A Three or Four Day Short Course
Learn about methods that allow you to design quality into your products
What you can expect from this course
Which best practices can you use to increase the quality of your products and reduce the their cost and time to market? You will learn about successful design best practices currently used in industry. You will learn how recent design methods are integrated into the design process and what can be expected when using them. You will gain the tools to assess your own design process and to determine which practices can best be integrated to improve your products.
This course begins with the assessment of the product design process in your company. It then shows how to employ the best of modern design methods to develop higher quality products in shorter time. Emphasis is put on successful methods used in other companies. The workshop is an extension of The Mechanical Design Process, a text used in mechanical engineering design process courses at many Universities throughout the world.
The course is hands-on. Each of the methods introduced will be applied to your problems. The major goal of this course is to give you enough knowledge of each best practice so you can assess whether it is right for you and, if it is, how to get sufficient training to integrate it into your design process.
