Process Risk ReduXion^® Workshop

Process Risk ReduXion is a proactive approach to identifying and preventing problems both early in process development as well as throughout the lifecycle of the process. This course is designed for technical personnel focused on reducing the risk of quality and reliability problems in the manufacturing process. Strong candidates include: manufacturing engineers, process engineers and quality professionals.

This class/workshop will introduce the application of Scope Trees™, Function Models, FEMCA^® , and Linkage Matrices to new processes, process changes, and existing processes. Along with the introduction of these techniques, students will be required to bring a current project to the workshop, and time will be given to apply these tools and techniques to the student's actual project that will be completed for certification. This provides the student the advantage of having the Focus, Understand, and Name steps in FUNCTIONAL™ well on the way to completion by the end of the workshop.

Course Objectives:

This course is designed to enable participants to quickly and efficiently:

• Risk reduce a new or current process.
• Assess the risk of proposed process changes.
• Construct Function Model, FEMCA and Linkage Matrix, Precontrol and Isoplot^® variations.

Benefits:

Participants can use the skills and knowledge gained in this course to:

• Gain a thorough understanding of their process.
  
• Identify potentially important process parameters.
  
• Detect areas of risk due to lack of understanding or controls.
  
• Highlight opportunities to improve the robustness of a process.
  
• Identify the need for measurement systems and improve inadequate measurement systems.
• Apply Precontrol to a process.
