CONTROLLING MANUFACTURING PROCESS VARIATION
28th/29th June and 5th/6th July 2011
Learn how to reduce manufacturing process variability and
improve financial performance with this FREE workshop
Manufacturing process variation can impact
significantly on the operations and
profitability of a company. This workshop
aims to introduce techniques that help
companies to understand, control, predict and
reduce the levels of process variation in their
manufacturing operations using Dimensional
Management.
You will come away understanding the tools and
techniques that will allow your company to quantify and
understand the variation of its manufacturing processes.
Once the variation can be quantified, actions can be
taken to reduce the impact on customers (and the
company’s bottom line) along with preventing the same
issues arising on future products. The tools can be used
throughout a product’s lifetime, from the concept stage
through to volume manufacturing.

Who Should Attend?
Content for the workshop has been derived
from automotive manufacturing best
practice, but the tools and techniques can
be applied to any company with
mechanical engineering based manufacturing processes. The techniques can be
applied to any process, from one-off
bespoke operations to high volume
manufacturing; and across the process
chain, from concept development through
to production.
Why Should You Attend?
Manufacturing process variability can affect
all aspects of a company’s operations, but
most importantly it will increase the costs
and reduce profitability. In these uncertain
economic times, it is essential for
companies to minimise their cost-base
whilst still meeting the requirements of their
customers.
