Friends,
Please forward this invitation to your friends and colleagues,
and RSVP to me (

) if you plan to attend.
The Statistics & Reliability Discussion Group cordially invites you to
attend an outstanding FREE presentation:
TOPIC: Process Capability Analysis, New Approaches and Better Results.
SPEAKER: Dr. John J. Flaig
Chair and Moderator: Dr. John Flaig
Assistant Chair: Dr. Don Mintz
Corporate Sponsor: Applied Materials
Sponsor: Mr. Ravi Chandra from Applied Materials
Abstract:
I will discuss the evolution of process capability concept and the
metrics that have been developed over the last sixty years. From
Dr. Juran's basic concept to the development of more than one
hundred different process capability indices given by Johnson
and Kotz.
I will discuss the various definitions of process capability (so in case
you thought there was just one) you might be surprised. Also, we
will cover the different views of what capability means to
Operations people, Engineering people, Quality people, and
Management people. The shocking truth will be revealed.
I will discuss the latest and most advanced process capability
metrics based on my numerous published research papers. So
if you think Cpk is best process capability metric, then I think
you will find this presentation enlightening.
Biography:
Dr. Flaig is a Fellow of the American Society for Quality (ASQ)
and an ASQ instructor and is managing director of Applied
Technology, a consulting and training company (www.e-at-usa.com).
He has published over twenty peer reviewed research papers
in areas such as process capability analysis, adaptive control
charts, factor effects analysis, optimal resource allocation,
and supplier management. He was formerly a member of
the Editorial Board of Quality Engineering a journal of the
ASQ, and Associate Editor of Quality Technology and
Quantitative Management a journal of the International
Chinese Association of Quantitative Management.
