QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT
(1-Day Course)
QFD is a powerful development technique that ensures
customer requirements drive the new product introduction
process. Simple matrices are used to capture & analyse
information, & delegates progress through the key stages of
prioritising customer requirements & technical
characteristics, selecting concepts, design deployment &
production control, & managing the overall QFD process.

DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY
(1-Day Course)
One of the most powerful techniques for reducing production
costs, DFMA forces designs to be analysed for assembly ease
& shows how to re-design for lower cost. The course follows
the Boothroyd Dewhurst approach, & includes the workbook
package that enables it to immediately be applied at the
workplace. The workshop highlights opportunities to reduce
time-to-market, & increase production efficiency.

VALUE ANALYSIS / VALUE ENGINEERING
(1-Day Course)
This workshop focuses on the powerful VA/VE techniques that
are used to improve product value alongside achieving cost
reductions. It shows how to define customer requirements
before improving product design to ensure a balance of cost
competitiveness. A case study is used to examine the key
stages of information gathering, analysis, generating &
sorting new ideas, selection & implementation.

DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS
(3-Day Course)
DoE is a powerful way to ensure consistency is achieved in
products & processes. This course introduces the DoE
techniques that enable designers to understand product &
process behaviour, & to optimise product design. It follows
a structured approach to planning & designing an experiment,
analysing & optimising results, considering additional
advanced techniques.

APQP
(1-Day Course)
This course concentrates on the essentials of APQP & PPAP
process required to set-up new product development in
accordance with QS9000. It is suitable for anyone involved
in managing, planning, designing or implementing new product
designs & corresponding manufacturing processes. It covers
the 5 phases of APQP & PPAP – making links to supporting
tools such as QFD, FMEA, & the Quality Umbrella.
