems may be technical in nature, or may be people related; the problems may be detected within the manufacturing or service organisation or, more seriously, […]

Statistical process control (SPC) is essentially a combination of two different but directly linked statistical tools; (a) capability analysis, (b) control charts.  Capability analysis provides information on the ability of the process to meet specification; while control charts must be […]

This version of the three-day course includes Capability Analysis and Control Charts.  There is an alternative version, Statistics with Minitab (Incl. Regression Analysis), which includes Regression Analysis and Power of the Test. Much time and effort is devoted to the […]
