Description
🎓 Six Sigma and Quality Engineer Training (AIAG-VDA) — live online training from 3D-LABS, taught by practising design engineers who build the calculators and software used on EPC projects every day.
⏱ Duration: 4 weeks · 🕑 Schedule: 2 hrs/day, weekday or weekend batches · 📶 Level: Beginner to Intermediate · 💻 Mode: Live online, every session recorded
👷 Who this course is for
Quality engineers, manufacturing and process engineers, and supplier quality staff who own PPAP submissions, FMEAs or capability studies — plus engineers preparing for a Green Belt role.
📚 Course structure
- Quality systems and the AIAG-VDA framework — Core tools, the APQP cycle, and how customer-specific requirements drive the documentation set.
- Process capability — Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk, stability versus capability, non-normal data and what a capability claim really means.
- Measurement system analysis — Gage R&R by range and ANOVA methods, bias, linearity, stability and attribute agreement analysis.
- Statistical process control — Variable and attribute control charts, subgrouping, control limits versus specification limits, and reacting to signals.
- FMEA to AIAG-VDA 1st edition — Structure and function analysis, failure analysis, action priority tables, and the move from RPN to AP.
- Control plans and PPAP — Control plan linkage to FMEA, the 18 PPAP elements and submission levels, and common rejection causes.
- Design of experiments — Factorial and fractional factorial designs, main effects and interactions, and reading a DoE output.
- Problem solving — 8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa and the DMAIC roadmap applied to a real defect reduction case.
- Cost of quality and project selection — Scoping a Six Sigma project that finance will recognise and tracking savings.
🧮 3D-LABS calculators and software you will use
Every module is taught against real design sheets from our library of 680+ engineering calculators — you keep access to them and can use them on the job from day one.
