WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

This course will introduce the Taguchi design improvement technique. Attendees will gain hands-on application experience to design robust products and processes as well as solve production problems by reducing performance variations. The goal of this course is to prepare attendees for immediate performance improvement and variation reduction applications. Attendees will leave this course knowing how to plan and lay out experiments as well as interpret and analyze their results.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is intended to prepare attendees for immediate application. Product/Process Design Engineers, R&D Scientists, Project Managers, Manufacturing Managers, Senior Engineers, Black & Green Belts (Six Sigma), Quality and Product Assurance Specialists. 

SPECIAL FEATURES

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptops, although all course materials will be displayed on an LCD projector.
