Predicting Product Life Using Reliability Analysis Methods
Steven Wachs
90 Min
Product Id: 702096
Achieving high product reliability has become increasingly vital for manufacturers in order to meet customer expectations amid the threat of strong global competition. Poor reliability can doom a product and jeopardize the reputation of a brand or company. Inadequate reliability also presents financial risks from warranty, product recalls, and potential litigation. When developing new products, it is imperative that manufacturers develop reliability specifications and utilize methods to predict and verify that those reliability specifications will be met. This presents a difficult challenge in many industries with short product cycles and compressed product development time frames. This webinar provides an overview of quantitative methods for predicting product reliability from data gathered from physical testing or from field data.

Product Id: 706459
Events in the world are affecting how we do business with travel restrictions we face new uncharted waters, Companies need to maintain their certifications / suppler status and are required to be audited either by a CB or a customer periodically. To protect the client and the auditor remote auditing has been proposed as the solution. The big question is how do we prepare for a remote audit? What are some challenges and how do we address them? Some guidelines have been flowed down from Certifying Bodies to their auditors. This session will share those guidelines and help you prepare for a successful remote audit.

Corrective and Preventive Action; Our Most Important Quality Process
William Levinson
90 Min
Product Id: 706684
Corrective and preventive action (CAPA) is a process of the quality management system that begins with the identification of a problem (or opportunity), goes through a series of steps including identification of the root causes and deployment and verification of a solution, and documentation and deployment of lessons learned. The deliverables include not only elimination of the problem at hand, or realization of the opportunity, but application of the best practices learned to related activities.
When Zero Isn't Zero; How to Handle Lower Detection Limits
William Levinson
60 Min
Product Id: 706660
Traditional process capability studies and statistical control methods rely on the assumption that measurements are available for all items. There are some applications, however, in which the gage or instrument cannot quantify measurements below a lower detection limit (LDL) and returns a measurement of zero (or "not detected"). Typical applications include pollutants, trace impurities, and trace contaminants. Statistical methods for left-censored data can be applied in these cases.
Modified DD2977: A Simple Alternative to Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis

How to Have High Wages, High Profits, and Low Prices
William Levinson
60 Min
Product Id: 706613
The Ford Motor Company of the early 20th century proved with bottom-line financial results that high wages are consistent and even synergistic with high profits and low prices. Henry Ford and his contemporaries such as Frank Gilbreth and Frederick Winslow Taylor recognized that enormous waste is built into most jobs at the expense of worker, employer, and customer alike. This webinar will show how the problem is usually correctable very easily once it is recognized, and also how to recognize it on sight.
