Validating Multiple Response Variables

 
  October 14, 2010  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
November 9, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend
This course is intended for any professionals that are involved in the task of validating the production process for their firm. This is especially of interest to the food and pharmaceutical but is not focused exclusively on those industries.

Description
The purpose of this 90-minute accredited online training course is to introduce methods for validating a process when there are multiple response variables. Data from real processes will be used for examples. The participants in this course will be introduced to the concepts of checking appropriate for both a single Response variable and a multi-variate Response variable process. The focus will be on the use of appropriate tools for achieving this task of Validating rather than mathematical derivations.

Module 1:
  • Review the concepts of parallel coordinate plotting needed 
    for this course
  • Define Validity carefully
  • Demonstrate the need for the second component of 
    Validity: Consistency
    – in the context of a single response variable

Module 2:
  • Discuss a method for checking the Consistency for the 
    case of many response variables
  • Possible reasons for the lack of consistency

Module 3:
  • Apply the technique to several real life problems
    – Case studies
  • Summary

Organized by: CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement
Invited Speakers: Donald S. Holmes, founder of STOCHOS, expert in teaching and application of quantitative methods to management systems

Donald S. Holmes, founder of STOCHOS, is well versed in the teaching and application of quantitative methods to management systems. He is a Fellow of the American Society for Quality Control (ASQC) and a certified quality engineer.

A professor Emeritus at Union College where he taught quality management, Mr. Holmes helped start the Institute of Administration and Management. He launched innovative training programs during his tenure at General Electric, among them a management problems analysis course offered to hundreds of personnel each year.

Mr. Holmes pioneered factory process simulation as a business logician with GE's operations research and synthesis group, and consulted for the company as a quality control engineer. As a regional representative for the Strategic Planning Institute of Cambridge, Massachusetts, he assisted companies seeking to understand and improve their financial performance.

With B.S. and M.S. degrees in mathematics from Juniata College and Purdue University, he has taught at Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, the State University of New York at Albany and Union College. He also has taught at the University at Munich and the Middle East Technical University in Ankara. He was a chief inspector of the US Army Chemical Corps, and has served as a consultant to the business program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

He has worked with all types of computers, from desktop micros to large mini-computers, in designing solutions to a wide range of problems in engineering, manufacturing and management. He is the author and/or co-author of many published quality articles and has made numerous presentations to local and national groups. He is a regular faculty member of the Center for Professional Advancement and has served as a member of the editorial board of Quality Engineering.
