CTQ Tree

Full Description

The CTQ Tree (Critical to Quality Tree) is all about what needs to be measured to drive improvement in the eyes of the customer. The CTQ Tree provides a graphic to tie the progression of the requirements together. The progression starts with the Want or Need, which leads to the Drivers within the Process we must control, and then to the Critical to Quality Characteristics (CTQs) that we measure to control the Drivers. Once we know what to measure we must define what means good or bad, which is also called the specification. Typically our customers let us know what they want or need, but rarely do they define the CTQs and the specifications.

Full Description

This course focuses on the skills required to work effectively in a team, how to lead a team, and how to communicate. We have found that regardless of the technical merit of an improvement solution, breakdowns in communication can defeat the implementation and derail our ability to sustain the change.

This course addresses the issues we face within an organization when we are attempting to make change. You will learn how to work effectively as a team in meetings, understand each other based upon personality profiles, how to deal with conflict, how to communicate in writing including e-mails, how to lead a team, be creative, and make decisions as a team. We often overlook these soft skills for the sake of the technical solution, but without these skills implementing and sustaining change is more difficult than it needs to be.

 A toolkit is provided for conducting effective meetings, evaluating and dealing with personalities, being creative, and making decisions.

This interactive course includes numerous exercises, quizzes, and a final exam. The toolkit is available in both MS Office and OpenOffice.org productivity software suites.

This course is worth 2.5 CE credit hours.

FMEA RPN and Process Sigma

eLearning Price: $ 0.00

Full Description

This Nano sized course introduces FMEA, RPN, and converting RPN to Process Sigma Level.
