A key skill for root cause analysis and verification action is to develop documented evidence that a change in design, materials or process steps has not had an impact on process or product output. For example, a process owner might want to compare the average strength of an adhesive joint before and after an unexpected …
Effectiveness checks are often an overlooked tool in the Corrective and Preventive action process. The effectiveness check is performed at the end of the process and does not garner the same emphasis and attention as that of the root cause analysis and the actions to correct or prevent the problems but it can be a …
Design of experiments (DOE) is a tried-and-true, multifactor quality tool for identifying key process drivers. This presentation demonstrates how to deploy DOE to create reliable prediction models. Case studies from a variety of industries demonstrate how to construct these models and then use them for determining more desirable process settings. Although DOE tools require a …

A commonly seen struggle many companies face is product designed in one place yet manufactured in another, causing many challenges and issues during hand over between development side and production side. Another commonly seen struggle is that many activities during product development stage have similar intent with different focuses, which is all to identify and …
