Minitab or JMP Statistical Software
Designers for NPD, NPI or R&D face challenges to understand the customer requirements, relate customer requirements to product requirements, select a design approach, evaluate design choices, optimize a design and verify the design in manufacturing. This training addresses these fundamental needs of designers and is organized around the five main phases of the Six Sigma Process Improvement Roadmap: Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify (DMADV).
The first half of the program can be run independently and gives participants essential tools for the Define, Measure, Analyze, and Design functions. The second half provides tools and advanced strategies to complete the Design and Verify steps of the roadmap.
Optional: In between training, QSG provides coaching and guidance to ensure that the methodology and roadmap are used appropriately. This is a separate service provided apart from this 80-hour training program.
This course is designed for R&D and design engineers and leaders who will head or work on new product development or new product introduction activities.
Through training, participants will:

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
