Why We Use Statistics
Scheduled for February 8, 2022, at 9 am US Pacific time.
Speaker: Fred Schenkelberg
You may fondly, or most likely not fondly, your undergraduate course on probability and statistics. The calculations of various winning hands with card games was interesting and connected to the early ‘invention’ of probability and statistical methods, yet the jar with colored beads was rather boring.
From drive time to upload speeds, from production output per hour to defects per unit, we are surrounded by things and processes that vary. With most things, there is many factors at play contributing to variations. It is those variations and the means to discuss them in a meaningful way that is the essence of statistics.
Let’s explore the many ways we use, or should use, statistics in our engineering role. From gathering data to presenting, from analyzing to comparing, we have a wide range of tools available that ‘probably’ (pun intended) will have a ‘significant’ (did it again) impact on your ability to make a difference with what you do.
What is Statistical Process Control or SPC?
Scheduled for February 22, 2022, at 8 am US Pacific time.
Speaker: Chris Jackson
You may have heard of Statistical Process Control (SPC), 6-sigma, Shewhart, the Japanese Economic Miracle, X̅ – R Charts … or perhaps none of them. So if you have heard of these things (and are confused by them) or if you are involved in ‘processes’ (especially manufacturing) then this webinar might help you out. SPC can help you work out if your process (whatever that might be) is ‘behaving.’ Which means it isn’t doing anything that YOU don’t EXPECT. And to know what to EXPECT you need to UNDERSTAND your process. So even if your process starts of doing what you WANT – if you don’t UNDERSTAND it then it won’t be long before it meanders outside your definition of what is ‘good.’ The heart of SPC start with finding out the precise moment your process starts behaving UNEXPECTEDLY. Which hopefully gives you plenty of stress free time to come up with really clever solutions well before you create batch upon batch of defective component (or something similar). This webinar gives you an introduction into SPC, which hopefully makes you want to learn more in the future.
