FMEA was originally developed in the 1960¡¯s in the aerospace industry as a systematic method of identifying and investigating potential design or process weaknesses. FMEA is now widely used to evaluate and manage risk in both product and process design. Through the recognition and evaluation of potential areas of failure, an organisation can identify preve......
 

Statistical Process Control (SPC) provides sound information upon which to make decisions. It allows process performance tracking on a real-time basis, allowing for corrective actions to be taken before failure occurs. The best decisions are made using facts and data. The collection and interpretation of data is equally important in manufacturing and service environments. As this course pro......
 

TRIZ is the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TIPS), which is based on an extensive study of the world patent database made by a Russian inventor, Genrich Altshuller, and his team. Altshuller discovered, by focusing his research on the most significant inventions (where the solution was not obvious and required no trade-offs), that inventors from completely different ......
 

Significant progress can be made towards solving company problems and improving the quality of goods and services by using simple tools. The Seven Basic Tools are mainly quantitative methods which can be used in conjunction with a structured problem solving process.
