The top 10 Production Process courses you need to take

1. Engineering and Product Design Processes

Welcome to “Engineering and Product Design Processes!” In this short course, you will learn how engineering design processes and product design processes are carried out. After the course, you will be familiar with the steps in both design processes. You will also be familiar with the main goal of each design process, as well as their similarities and differences...

2. Ready to Roll – The Video Production Process

If you’ve done your pre-production thoroughly, then you should feel confident moving on to this next step — gathering the raw materials that you will use to build your visual story. These raw materials are your camera shots, including b-roll and interviews. The production stage is where you will finally collect the images and sound that will communicate directly to your audience. We’ll show you how to enhance your visual story by raising the quality of your shots: getting proper exposure, using the rule of thirds; and shooting sequences that promote continuity. We’ll also cover the importance of sound in your production, from recording natural sounds to interviews. Would you like to add mood and atmosphere to your interviews? We’ll teach you how to light an interview to help your subject look their best. Think of your footage as visual evidence that shows, not just tells your story...

3. Engineering Design Process - Product Development

4.5

(76)

In this course, you will learn how to plan, develop, and maintain a physical product according to a systematic method without having to rely on elusive creativity or luck. The content of this course is based on the German Konstruktionslehre (En. Theory of Design) - an engineering methodology established in the 1970s, taught at elite German technical universities and used by many organizations. The premise of this method is to give engineers or product designers the tools and resources to easily break down any technical problem and arrive at an optimal solution that fulfills the customer's needs. Together with Design Sprint, TRIZ and VDI 2221, the German Konstruktionslehre is one of the most commonly applied design methods in the industry. We will start by getting to know the scope and background of modern Product Development Processes, the current trends and challenges that impact the way we work. We will then learn why a systematic approach is best suited for tackling product development and introduce methods that form the basise of our technique. Once this is covered, we will jump into the hands-on part of the course. It starts with gathering the product requirements, formulating its specs, and setting up a solution-neutral, graphical representation of our product's functionality - the Function Structure. It serves as a basis for developing discrete engineering solutions for each functionality and combining them into a working Product Concept. In the next step, we will learn how to transform the Concept into a final product ready to be manufactured, applying rules for simple, clear, and safe design. The resulting Embodiment Design of the product forms a basis for Simulation, CAD modeling, Tolerancing and Dimensioning, and Rapid Prototyping. The last chapter will teach you how to recognize, trigger, and handle Engineering Change Management after the Product release to accommodate changing customers' needs. By the end of this course, you will be able to systematically develop your product idea and design it into a successful product without the risk of getting stuck or arriving at a sub-optimal result...

4. Mechanical design and Product development process

(604)

Product development is the process through which  a mechanical product is realized from just an idea into a fully detailed entity ready for production. This course is an attempt to cover that process at an introductory level covering all the key concepts, ideas and details from a perspective of a Mechanical design engineer. The course is structured in a way as to build on the product development process step by step. From the way an Idea is generated, incubated, to how a concept is generated, evaluated, how specifications are created and set  towards the system design of a product , followed by a overview of  activities in Detailed design and prototyping. Topics covered: Opportunity identification and product idea generationWhat are customer needs?What are specifications and when are they set ? how are they set?How are concepts generated?How to select and score concepts?Techniques for Generating ideas and conceptsWhat is modularity? and difference between modular designs and integral designsWhat is product architecture  along with the example of a Vehicle architectureImportance of the Engineering drawing in Detail designDesign for X and Design for manufacturing and Assembly Types of prototypes and the purpose of prototypingWhat you will learn from this course?To understand the overall process of product development and develop a Holistic understanding of how products are developedTo learn ways of developing ideas, opportunities for new product developmentTo understand concepts like product architecture, modularity  and Interfaces relating to mechanical design...

5. The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)

4.5

(1,218)

The Product Part Approval Process, commonly called PPAP, is used around the world in a variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, appliance, agriculture, and heavy truck as the final gate before launching a new part into production. The purpose of thee PPAP system is to 1) determine if the supplier understands the part's engineering requirements, and 2) if the supplier is capable of consistently meeting those requirements. You will learn how and why to use PPAP, the benefits of the system, and a detailed overview of each of the core 18 elements including:1. Design record2. Authorized Engineering Change Documents3. Customer Engineering Approval4. Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA)5. Process Flow Diagram (PFD)6. Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA)7. Process Control Plan8. Measurement System Analysis (MSA) Studies9. Dimensional Results10. Material and Performance Test Results11. Initial Process Studies12. Qualified Laboratory Documentation13. Appearance Approval Report (AAR)14. Sample Production Parts15. Master Sample16. Checking Aids17. Customer-specific Requirements18. Part Submission Warrant (PSW)By signing up for this class, you not only get 2+ hours of high-quality, practical training on the PPAP system, but also a set of PPAP templates that you can download and adapt to your own organization. PPAP skills are an essential part of the quality professional's skill set. They are in demand and highly transferable across industries and organizations. The working knowledge of PPAP's you gain in this class will give you the upper hand you've been looking for to advance your career.

7. Design of Experiments for Product, Process & Quality Manager

4.5

(176)

Structured Experimentation or Design of Experiment (DOE) helps Product Engineers to develop and refine designs. It is simply  not possible to develop optimal designs that deliver right product  performance without understanding the relationship between dependent and  independent factors (& within independent factors). Unstructured  experimentation consumes indefinite resources and time, that no  organizations have. This is true for both Engineering Product Managers and Service Product Managers. Similarly, both Engineering and Service Process Managers cannot optimize process parameters or design products without conducting structured experiments. Quality Managers have to constantly improve the quality of product, its  reliability and that cannot happen without improvising design in a structured manner. As a part of DMAIC or DFSS improvement projects, Lean Six Sigma Black Belts & Lean Six Sigma Green Belts are expected to find ways to improve the process and optimize it and it would not be possible with knowledge of structured experimentation (Design of Experiments - DOE)This course is going to help Product and Process Engineering Managers from both Service & Engineering Sectors  to learn DOE from scratch. Practical Knowledge of DOE is non-negotiable for any Product, Process, Quality Managers & Lean Six Sigma Black Belts. Target Audience: Product ManagersProcess ManagersQuality ManagersLean Six Sigma Black Belts What you will accomplish after completing this course: After completing the course you will be able to plan, set up, perform and  analyze Full Factorial, Fractional Factorial and Taguchi DOEWhat is Covered: Structured ExperimentsTypes of ExperimentsPhases of ExperimentsTerms used in DOEFull Factorial Experiment (Performing & Analyzing)Fractional Factorial Experiment (Performing & Analyzing)Taguchi Designs (Performing & Analyzing)...
