This 6-hour virtual seminar includes a presentation of the steps and
techniques used to quantify variability in manufacturing processes, and
to assure quality products.
The concepts and information presented
will be mainly concerned with statistical process control: obtaining
monitoring information (data) that is objective, unbiased, and useful
for decision making. An emphasis will be placed on the set-up and use
of control charts.
The objective of the seminar is to provide information that can be used immediately by personnel involved in production operations, and by supervisors and management in decision making. Although the presentation involves use of statistical techniques, presentation of statistical theory will be limited to only what is needed by the attendees to understand and implement processes and monitoring tools within the statistical framework.
Presented examples will include an emphasis on the manufacturing processes and quality assurance needs of product in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.
Process control is constantly evolving. Therefore, historical concepts, current trends and regulatory requirements will be discussed. The presentation of statistical charts and analyses, graphical techniques for planning, trouble-shooting and problem solving will also be presented.
All processes exhibit intrinsic variation. However, sometimes the variation is excessive and this hinders the ability to achieve reliable measurements and desired results. Statistical process control (SPC) allows us to control the functions of our processes (input) by providing tangible monitoring tools.
Process control is important for a company's reputation. A good system of processing and checks reduces costs associated with production waste and re-work due to defects, and allows a company to deliver products that are high in quality. Many industries are also required to have a good process management system in place to achieve compliance with regulatory authorities.
This seminar will provide attendees with the statistical tools necessary to monitor processes to ensure the quality of manufactured products. Ms. Eisenbeisz will make use of Minitab software in her presentation.
