Advanced Process Improvement Techniques (#11)

With advanced techniques, you will get even better results from your process improvement efforts.

The Value of Attending This Three-Day Seminar
While most situations encountered in Steps 1-7 of QualPro's 12-Step Procedure are easily handled by the concepts learned in QualPro process improvement seminars, there may be times when more advanced techniques can be very useful.

You will sometimes run into situations where conventional control chart techniques don't quite apply to your process, such as results that are very seasonal or continuously trend up or down. And what about those borderline situations where you aren't quite sure whether your data are normally distributed, making it difficult to settle on subgroup size? Or how do you still learn from your data when you discover that they are autocorrelated? And is there a way to construct a single control chart that can be used for two related key measures? Can control charts be used to improve measurement systems? These circumstances may not occur every day, but can be terribly frustrating for the process improvement team that doesn't have the expertise to properly handle them.

QualPro's Advanced Process Improvement Techniques course will give you the ability to handle all these situations and more! With the help of an expert instructor, you will expand on your existing foundation of process improvement knowledge so that you can handle a wide range of process improvement conditions.

Don't let your process improvement efforts get sidetracked by special situations. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn advanced techniques which give you the guidance you need to stay on the path to breakthrough results.

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.
