The time and effort required to complete changeovers in manufacturing processes is one of several drivers of "batch & queue” manufacturing with its associated high inventories and long leadtimes. Analytic tools and focused improvement activity can significantly reduce the changeover time, often to "single minutes”

This one-year, part-time Diploma course aims to develop knowledge around the issues and opportunities associated with achieving and maintaining environmental sustainability in industry and business sectors and to develop the associated technical and soft skills.
The course is intended for those who wish to focus their skills with a view to moving into specialist and hybrid environmental roles e.g. internal environmental policy consultants, waste minimisation specialists, energy optimisation advisors.
Delivered via blended learning the course will equip participants with state-of-the-art reference materials to support module topics. Participants will gain knowledge of the generation, distribution and conservation of sustainable energy; product, process and service design that minimises environmental impact; and policy, legislation and compliance in the area. A focused project module and the practical and applied nature of programme delivery will require participants to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios and engage in discussions with fellow students and module tutors which explore the key concepts in environmental sustainability and challenge their way of thinking.

This one-year, part-time Diploma course aims to promote an in-depth knowledge of the thinking and techniques behind Lean and Quality Systems in the workplace. Participants will gain knowledge of highly effective tools and systems for streamlining products, processes and services and minimising waste. Problem solving skills will be sharpened. A work-based Lean project will require participants to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.
The programme is delivered by blended learning, participants receive learning materials in both online and in hard copy format for each module. Materials are specifically designed for independent study and supplemented by supporting online learning resources.
There are 4 taught modules:
In addition there is a work based project module
The course is intended for those who wish to focus their skills with a view to moving into specialist and hybrid lean roles e.g. internal lean consultants, waste minimisation specialists, process optimisation advisors. It will allow those with basic engineering qualifications to up-skill and specialise in lean engineering if taken as a top up course. It will also allow those in declining sectors to convert their skills and transfer their experience to the sector e.g. unemployed manufacturing managers, operatives and technicians.
Learning Objectives
On completion of the course students should have:
•Expert problem solving skills
•An appreciation of lean thinking and lean tools
•Good technical knowledge of quality science and specialist knowledge of six sigma processes
•Technical knowledge of enterprise modelling and simulation with a view to optimising business processes
•An appreciation of lean and quality systems within manufacturing and services sectors
•Built their capabilities in the area of change management to facilitate continuous business process improvement

Overview
The cost of quality is the expense of not doing things right first time, causing valuable resources to be spent finding and reworking defective products.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) eliminates this waste acting as a detection device to indicate when something is going wrong with the process. Superior Product Quality is achieved by identifying and resolving the causes of the process variation. SPC is an essential tool for companies implementing ISO 9001,TS 16949 and Six Sigma.
COURSE CONTENT
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineers, quality and operations personnel, who intend to introduce SPC, or who are required to maintain and enhance an existing system. Engineers concerned with process monitoring and product inspection. Those responsible for process improvements.

Are you struggling to find the root cause? Learn how to use Excel™ and Minitab™ to make statistics accessible and useable. Summarise data using key statistics and important graphical methods. Make better decisions about whether a variable has an effect or not by conducting significance tests such as t tests or F tests. Spot relationships between variables where they exist and discount them where they don’t by using regression analysis. Use ANOVA to identify which variables have an effect on critical to quality characteristics. Make better decisions.
Day 1 -
• Descriptive statistics
• Graphing techniques to spot differences
• Identifying relationships using regression
Day 2 -
• t tests to see differences in means
• F tests to see differences in variation
• Proportion tests to see if proportions differ
• Confidence intervals and how they impact sample size
COURSE DETAILS
The course will teach how statistics can be used to spot differences in data and contribute to tasks such as finding the root cause. It will be thought using either Minitab or Excel (to be agreed in advance) and the emphasis will be on what we can easily do.
