8D Problem Solving
8D is the global problem solving method of choice for business and industry, and a mandatory quality deliverable in many sectors such as aerospace and automotive. The 8D approach focuses on analysing and improving the control systems that allow problems to escape. By implementing a robust and structured problem solving approach it is possible to correctly identify the root causes to prevent future occurrence. Applying the 8D toolkit also requires many skills in analytical thinking and decision making, and develops best practice behavioural and leadership skills which can then transfer to any business or team challenge.
Design of Experiments
Design of Experiments (DoE) is a powerful and practical way to analyse multifactor process/product variances. This course provides practical, hands-on training in the application of Design of Experiments (DoE), exploring the essential elements that range from upfront requirements needed to launch an experiment (planning, resource support, stakeholder approvals) all the way through to running the experiment and analysing results. The training explores different types of DoE which are suitable for a wide variety of applications and market sector uses for both product development to process optimisation.
Minitab Foundation

Project Management Practitioner
Would you like your next project to run to schedule and to budget? Do you want it to be a learning experience rather than a disaster survived? This course will ensure you have the essential tools and understanding to guarantee the successful delivery of your next project.
Process FMEA aligned with AS13100/RM13004
FMEA is an analytical method to ensure potential problems have been considered, assessed for risk and actioned as part of product and process design. This workshop steps though a practical case study based workshop to cover the Process FMEA and Control Plan requirements for AS13004 as well as highlighting the importance of integrating Design and Process FMEA.
8D Problem Solving aligned with AS13100/RM13000
The AS13100 standard requires that aerospace suppliers use the 8D process to respond to a customer request for corrective and preventive action. By implementing a robust and structured problem solving approach it is possible to correctly identify the root causes to prevent future occurrence. Applying the 8D toolkit also requires many skills in analytical thinking and decision making, and develops best practice behavioural and leadership skills which can then transfer to any business or team challenge.
APQP/PPAP Foundation aligned with AS9145
APQP drives a quality focused approach to product development through the use of a phased planning process. It consists of five phases starting with conceptual product needs and extending throughout the product life cycle. This training is aligned with the AS9145 standard which defines the aviation, space, and defence process requirements for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP).
Human Factors Awareness aligned with RM13010
The concept of ‘Human Factors’ represents the way that People, Programmes & Processes, the Work Environment, Organisation and Equipment – all work together as a system. With the individual at the centre of that system: any flaws in the system impact the performance of the individual, and any flaws in the individual impact the system. Evidencing that Human Factors have been considered is now a mandatory requirement embedded into the SAE AS13100 standard and as such a reference manual RM13010 has been written to provide supplemental information and guidance on this key topic. This half-day workshop provides a concise introduction to the range of human factors that can affect performance and which should considered in relation to any improvement or problem solving campaign.
SABRe4.1 Essentials
SABRe is the well-established Rolls Royce standard for supply chain quality. This standard has evolved over 20 years and is now in its 4th Edition, with the most recent update to SABRe4.1 being made in December 2023. Industry standards have been used as the foundation for many of its requirements. Recently, key aerospace engine manufacturers, through the organisation AESQ, have collaborated to produce the standard AS13100 – which is now the basis for SABRe4.1. This industry harmonisation has resulted in a reduced set of unique Roll Royce requirements. This course covers the new requirements and structure of SABRe4.1 and is designed to help suppliers to transition from SABRe 3 to the new edition.
AS13100 Overview
Suppliers with multiple customers have had to previously conform to a variety of quality requirements. This has resulted in different standards of practice. Recently, key aerospace engine manufacturers, through the organisation AESQ, have collaborated to produce the standard AS13100 which is now becoming the basis for many company quality standards. This industry harmonisation has resulted in a focused set of requirements. This course covers the new requirements of AS13100 to enable companies to plan their transition and compliance.

Measurement System Analysis
Manufacturers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to obtain adequate confidence in their measurement systems. This is important for process control, for the assurance of quality, and for process improvement. This highly practical course will enable delegates to assess the performance of new and existing measurement systems, and considers how improvements can be introduced when they are found to be necessary.
