Virtual Statistics for Quality Control Webinar: Essential Steps and Techniques Used to Quantify Variability in Manufacturing Processes, and to Assure Quality Products

DUBLIN, Nov. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Statistics for Quality Control" webinar has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This 6-hour virtual seminar is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of techniques and steps used to quantify variability in manufacturing processes, ultimately ensuring the production of high-quality products.

The primary focus of the seminar is on statistical quality control, with an emphasis on acquiring objective, unbiased, and actionable data for informed decision-making. Participants will gain valuable insights into the setup and utilization of acceptance sampling systems and analytical procedures.

The seminar's objective is to equip manufacturing personnel, supervisors, and management with practical knowledge that can be immediately applied in their production operations and decision-making processes. While statistical techniques are covered, the presentation of statistical theory will be limited to what is necessary for attendees to grasp and implement processes and testing within a statistical framework.

The seminar will include examples that highlight the specific manufacturing processes and quality assurance requirements of the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.

Quality control techniques are continually evolving, so the seminar will also cover historical concepts, current trends, and regulatory requirements. Additionally, participants will learn about the presentation of statistical charts and analyses, as well as graphical techniques for planning, troubleshooting, and problem-solving.

Why Should You Attend:

All processes exhibit intrinsic variation. However, sometimes the variation is excessive and this hinders the ability to achieve reliable measurements and desired results. Statistical process control (SPC) and statistical quality control (SQC) allow us to control the functions of our processes (input) and the quality of our product (output) by providing tangible tools for monitoring and testing.

Process and quality control is important for a company's reputation. A good system of processing and quality checks reduce costs associated with production waste and re-work due to defects, and allows a company to deliver products that are high in quality. Many industries are also required to have a good quality management system in place to achieve compliance with regulatory authorities.

This seminar will provide attendees with the statistical tools necessary to monitor processes and test the quality of manufactured product. Ms. Eisenbeisz will make use of Minitab software in her presentation.
