About Parameter Design Training
Who is Parameter Design Training for?
Parameter Design is most often used by Product Design Engineers and their management. In our course, Kansas City students learn:
Parameter Design Training Course Overview:
In an interactive and fun setting. learn how to calculate highest revenue-generating product dimensions. How many billions of dollars do you suppose have been lost due to parameters (dimensions) being set wrong or failing to communicate safety-related and function-critical feature classification to Procurement and Manufacturing teams?
The primary focus of our 1-day Introduction to Parameter Design is conveying how design products that customers want to buy. Not doing this can be catastrophic. One of the worst examples we've seen is a small company who wasted $12M designing a pressure-based UPS system for which they generated zero sales. Through presentation, examples, and hands-on exercises, students will learn through doing the following in a highly interactive and fun setting:
| | Running a designed experiment with low cost components and process settings. |
| | Selecting optimum values for parameters that will reduce the variability of the response to noise. |
| | Selecting lowest cost settings for factors that have minimal effect on response. |
Prerequisites. Basic:
| | Knowledge of Product Design / Engineering |
| | Math: Algebra, Summations |
| | Excel |
Details.
| | All students receive a binder of slide print-outs. |
| | Students will also be asked to evaluate the class. |
| | Comprehension will be measured with a quiz. Passing grade is 80%. Students scoring less will receive a call from their instructor to review weak points. |
| | Once understanding is confirmed, certificate proofs will be emailed for error-checking. |
| | Certificates will then be printed and delivered by normal mail. Certificates are individually serialized with no expiration date although annual refresher training is recommended. |
Schedule. The day is usually 8am-3pm including time for breaks and followed by a quiz. Lunch is between 30-60 minutes depending on client preference.
