AS13100_RM13006 – Process Control Methods

AS13100_RM13006 – Process Control Methods

Course overview:  

This course replaces AS13006 - Process Control Methods Practitioner for Aerospace.

This course covers the Process Control requirements for AS13100 and AESQ Reference Manual RM13006 - Process Control Methods.  This course outlines the competitive advantages of effective process control strategies along with the benefits of value added controls within the control plan.  It supports the goal of zero defects, defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste.


Process control concerns the mechanisms by which the output of a specific process is maintained within a desired range to ensure the resultant characteristic meets the requirements. This course introduces Statistical Process Control (SPC) from the basics, creating charts by hand, before then using more advanced methods to monitor and improve process control.

The use of statistical techniques and other proven methods will result in improved quality and manufacturing maturity. The AESQ Reference Manual RM13006 helps organisations to select the appropriate control strategies when developing Control Plans and to demonstrate their effectiveness through statistical analysis.


Who should attend:  

This course is designed for Process Design Practitioners, Process Improvement Teams, Implementation Teams, Internal Auditors and others involved in the implementation or auditing of Process Control strategies and techniques.  


Certification: 

Upon completion of the course, you will receive an Industry Forum AS13100_RM13006 Process Control Methods Practitioner Certificate.


Course Delivery

This highly participative course is based on a series of modules using tutorials, exercises and open forum discussion. The course is highly practical with the aim of developing effective problem solving skills that can be quickly applied in the work place.


Pre-requisites

Please note that delegate should bring a laptop with Minitab installed as this will be used during the course. If required a free trial version of Minitab can downloaded here. 


Benefits and Learning Objectives:  


Delegates will be competent in:
