Overview
A Workshop that focus on the Implementation of Effective and Efficient application of Statistical process control to improve productivity and quality of production process. A clear and detailed implementation plan will be set up to ensure the proper implementation and also the value of SPC application. Continuous Improvement element in SPC application is fully emphasized in this training.
Course Objectives
- Identify the best control chart for each process situation.
- How to design and construct a basic control chart.
- Understanding trends and movements, interpreting and reacting to your control chart.
- Properties of normal distribution – mean, standard deviation and its relevance to process capability, Cp and Cpk.
- Ensure successful SPC implementation with people support.
Course Outline
In this step-by-step, hands-on SPC workshop, you will learn:
- The purposes and value of SPC
- Brief history of SPC
- Quality characteristics that can be tracked on SPC
- What is variation and how assignable and common causes influence the pattern of SPC charts.
- Design and Construction of Control Charts
- Types of control charts and their uses
- Variables Control Chart (Xbar and R and Xbar and s charts)
- Selection of the most suitable control chart for your application.
- Calculating control limits and establishing the baseline control chart.
- Design of control charts – sample size, sampling point, sampling frequency, etc.
- Detecting and troubleshooting out-of-control situations – trends, mixture patterns, runs, outliers.
- Responding to control chart signals – what to do and what not to do
- Attribute Control Charts
- Types of Attribute Control Charts (p and np charts) and their uses
- Calculating control limits and establishing the baseline control chart.
- Choice of subgroup size and sample size large enough to detect non-conformities
- Conducting a Process Capability Study
- Properties of a normal distribution – mean, standard deviation, skewness
- Conducting a process capability study.
- Taking actions to improve process capability
- Process capability indices – Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk.
- Effective data collection methods to collect unbiased data.
- Guidelines on implementation of SPC on the production floor.
- Checklist for SPC implementation.
- SPC implementation success - SPC awareness, SPC training, SPC acceptance and support.
- Ensure long term continuity and continuous improvement of your SPC programme.
