Organizational Agility in Digital Transformation Designing and Leading Change

Upcoming Dates
  • Mar. 18-20, 2025 (D475)
    Madison, WI or Live Online
    $1,995
Digital transformation offer unpresented opportunities for manufacturing and organizations with operational or production environments to advance their production, efficiency, and value while remaining viable in a highly competitive marketplace. To survive the market and technological changes companies are facing, executives and front-line leaders must recognize the impact on people and processes, which in turn drives business and organizational success. Believe it or not, the difference between viability and irrelevancy isn’t just the technology, but rather how well the people and organization are supported in the transition, implementation, and use of those technologies.

Engineering calculations are an integral part of OSHA's process safety management (PSM) standard and the EPA's risk management plan (RMP) rule. Calculations are needed to establish whether a given process is subject to these two regulations and factor into the regulatory framework in supporting the design, operation, and risk assessment of ammonia refrigeration systems. This course is your opportunity to learn the engineering calculations that are necessary for properly documenting industrial refrigeration systems, to help ensure their regulatory compliance.

This course offers an introduction to quality improvement methods grounded in statistical analysis, focusing on the Design of Experiments (DOE) in industrial settings. Through observational methods and factorial designs, students learn to identify key factors influencing outcomes and analyze sources of variation in processes. Factorial designs involve conducting experimental runs at various combinations of factor levels, allowing for a thorough understanding of individual and interactive effects between factors. DOE is essential because it enables efficient experimentation, optimizing processes and guiding informed decisions in product development, manufacturing, and other data driven processes. Mastering these tools allows engineers to validate models and predict performance with greater accuracy.

    Online Anytime
    $295
This course focuses on advancing students' knowledge of Design of Experiments (DOE) by using Minitab software for practical analysis. Building on foundational DOE concepts, the course offers hands-on experience in solving two specific problems: one utilizing a full-factorial design and the other using a fractional-factorial design. The course highlights the critical aspects of setting up experiments, conducting analysis, refining models, verifying results, and optimizing outcomes using Minitab. DOE is fundamental in this context because it provides a structured, scientific approach to understanding how different variables influence outcomes in a process, enabling better decision-making and process improvements. Mastering the analysis of factorial designs in Minitab equips students with valuable skills for process optimization and predictive modeling.
