Course details
Day 1 takes delegates through the fundamentals of variation from understanding the difference between common and special/assignable causes to the concept of standard deviation. The question ‘why are control charts used?’ is addressed and the basis of measurement is covered, including the difference between attribute and variable data, measurement uncertainty and gauge repeatability and reproducibility. On the afternoon of day 1 delegates are introduced to control charts for variable data – the ‘X bar and r’ chart and the ‘X bar and σ’ chart.
Day 2 continues with control charts for variable data introducing delegates to the ‘Median and range’ and the ‘Individuals and moving range’ charts. This is followed by an introduction to control charts for attribute data – the P chart, the NP, C and U charts finishing on day 2 with the concept of ‘process capability’.
