This program is designed for anyone who needs to understand the concepts
of variation and how Statistical Process Control (SPC) can help reduce variation.
It clearly presents how to control variation in a way that is easy to understand
and does not require a background in statistics.
This set is specifically designed for those who have already received basic
training in creating and maintaining control charts, but want to improve
their skills in interpreting control charts. Topics covered include: Histograms
and frequency distributions; the meaning of statistical control areas under
normal curve; what control limits represent; natural patterns; five tests
for unnatural patterns; how to adjust a process that has shifted; modified
tests for small sample sizes; and the relationship between the Range and
X-bar. The series make extensive use of graphics and animation for visual
effect and includes one leader's guide. Presented by Kent Ehley, who has
an MBA from the University of Wisconsin and is a Certified Quality Engineer.
Described by a client as "Mr. Fix-It of Quality," he has served industry
for more than 20 years as a consultant.
This program is based on a three day seminar which has taught simulation modeling to over 1,000 engineers, educators, and consultants in government, health care, transportation, manufacturing and marketing. It teaches each step in the simulation process from problem recognition to problem resolution. Topics covered include:
This series (which may be purchased by module) includes fourteen hours of
videotape seminar training, and over 900 pages of text materials.
This videotape presents a definitive approach for successfully simulating
your system, including such topics as problem formulation, information/data
collection, validation, software selection, statistical considerations, and
project management. It is based on Dr. Law's 20 years of simulation experience,
as well as the experiences of more than 5000 people who have attended his
simulation short courses. The benefits of the videotape include a greatly
increased likelihood of project success, and the avoidance of 19 common
simulation pitfalls. A 45 page reference manual is included with the videotape.
A 12 minute preview can be purchased seperately. The price of the preview
is refunded when the videotape is purchased. Academic discount available.
This powerful Microsoft Windows® driven applied statistics application is written for engineers and scientists, not just for statisticians. It helps engineers with the development of new products through controlled experimentation and is primarily intended for applications where you have a number of independent variables under your control and you want to find the combination of variables that creates the best possible product.

Magazine Review Article (SPC for Process
Industries)
This 4-part series is specifically designed for process industries and companies
that have special processes such as bonding, plating, cleaning, or chemical
treatment. Topics covered include:
Tape I · Distinction between product control and process control · Meaning of tolerances for product and process variables · Why "within tolerance isn't good enough" · Random variation and the normal distribution
Tape II · Trend variation in process parameters · Distinction between random and trend variation · The danger of over-control and how to prevent it
Tape III · How to monitor trend variation in a process · How not to monitor trend variation · How to reduce variation cuased by trend variables
Tape IV · Tape IV · Types of basic attribute control charts
(Individuals and Moving Range,
X-bar and R charts)
· Advantages and disadvantages of each chart
· How to use control charts to calibrate process measuring instrumentation
Also included in this series is one leader's guide and one workbook.
This program explains the essentials for successful service in light of system
thinking and reduces the fear of using statistical methods in the process.
It establishes the importance of defining the right quality and uniformity
as the foundation for business prosperity. The presentation demonstrates
how statistical methods can be used to provide direction for improvement
of the overall system.

This instructional videotape series is designed to catalyze creativity for
quality improvement. Topics covered include: Quality and the art of discovery;
Interactive nature of scientific investigation; choosing the right test design;
factorial, fractions, and blocked test designs; using graphical methods instead
of numbers; how to develop robust quality products; simplification of Taguchi's
ideas; and product development experiment actually carried out. The set includes
three sets of notes, one copy of "A Practical Aid to Experimenters" by
Søren Bisgaard and one copy of "Statistics for Experimenters" by Box,
Hunter, and Hunter.
We will come to you or arrange for you to come to us for staff introduction and training in DOE.
Our programming, systems design, and statistical D.O.E. (Design of Experiments)
consulting fees will vary depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Rates start at $35 per hour for programming, $55 per hour for systems design,
and $75 per hour for statistical D.O.E. consultation. Cost estimates will
be given on a project-by-project basis. Please call for additional
information.

This instructional two-part series was commissioned by Celanese Fibers Company.
In Part I, the tapes teach experimenters how to: plan efficient tests; identify
and screen potential variables; determine if variable effects are real; conduct
comparative experiments; and perform analysis of variance on factorial tests.
Then Part II the tapes teach experimenters how to: apply fractional factorial
experiments; understand the output of regression analysis; use response surface
methods (RSM) to find an optimum; and use CuSum control charts. Included
with this series is one leader's manual for each Part I or Part II and one
participant manual for each Part I or Part II.
LINK is a powerful Windows based software package which reduces and converts multi-dimensional data from source files into report formats and work exceptionally well with scanner data. Using a completely menu-driven approach, the interface guides the user step-by-step from raw data input to final reporting. Using automatic statistical computation you can easily reduce/summarize large amounts of data, prepare sales reports, summarize test results, perform statistical analyses and analyze product data. LINK runs on a standard PC, yet can easily access data from larger host computers. *Base Price. Product customization is extra. Programming, systems design and statistical D.O.E. consulting fees will vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Cost estimates will be given on a project-by-project basis.
