Fault Tree Analysis for Developing Robust Solutions
Starting: 7:30 AM Pacific, 10:30 AM Eastern Time
Length: 90 minutes
April 23, 2019
What you will learn:
Fault Tree Analysis is a great proactive risk prevention tool. It is a brainstorming method on visualizing the worst risks such as sudden acceleration in millions of automobiles, airline crashes, transformer explosions, California wild fires, nuclear power accidents, and NASA Challenger accident. You will learn about designing the systems for preventing accidents using fault tolerance and design to fail safe techniques. FTA can calculate the probability of the risk using the Boolean logic using the standard software. It can also predict the residual risks in the team solution.
Course Content:
- When to use fault trees
- Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) overview
- Right and Wrong way to develop fault trees
- Team composition and team management
- Standard symbols in the FTA
- Computing the probability of the accident or failure
- Design strategies for robust solutions
- Validation tests to assure risk prevention
- Success examples on an electrical product
- Case history on a mechanical product
- Success examples on a software design
- Senior Management involvement to assure return on investment
Who should attend:
The course applies to managers in charge of risk prevention from product recalls and property protection by preventing fires. It covers hardware level, software level, and at system level where many interactions and human errors are involved. Therefore all senior managers, entire R&D department, entire design department, and all manufacturing engineers/managers will benefit. In addition Marketing managers and Service Engineering managers will learn how to translate customer requirements for safety to prevent harm to users and expensive properties.

Design for Zero Defects based on Quality is Free Principal
Starting: 7:30 AM Pacific, 10:30 AM Eastern Time
Length: 90 minutes
May 28, 2019
What you will learn:
Phil Crosby was recognized by corporations around the globe as a “guru” of quality management, and a business philosopher and innovator who changed the way organizations seek to achieve greater efficiency, reliability, and profitability through the Zero Defects program. Crosby’s first book, Quality is Free, has been credited with playing a large part in beginning the quality revolution in the United States and Europe. If you want to create a system by which zero defects are clearly the objective then employees are not to blame when things go astray and defects occur. Your management has to implement a system where no mistakes are made. In other words, employees must know how to their job right the first time. Ditto for the managers. They also have to do the job right the first time. The Department of Defense adopted the concepts to make this plan famous.
Course Content:
- Why Quality is free?
- Phil Crosby approach to get Zero Defects
- Quality is Free movement in the Department of Defense
- Quality is Free, Japanese approaches
- Four absolutes of quality management
- Fourteen steps to quality excellence
- Costs of defect prevention versus the costs of failures
- Quality awareness is central to success
- Prepare plan for zero defects
- Involve everyone in goal setting
- Eliminate causes of errors
- Involve everyone in goal setting
- Examples of Quality is Free
- Workshop on Quality is Free
Who should attend:
Everyone in the Quality Assurance Department should attend this training. All Manufacturing managers, supervisors, and engineers should also attend because most defects originate in manufacturing. In addition Marketing managers and Service Engineering managers will learn how to translate customer requirements for avoiding defects. This should create more satisfied customers. Zero defects always result in high profits for the organization and good future for the employees.

Robust Verification and Validation
Starting: 7:30 AM Pacific, 10:30 AM Eastern Time
Length: 90 minutes
June 25, 2019
What you will learn:
You will learn shocking truths about why over 60% requirements are not included in the specifications. This is why we need verification techniques to assure the work in writing specification was done the correct way and the specifications were translated to the design in the correct way. You also need to know the validation process to make sure customers are getting their requirements implemented correctly. This will assure you high market share with customers. Right specification also means much less engineering changes, therefore much more profits for your organization.
Course Content:
- Why engineering specifications are often very poorly written?
- Criteria for a good performance specification
- Understanding Verification process
- What needs to be verified?
- Who should verify?
- Understanding Verification process
- Hardware design verification
- Software design verification
- Hardware design validation testing
- Software design validation testing
- System design validation testing
- Customer validation
Who should attend:
Entire Quality Assurance staff should attend this course. All manufacturing engineering managers, engineers and production supervisors should also attend because they will be contributors to quality improvement teams. In addition Marketing managers and Service Engineering managers can learn from customers what production defects are unwanted. They can build the customer trust by getting their problems solved at no cost to them.
