This highly interactive training opportunity should not be missed by anyone who is interested in SQC, bias management, and especially EPA Part 1090 compliance.

 

Since trustworthy measurement data is a fundamental enabler to all aspects of business improvement, having a fundamental understanding of testing precision, bias (absolute and relative), data quality, how to design and execute control chart work processes to ensure data quality, and the implicit uncertainties associated with measurement data can significantly enhance business process improvement initiatives.

Understanding test method and measurement system performance and behavior from control charts can lead to correct decisions as to when to adjust and when not to adjust measurement systems or process control strategies.

Use of control charts to monitor measurement system performance and apply preemptive just-in-time failure-prevention actions can improve laboratory and field operations efficiency, reduce waste, and assure the test data produced are fit-for-use and defensible.

Understanding of test method precision and bias enables release of product with confidence at optimal production cost.
