Quality, Reliability, & Statistical Methods Training
SPC, DOE, MSA, Reliability Analysis, Regression, Hypothesis Testing
"I got more in three days than from 20+ years in manufacturing."
"The best seminar I have ever sat through. Will drive a change to the way we implement SPC."
"A joy to learn from."
"Very clear, easy to follow, very different approach."
"I have used much of the material I learned on my job in just the past 3 months."
Pinnacle Enterprise Group's (Pinnacle) gifted instructors present the application of statistical methods in a stimulating and exciting fashion. Through the use of real experiences as well as examples drawn directly from the participants' companies, they are able to present applications of statistical methods in a context that participants can identify with and understand. With a keen sense of what are typically confusing, misused, and misunderstood concepts, they have developed innovative materials, including the use of animations, to communicate key concepts in ways that are intuitive and easily understood.

Instructors
"Dr. Wachs' teaching approach was exceptionally well suited for this course...Every time students had difficulty understanding a concept, Dr. Wachs was ready with an example to clarify the use of SPC in real engineering applications."
"Steve is an excellent instructor who taught a difficult subject in a way that was easier to understand."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the entire seminar. Steve taught us DOE methods in a simple and organized framework."
"Dr. Wachs was an outstanding instructor. She was able to bring to light many real-world examples to aid the teaching process. I felt her experience was particularly valuable. I have used much of the material I learned on my job just in the past 3 months."
"Steve is an excellent instructor who went out of his way to make sure you understood the information."
