Accendo Weekly Update #328
A New Course by Greg Hutchins
A 12+-hour course over four weeks starting Wednesday, March 16th.
It is a project-based workshop where each participant will learn how to Architect, Design, Deploy, Assure? (ADDA) a risk control framework based on ISO 31000 risk standard.??The ADDA? framework is the risk equivalent of quality’s PDSA cycle.??In this workshop, participants will learn how to frame, design, and apply risk controls and mitigations at the 1. Enterprise; 2. Programmatic/Project/Process; and 3. Product/Transactional levels so they are acceptable to the risk appetite/tolerance of the organization.

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.

You may have heard of Statistical Process Control (SPC), 6-sigma, Shewhart, the Japanese Economic Miracle, X? – 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.’
GThe 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.

Some of my best friends are quality people. This is despite the notion that reliability is just one of many factors of quality, while I suggest reliability is all of quality and over time. There are a lot of similarities and common objectives with quality and reliability efforts. Plus, a few differences.
Let’s talk about how quality and reliability overlap and rely on each other’s set of capabilities, plus where we differ. The idea as a reliability engineer is to leverage and use the best of all the other fields of engineering, including quality, to achieve a reliable product for the customer. So, how do we best go about working together?

I knew it was going to be a long week when my co-facilitator asked the group, “So, what happens when a submersible pump fails.” Their eyes spoke louder than the deafening silence.
