Process Capability Measurement (PCM)
Process capability compares the output of an in-control process to the specification limits by using capability indices. The comparison is made by forming the ratio of the spread between the process specifications (the specification “width”) to the spread of the process values, as measured by 6 process standard deviation units (the process “width”).

Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
MSA is an experimental and mathematical method which determines the amount of variation existing within a measurement process. The variation in the measurement process can contribute directly to overall process variability. MSA is an important component of Six Sigma and other quality management systems. It analyses the collection of equipment, procedures, software and personnel that affects the assignment of number to a measurement characteristic.

Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
Quality Function Deployment is a set of tools and process used to define requirements of the customers and convert them into detailed engineering specifications and plans to produce the products that fulfils the requirements. It translates requirements of the customer into measurable design targets and drive them from the assembly level down through the sub-assembly, component and production process levels. QFD methodology provides a defined set of matrices utilized to facilitate this progression.

Single-Minute Digit Exchange of Die (SMED)
It is one of the many lean production methods identifying and reducing waste in a manufacturing process. It is a tool to reduce the amount of the time it takes to change from running one process in an operation to running another. Further, improving cycle time in a process, SMED can reduce costs and increase flexibility within a process. The “single minute” title refers to the goal of reducing the changeover time to single-digit minutes, from a maximum of nine minutes down to one.

Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is the industry standard that ensures engineering design and product specification requirements are met. Through the PPAP guideline, suppliers and customers understand the requirements to obtain part approval of supplier manufactured parts. The PPAP process consists of 18 elements that may be required for approval of production level parts. There are five generally accepted PPAP submission levels. The PPAP manual contains detailed information, guidelines and sample documents useful for completing the process requirements. The resulting PPAP submission provides the evidence that the supplier has met or exceeded the customer’s requirements and the process is capable of consistently reproducing quality parts.

Introduction to Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)
APQP ensures the Voice of the Customer (VOC) is clearly understood, in order to facilitate communication and collaboration between engineering activities, and is translated into requirements, technical specifications and special characteristics. The product or process benefits are designed in through prevention. APQP supports the early identification of change, both intentional and incidental. These changes can result in exciting new innovation supporting customer delight. When not managed well they translate to failure and customer dissatisfaction. The focus of APQP is utilization of tools and methods for mitigating the risks associated with change in the new product or process.

Making appropriate decisions when it comes to buying or supplying to a company is often a difficult and complex process, so much so that people often start depending on luck. However, understanding the buying process can help the supplier make a pitch that leads to a quick contract and the employment and management of various relationships and departments in order to reduce the risk of business. Yet, if one is on the other side of the table and only cost calculation is the reason for out sourcing it could damage a company at many levels. Often this whole process looks very complicated and many explanations have been put forward, since a good answer was not possible with only one. However, a consistent and less confusing process could be called a simpler one and we present here one such argument and step to achieve a more effective and simple decision process that can make the decision of buy or sell easy.

Counter Intuitive way to Supply Chain Management
Supply chain management has become complex due to so many practices that have developed and each one making it seem like the panacea for all supply chain issues. Big companies find it easier to apply all the tools, however, it is the small organizations that wonder about what they need to do to be considered a worthy partner link in a good supply chain. This course will teach learners about what the overall supply chain is aiming for and what one needs to do the enter or even retain its place in the supply chain. One can have a greater say in the supply chain if one reduces the use of out sourcing concepts everywhere and makes a simple and correct analysis to bring more and more manufacturing operations into the company. This just may make a company much more important for the supply chain.
