Basic Quality Tools for Process Improvement (sometimes included in the 7 Quality Tools) introduces participants to statistical methods that can be used by people with little formal training in statistics. Although called basic, these methods are nonetheless very powerful. Kaoru Ishikawa, awarded the Deming Prize in Japan for his many contributions to the field of quality, noted that these methods can be used to solve the vast majority of quality-related issues.
Ishikawa was influenced by a series of lectures presented by the late Dr. W. Edwards Deming in Japan in the early 1950s. In the wake of Deming’s teaching, companies began training their workforces in statistical quality control. Unfortunately, the complexity of the subject matter was intimidating to many workers; so companies scaled back the training to focus on simpler – or more basic – techniques that are sufficient for most quality and process problems.
This course was designed for supervisors and employees involved in process improvements and floor-level problem-solving efforts, as well as those interested in establishing a foundation for the future application of more advanced statistical methods. This workshop is most beneficial when a team from an organization attends together.
In this fast-paced and highly interactive one-day course, students will learn how to use the Basic Quality Tools to achieve dramatic improvements in quality, productivity, and processes throughout an organization. Students will also develop a solid foundation for learning and applying more advanced statistical methods and concepts in the future.

Quality Support Group provides world class training in many useful topics. Their trainers, specifically Don and Dave, are very knowledgeable and genuinely there to help you learn and understand. I took their Green Belt training and certification, and highly recommend it. They have excellent training material, software tools, and activities. They are teaching from many years of experience and have so much technical and industry knowledge that makes it easier to relate to, understand, and apply the concepts. From this experience, I will definitely be looking to get more training from them to improve my skills. I highly recommend reaching out to QSG for your training needs and more. My company, Hexagon, has trusted them for years, having them continually train our employees in regulatory standards, problem solving 8D, continuous improvement, etc
