Shainin Classes: What to Expect

The first important step toward certification is registering for a class. Shainin classes are taught using a series of case studies and examples. Cases are taken from different industries, and are chosen to create an understanding of the broad scope of how Shainin strategies and tools can be applied. The strategy used to solve these cases is the key focus of the training. Tools are also taught to enable the student to execute the strategy developed.

All Red X^® and Green Y^® classes except Introduction to Shainin: Overview (under development) and Red X Strategies for Quality Control, and TransaXional™ Analysis, presume the student has a working knowledge of undergraduate algebra, analytic geometry, and physics, and is familiar with the basic statistical concepts such as sample vs. population, distribution, mean, and standard deviation. For Red X and Green Y, a four year engineering degree is helpful but not required. The classes also presume the student has been employed in product design, development, or manufacturing long enough to be familiar with the standard practices used in at least one of those disciplines.
