A learning session to help understand the role of statistics in manufacturing
by
John Robinson
Statistics and manufacturing make a made-for-each-other pair. Surprised? Although the connection between the two may not ring a bell at first mention; this association is deep and intertwined. This is because statistics takes manufacturing to higher levels by advancing its precision. Manufacturing is all about being process oriented, and statistics is a major tool in helping manufacturing realize its goal of precision.
This link helped GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading provider of regulatory compliance trainings for all the areas of regulatory compliance provide a highly relevant and valuable two-day in-house training session on September 13 and 14, 2016 for Standard Process, a Palmyra, WI based maker of food nutrient solutions.
John Zorich, Statistical Consultant & Trainer, Ohlone College & SV Polytechnic, was the Director of this two-day session, whose topic was, Applied Statistics, with Emphasis on Verification, Validation, and Risk Management, in R&D, Manufacturing, and QA/QC. This was a RAPS pre-approved course that made participants eligible for up to 12 credits towards RAC recertification upon full completion.
This course was spot-on in the benefits it offered to the participants at Standard Process. Being a company that has put precise processes in place for its manufacturing, Standard Process gained immensely from this training
Starts with evaluation of product and processes
Evaluation of the product and processes is the starting point for design and/or manufacturing companies. This is because it helps to manage risks, validate processes, establish product/process specifications to QC to such specifications, and monitor compliance to these.
Zorich explained how companies that get the implementation of their statistical methods wrong can face a spiral of impediments: Substantial increases in its complaint rates, scrap rates, and time-to-market. All these lead to low quality product output, the consequences of which are obvious.
The important ways of avoiding these issues were described at this training session. The Director explained the ways by which to apply statistics to manage risk in R&D, QA/QC, and Manufacturing. All these of course, were made very lively and stimulating with the several examples he gave of real life incidents from the manufacturing industry, which he has gathered over many years of being an Expert in the industry.
Help to understand the role of statistical methods
Zorich went on to offer practical and hands-on ways by which executives at Standard Process could understand how to interpret and use a standard tool-box of statistical methods that consist of confidence intervals, t-tests, Normal K-tables, Normality tests, confidence/reliability calculations, AQL sampling plans, measurement equipment analysis, and Statistical Process Control. This kind of approach was of high importance and relatability to Standard Process, which is highly process oriented.
From this training, the Director ensured that those at Standard Process were left far with a much more refined understanding of how to accurately employ and administer statistical methods, which they can use for introducing new products. This learning gave them the confidence to meet challenges arising out of statistical methods.
