Lean East designs customized training courses to introduce manufacturing and quality employees to the basics of quality systems and quality improvement tools. Topics include:
- QMS (Quality Management System): the roadmap for ensuring quality throughout your organization.
- SPC (Statistical Process Control): statistical tools and techniques used to measure and analyze variations in a process. It helps identify and control any fluctuations that might affect product quality.
- APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning): a structured method used primarily in automotive and aerospace to ensure high-quality products from concept to launch. It involves planning and defining quality throughout the entire development process.
- PPAP (Production Part Approval Process): a standardized method used in automotive and aerospace to ensure parts from suppliers meet quality requirements. It involves documentation, sample production, and customer approval.
- FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis): a proactive approach to identifying potential failure modes in a product or process, analyzing their risks, and implementing preventive actions.
- CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action): a process for identifying, investigating, and addressing problems to prevent them from recurring.
- MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis): a process for evaluating the quality and consistency of your measurement equipment and processes.
The instructor leads the class with engaging exercises and examples from advanced manufacturing and/or medical device industries to bring the quality principles and tools to life. Students leave the classroom ready to apply the lessons immediately.
