STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL II (SPC 2)
(Using Microsoft® Excel)
   
iNTRODUCTION :
 
"Reduce those boring and tedious tasks to just a few clicks of a button on the computer keyboard. Automate charting to improve on accuracy and speed. Spend more time analyzing what your data is telling you about the process and take corrective actions.. These are some advantages this course has over traditional SPC course."
 

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a worldwide standard and a proven technique used extensively in the manufacturing and service industry, especially for process control and quality improvement initiatives. This training program is a follow-up program from SPC 1. It provides the principles and concepts of Statistical Process Control (SPC) that is so vital to Quality Improvement programs in the industry. It demonstrates the power of proven techniques to assist with problem solving and process control. This SPC 2 course emphasizes on advanced control charting, Process Capability Study, Hypothesis testing and Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GageR&R) techniques.

What differentiates this training program from “traditional” SPC course is that it helps to “accelerate” the participant’s learning curve. By utilizing the common computer spreadsheet techniques, we can reduce meticulous tasks such as tedious calculations, graphing and searching of statistical tables into just “a few easy clicks of buttons on the computer keyboard”. By doing so, it allows participants more time to focus on fundamental analysis and results oriented rather than activities oriented.


Computerized simulation techniques are also used throughout the course to will help explain the workings of statistics and reveals the power of SPC techniques to assist with problem solving and process control. This training program combines various teaching methods (group discussions, case studies, demonstration, computer simulations, etc) that will definitely help accelerate and reinforce the participant’s understanding of the control charts functionalities with an emphasis on participation throughout. This training program is a must for those who are serious about acquiring Statistical Process Control skills using an effective and accelerated learning method.

NOTE: Value-add MS Excel working templates will be given to participants after completion of this course. These working templates can save participants hundreds of hours in creating charts and building tables. With this valuable tool, participants can transfer all that is taught into their workplace immediately.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the course, participants will..

  • Understand the overall concepts, principles and methods using “Statistical Process Control” as an important tool in performing Quality Control activities.
  • Identify practical opportunities to conduct Process Capability Studies.
  • Utilizing statistical hypothesis testing to further reduce variability
  • Understand gauge variability
  • Sharpen the skills to quickly construct control charts using the computer spreadsheet software.
  • Acquire the knowledge of analyzing various types of control charts and its patterns.

**SPECIAL NOTE ** :

1). Computer spreadsheet program will be utilized throughout the course to demonstrate the power of the tools used and to significantly reduce the time required for calculation and graphing activities. Participant with prior knowledge of basic computer spreadsheet (e.g. MS Excel: using formula, edit graphs, printing, etc) will help complement the accelerated learning objectives of this course. MS Excel working templates will also be provided to equip participants for immediate transfer of training to their workplace

If the participant would like to have prior training on Microsoft® Excel basics before attending this course, please click here to find out more.

2). Class setup must include making computers preloaded with MS Excel 2000 (and above) licensed software available for participants to work.
