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, Houston 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.
More Cities
If Houston won't work for you, don't worry. MBB Consulting™ also offers Parameter Design Training in the following recommended cities plus many more:
Houston
Bayou City - Energy Capital of the World
Excellent choice! Houston began with discovery of oil at the Spindletop oil field near Beaumont. Oil combined with Galveston's hurricane devastation encouraged investment in the Houston ship channel and deep water Port of Houston. WWWII spurred ship building. Development of air conditioning made Houston's low cost of living more attractive to northern companies who began relocating there. Aerospace emerged. And Houston has flourished becoming the 4th largest city in the US by population. As such, Houston will keep you busy after Parameter Design Training with popular museums, the zoo, huge stadiums, malls, possibly the world's largest rodeo, gardens, and a stunning aquarium.

 Nouman Rana Regional Lean Manager, Middle East Oil & Gas I had an excellent and memorable experience of attending Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt training from a professional trainer, coach and industry expert who was hired by our organization to help with the transformation of company processes. Our Master Black Belt was not only knowledgeable in the subject but also had several years of hands-on experience working on complex projects, solving problems, applying and implementing Lean and Six Sigma techniques. His teaching skills were exceptional making it easy for everyone to clearly understand the concepts. He brought energy and motivation in the workforce and quickly won praise, recognition and respect from management, staff and shop floor employees. His knowledge transfer, coaching, and guidance helped improve several key processes and resulted in significant improvement in company KPIs and customer satisfaction level. I highly recommend him for his remarkable skills, knowledge, passion, and professional approach towards process and business excellence. |
