Acceptance Sampling

Acceptance Sampling is one of the oldest quality tools, however is commonly misunderstood and frequently misused. This training will help you rise the effectiveness and consequently lower your product disposition cost. It also teaches you how to select and evaluate acceptance sampling plans for different uses. Such sampling plans can be used for incoming inspection, in-process components and finish goods.

Process Steps

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Upper Management, Managers, Supervisors, Engineers, Team Leaders and individuals interested in learning Acceptance Sampling.

BENEFITS

When this training is completed, you will be able to evaluate, design and implement sampling plans for attributes and variables that will improve your outgoing quality and the overall cost.
