Course Overview

This course offers applications of the Statistics techniques that are an integral part of the corporate-wide Process control & improvement effort using Minitab Software. Participants are introduced to the concept of variation and how it can be used as a powerful tool in process control activities. The course also provides practical learning of measuring systems for accuracy, reproducibility, repeatability, and when SPC is appropriate. Types of control charts include Xbar-R, X-moving R, P, C, nP, and U charts.The Shewhart analysis is presented via examples and understanding of the statistical significance of each out-of-control condition.
