About the course HI-RF10 Problem Solving through Statistical Engineering.

Does any of the following sound familiar? "We're not sure if we've truly solved the problem." "The root cause analysis team has tried many things, but nothing seems to work." "We don't have enough resources for root cause analysis." In such cases, the Problem Solving through Statistical Engineering training provides insights into how to break through the deadlock using the latest techniques.

This training is focused on structured and efficient root cause analysis to resolve product issues. It centers on the use of the Statistical Engineering (SE) method to professionally and independently identify the main cause of problems. SE capitalizes on the fact that a single root cause contributes most significantly to the problem, with the aim of finding and understanding it, leading to the right solution.

Course: Problem Solving through Statistical Engineering.

Outcome

This training clarifies why and how the SE method works. This method aids in establishing the framework for problem analysis and understanding a measurement system. Furthermore, it provides insights into which products and data need to be examined and which statistical tools should be used. The SE methodology encompasses many specialized tools that will be extensively taught during this training. Participants learn how to handle defective products and report progress to management. With this training, you will become a well-rounded problem solver.
