               Recommended Dates
               
                The following dates are recommended because they have a low minimum student requirement,
                or students are enrolled but not yet enough to hold a class.  Please choose a date for your Parameter Design Training class.  Dates are formatted as year-month-day:

Who is Parameter Design Training for?
              
Parameter Design is most often used by Product Design Engineers and their management. In our course, Austin 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.
