University of Kansas To Offer Online Quality and Manufacturing Optimization Training Program

Dec. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Manufacturing Training (www.ManufacturingTraining.com) announced a collaborative Manufacturing Optimization Online Certificate Program being offered through the University of Kansas.  

The Manufacturing Optimization Online Certificate Program consists of three modules covering quality management, root cause failure analysis, and cost reduction and optimization. The training features practical, experience-based, and proven approaches for rapidly optimizing manufacturing processes. The program includes basic concepts, improvement opportunity identification techniques, implementation strategies, risk identification and avoidance methodologies, and extensive use of practical examples.

The three-module program of instruction relies on three texts and numerous proven techniques developed by Joseph Berk, who will teach the course.  Berk has 30 years of experience helping organizations improve their engineering, manufacturing, and process capabilities, with a special emphasis on identifying and eliminating the causes of delinquent deliveries, product failures, excessive cost, and inefficient practices.  

The textbooks include Quality Management for the Technology Sector (published by Elsevier), Systems Failure Analysis (published by ASM International), and Cost Reduction and Optimization for Manufacturing and Industrial Companies (published by Scrivener and Wiley).

“We ordinarily present these training programs in-house to our client companies,” Berk said, “and we are frequently asked if we offer seminars to the public.   Through this program, we can do so.  The University of Kansas Manufacturing Optimization Online Certificate Program allows individuals to master proven quality management, failure analysis, and cost reduction techniques through a state-of-the-art training delivery approach.”
