QualPro Leadership Symposium

This seminar is available in industry specific versions:

Process Improvement for Manufacturing Processes (#1)
Process Improvement for Chemical Processes (#8)
Process Improvement for Paper Processes (#18)
Process Improvement for Apparel & Textile Processes (#19)

Simple statistical techniques can make processes dramatically more effective.

The Value of Attending This Three-Day Seminar
In most organizations virtually every employee can list several processes which continually cause wasted time and materials and poor product quality. Managers and workers are collecting reams of data regarding these processes but often fail to do anything meaningful that provides satisfactory results. Customers are unhappy, employees are frustrated, and profitability is anemic.

QualPro's 12-Step Procedure for Improving a Process© (which includes MVT^® experimentation) arms you with the ability to identify, prioritize, monitor, and control your problem processes. Using your process knowledge and our practical statistical problem-solving methods, you can gather useful information, analyze and interpret the data, modify your process accordingly, and measure the benefits of the improvements.

If you think of your ideal process output as the bull's-eye on a target and each unit of product as an arrow fired at that target, then there are only two reasons why you might miss the bull's-eye- either you are aiming the wrong way or you can't consistently control where the arrows go. This seminar shows you how to first gain control of your process arrows so they go where aimed and then to improve the aim of your process so that its results are a bull's-eye.

Introduction to MVT^® experimentation

Since 1982, QualPro has used Multivariable Testing (MVT®) with 1000+ companies to test 100,000+ improvement ideas. MVT® tests between 20 and 40 ideas simultaneously, accurately predicting the bottom-line impact of potential process changes in weeks. Take existing process initiatives, like Six Sigma, to a whole new level. All process improvement tools and approaches (TQM, DOE, Six Sigma, Re-Engineering, SPC) can be enhanced through the use of Multivariable Testing by QualPro.
