• Formulate and execute high-impact problem-solving tactics.
• Align RCA practices with broader organizational improvement and preventive goals.

This instructor-led, live training in Athens (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level quality control professionals who wish to learn the fundamentals of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and apply it in real-world scenarios.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of Statistical Process Control (SPC).
• Use basic SPC tools such as control charts, histograms, Pareto charts, and scatter diagrams to monitor process performance.
• Create and interpret various types of control charts for variable and attribute data to detect and analyze process variations.
• Calculate and interpret process capability indices.

Quality Core Tools is a practical, instructor-led program that equips participants with a deep understanding of the five core quality methodologies used throughout the automotive product lifecycle. The course emphasizes the practical application of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA). This enables participants to effectively implement these methodologies within quality and project management contexts.

Designed for engineers with existing basic knowledge of the Core Tools, this course reinforces best practices, clarifies the interconnections between individual methodologies, and develops the practical skills needed to apply them confidently in daily work. Particular emphasis is placed on APQP, PPAP, and Process FMEA, while SPC and MSA are reviewed from a practical application perspective.

The course also provides participants with the necessary knowledge to meet the Core Tools training prerequisite for subsequent VDA 6.3 Process Auditor training, maintaining a strong focus on practical industrial application.
