ENGINEERING TOOLS & METHODS
Who Should Attend This course is relevant to design and manufacturing engineers, researchers and those interested in cost reduction. This method- ology can link manufacturing to engineering design and help design engineering solve manufacturing problems. Prerequisites Participants should have a basic familiarity with engineering design. Topical Outline DAY ONE • Basics of Variation - unique problems facing engineers; small sample sizes and the inability to obtain random samples; techniques for overcoming these problems • Distributions −− Normal, Lognormal, and Weibull • Process Capability −− Measuring process capability −− Process capability indices −− Estimating process capability for design inputs • Robustness Concept −− Statistical bias that results from input variation in a non- linear system −− Modeling output variation −− Circuit exercise −− Projectile exercises • Simulation −− Determining the variability of the inputs −− Random number generators −− Verification & validation −− Simulation modeling DAY TWO • Minimizing the Variance of a Single Output −− Polynomial exercise • Identifying Critical Parameters −− Ranking the contribution to the output variation −− Identifying parameters that are constrained −− Pipe flow exercise • How to Model and Optimize Multiple Outputs −− Combustion exercise • Adding Cost to the Design Model −− Minimizing the total system cost including component, scrap and process costs −− Electronics exercise
Root Cause Problem Solving: Methods and Tools 8 Hours | Web Seminar I.D.# WB0931 Tough times require searching for things that we can change and making them better. But so often problems are solved with ‘band-aids’ and not root cause solutions. This approach is getting too expensive and at best only helps companies tread water. To combat these issues and adopt a fresh approach, teams can use the methods and tools of Root Cause Problem Solving to first view problems as opportunities for improvement, identify root causes and implement solutions to prevent recurrence. Benefits include improved quality and customer satisfaction, reduced operation costs, and greater employee knowledge of work processes. This proven 8-step approach to problem solving will help improve operational and financial performance by identifying causes and implementing solutions to significant or recurring problems. This approach to problem solving is used by many major automotive manufacturers. Learning Objectives By participating in this web seminar, you will be able to: • Describe the 8-Step Problem Solving Methodology • Define the difference between Symptom and Root Cause • Use tools and techniques to solve problems • Evaluate effectiveness of problems solving efforts • Describe the role of problem solving in continuous improvement • Write an action plan to apply problem solving to a specific concern Who Should Attend This course is applicable to those directly working in or responsible for performance improvement of any definable, repetitive process, e.g. manufacturing, design, logistics, purchasing, sales, or distribution, including: manufacturing managers, supervisors and team leaders; manufacturing engineers; design engineers; quality engineers and technicians; technical managers; project team leaders; problem solving and quality improvement facilitators; anyone whose role includes problem solving; therefore all supervisors and lead personnel.
