Course Description

This course teaches a systematic and effective way to assure the maximum productivity and quality of your injection molding processes. The ZDM Group LLC will offer this course at Husky’s Detroit Technical Center in Novi, Michigan. It covers the design, examination and analysis of Design of Experiments (DOE’s) for the most common challenges found in injection molding processes to include the following:

• Consistency of material distribution
• Flex and tensile strength
• Dimensional consistency
• Visual defects
• Cycle and weight reduction

The course is interactive and uses multimedia presentations plus "hands-on" exercises using a Husky injection molding machine in Husky’s state-of-the-art training lab.

Who Should Attend:

This course is designed for any person who wants to learn how to design, examine and analyze Design of Experiments (DOE’s) for the most common challenges found in injection molding processes. Specifically, this course is designed for:

• General Managers
• Technical managers
  
• Process engineers
• Production managers
• Maintenance technicians
• Quality assurance personnel

Training Objectives

By the end of the course the participants will be able to:

• Perform process simulations and use injection molding DOE's on Husky injection molding machines to demonstrate and understand the nature of injection molding process challenges

• Use basic statistics - distributions, parameters, and differentiation between noise and real effects (the concept of statistical significance) to improve injection molding processes Response Surface Plots
• Design factorial DOE's to optimize injection molding processes
• Use Design Expert software to understand the design and analysis principles of DOE's
• Demonstrate the design and analysis of factorial DOE's using process simulations from actual DOE's designed and performed in class with Husky Injection Molding machines
• Utilize scatter diagrams and understand their relationship to material properties and product functionality
• Develop process simulations
• Utilize SOP's for the design, optimization and development of processes and products

Duration

3.5 days -- March 4, 5, 6, and a half day on the 7th, 2008
