Multivariable Testing Techniques for Research and Development Processes (#4)

Research and development can produce faster, more dramatic results using powerful statistical techniques.

The Value of Attending This Five-Day Seminar
The traditional role for R&D has been to invent new technologies, products, and services and then search for a potential market for them. The thinking often was that if the R&D group develops something innovative and unique enough, then "someone" will want to buy it.

Well, we all know that the game has changed for R&D groups today. Products and services must be developed quickly and at a low cost. They must meet specific consumer expectations as well as provide some positive surprises. They must provide superior performance without consumers experiencing glitches. And existing products and services must be under constant review to find new ways to make them better or less expensive . . . without new capital expenditures.

To some R&D groups, these tasks seem impossible. However, a growing number of companies worldwide are accomplishing these tasks using powerful statistical tools. The mightiest of these tools, Multivariable Testing (MVT^®), allows extremely efficient testing of numerous ideas simultaneously. MVT^® allows you to shortcut the traditional learning curve and rapidly develop or improve products and services.

QualPro is the world's expert in process improvement and specifically in the use of MVT^®. Attending QualPro's Multivariable Testing Techniques for Research and Development seminar is a great start toward R&D results like you have never seen before.

Course Topics

Overall strategy for process improvement in R&D
Simple statistical tools and their application to R&D
Control, capability, and improvement of measurement systems
Fundamentals of Multivariable Testing
Application of MVT^® to R&D
The QualPro procedure for development of new products and processes

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.
