Did You Know?
To effectively teach a subject, you must teach to both sides of the brain.

The left side of the brain is the logical side.  It likes the analysis, the details, and the facts.  It is structure and likes the step-by-step instructions.

The right side of the brain is the creative side.  It is the non-verbal side.  It likes music, art, and pictures.  It is the colorful side.

So, to teach SPC to both sides of the brain, you must include the mechanics and structure of the left side of the brain and the pictures and color for the right side of the brain.  All our training modules do this.

Why do I need the process improvement training modules in PowerPoint?

Employees in all kinds of organizations use SPC for process improvement on a regular basis.  Only a few, though, really understand the methods.  Many of us want to steer away from all that "technical stuff."  Yet, it has been proven over and over that when we understand why we are doing what we do, we become more effective.  This is why we created the Improving Process with People and Statistics Training Modules in PowerPoint.  This is an easy, fun and economical way to teach process improvement to everyone!  

 What do our customers say about these training modules?

 

bullet"Thank you for your quick response, and overnight deliver. I have reviewed a couple of the presentations, and must say that your organization did some very nice work. These will certainly serve our needs and save me from reinventing the wheel."

bullet"Thanks for your help.  I must say that I am extremely satisfied with the content!  It is exactly what I need to conduct SPC training in my two factories.  SPC is not widely practiced in China and good SPC training material is also hard to come by.  I am glad that BPI has provided me with the tools to quickly train my people here on the fundamentals of SPC and its benefits."

How can I use PowerPoint training Modules?

There are several ways you can use these modules.  You can use the modules as independent study.  Simply get the modules you need and work through them page by page, on your computer or in a printed version, at your own pace and at your convenience.  You can also use these modules if you want to teach SPC to others. Select only the modules you want.

 

How can I customize these modules?

The PowerPoint modules can be customized to meet your company's needs.  Often, companies like to include their own examples in training.  You can add or delete slides.  There are no restrictions on how you can edit the presentation.

 

What will we learn?

You will learn how to quickly identify which SPC tool to use and when to use them. You will develop an understanding of the different SPC techniques, how they work, how to do the math (in simple terms), and how to analyze the data so appropriate actions can be taken.  You will understand the concept of variation and how important this concept is in improving processes.

For detailed information on the contents of each module and the cost, click on the module above.  Most modules are $29.00.  If you are using the modules for training think about how much time you would have to spend to create one module.  It is estimated that it takes 8 to 24 hours to develop one hour of training.

 

Can I see an example of these modules for free?

Yes.  You can download the module “Types of Data” for free.  This module covers what attributes data are, what operational definitions are, what variables data are and introduces the average and standard deviation.  This is a short module that will help you understand what the modules look like.

 

 

Do I need to buy all modules?

No.  You can buy one, two, or as many you need.  Of course, all the modules together help provide a deeper understanding of SPC.  You can purchase all the modules at a significant discount.  The whole package costs less than sending one person to most SPC training courses!

 

What if I want a module that is not listed?

Give us a call or send us an e-mail.  In most cases, we can develop a module to meet your needs.

 

When are new modules added?

We are adding new modules on a regular basis.  If you want to be notified when new modules are available, we will send you an e-mail.  If you purchased all the modules, these new modules will be available to you at a significant discount.

 

Are the graphic design of the modules the same?

No.  Learning increases dramatically with relevant variation.  This is why each module is developed utilizing a different PowerPoint graphic design that helps emphasize the topic.

 

Are the modules in color?

Yes. All the modules are in color and include a variety of pictures, graphs and illustrations to increase learning.  This allows you to teach to both sides of the brain which is essential to effectively teach any subject (see the sidebar "Did You Know?").

 

Can I use the training anywhere?

These modules can only be used for the location/organization it was bought for. If other locations (such as a sister plant) or another organization would like to use the training modules, they need to purchase their own modules.  They may also want to customize the modules with their own examples.

This training material shows how to construct all the basic SPC tools.  It includes how to do the calculations.  This helps increase understanding.  But, on a day-to-day basis, you don't want to do the calculations by hand.  We have the solution to that.
