This Training Course in Statistical Analysis of Quality Systems is designed to equip participants with the statistical tools and methodologies required to analyze and improve quality systems. The course focuses on data-driven approaches for assessing, controlling, and enhancing quality processes in various organizational contexts.

Participants will learn fundamental statistical concepts, control chart techniques, process capability analysis, and measurement system analysis. The course also covers advanced topics, including root cause analysis, hypothesis testing, and Six Sigma methodologies. Through interactive exercises, case studies, and real-world applications, participants will gain hands-on experience in applying statistical analysis to achieve higher quality standards.

By the end of this course, participants will be prepared to analyze quality systems effectively, identify areas for improvement, and implement data-driven strategies for continuous improvement.
