Overview

Design Validation should ensure that product performance, quality, and reliability requirements are met.

In order to have high confidence that products will perform as intended, enough data must be collected and analyzed using various statistical methods.

Selecting appropriate sample sizes often vexes many practitioners. Testing only a few units does not provide a high level of confidence that performance requirements will be consistently met. Testing too many units may be unnecessarily expensive and can lead to misleading conclusions.

Statistical Methods are typically used to ensure that product performance, quality, and reliability requirements are met during the Design Validation phase of product development.

Description

Why you should Attend:

Sample sizes have a significant impact on the uncertainty in estimates of key process performance characteristics. To have high confidence in results, sufficient sample sizes must be used.

Potential problems should be uncovered during Design Validation, prior to launching a product. Failure to do so may result in customer dissatisfaction, excessive warranty, costly recalls, or litigation.

Participants in the webinar will be able to understand the impact of sample sizes on the results from various statistical analysis methods commonly used during Design Validation.

  • Populations, Samples, Data Types, and Basic Statistics

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
