This course is ideal for companies that need to increase customer satisfaction and decrease operating costs. Six Sigma is a problem solving methodology that uses statistical tools and techniques to greatly reduce the frequency of defects and errors within products and services by identifying, analyzing, and eliminating variation within production, business administration and customer service processes. Companies implementing Six Sigma have achieved order processing time reductions of nearly 75%, first-pass yield improvements of over 53%, on-time delivery rate increases of up to 85% and cycle time reductions of nearly 31%. Typically, Six Sigma is implemented through the performance of targeted improvement projects that apply the proven DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) approach to a specific process. Most projects can be performed by qualified Six Sigma Green Belts, with Six Sigma Black Belts assisting in the project’s chartering, data collection, data analysis and improvement sustainability aspects as needed. Course Outline This five-session course is instructed by a NEPIRC Six Sigma Master Black Belt and covers Six Sigma concepts, roles and implementation approaches that will enable participants to identify Six Sigma execution opportunities and conduct Six Sigma projects with limited involvement from a Six Sigma Black Belt. This course is eligible for WedNetPA funding. Participants will learn: The Six Sigma philosophy from a certified Six Sigma Black Belt To identify Six Sigma opportunities, and how to charter and conduct Six Sigma projects independently or as part of a small group To apply the proven DMAIC approach for Six Sigma implementation How to quantify the benefits and ROI of the project and report project outcomes to their peers and supervisors

Is your manufacturing design cycle dragging on? Do you have parts without digital drawings? Would you like to check the fit of a part before you mass produce it? Do you need to fixture a part in an awkward position? Would you like to get a few parts made without facing a huge minimum buy? The answer to these questions is the use of 3D Scanning and Printing. 3D scanning technology can be applied at any point in a typical manufacturing cycle, saving time, money and material. 3D scanning results in higher quality and better fitting parts that are less costly to manufacture. The cost of a typical manufacturing design cycle is reduced by 75% by utilizing 3D scanning. The most common applications of 3D scanning in manufacturing fall into three categories: 1. Quality Control 2. Prototyping & 3D printing 3. Reverse Engineering & CAD creation NEPIRC offers a two-hour seminar that will show you how easy and efficient 3D Scanning and Printing can be for your company. Come and see an actual demonstration of how to scan a part and prepare it for printing. You will also see how to take that scanned part and convert it into a digital SolidWorks file that you can print or mass produce conventionally. 3D Scanning and Printing Advantages: · Quickly capture the physical measurements of any physical object · Save time in design work · Ensure parts will fit together on the first try · Capture engineering optimizations inherent in manufactured parts · Utilize modern manufacturing on parts that were originally manufactured before CAD · Compare “as-designed” model to “as-built” condition of manufactured parts
