The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC), in conjunction with North Carolina State University (NCSU), will offer a workshop titled, 'Improving Dyeing and Finishing Operations Using Six Sigma', at the AATCC Technical Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
The program will be held July 17-20, 2006 and August 14-17, 2006 and consists of two four-day weeks for a total of eight class days. The instructor will be Cliff L Seastrunk, Lead Instructor for Six Sigma programs at NCSU.
The workshop will target QC managers, technical managers, production managers, plant and manufacturing superintendents, department heads, lab personnel, fabric and garment development personnel, R&D managers, process engineers, process improvement specialists, dye and chemical suppliers, and shift supervisors.
This program is modeled after the highly successful Green Belt program at NCSU, customized specifically for the Dyeing and Finishing manufacturing sector. The data and case studies will be from real world situations encountered while working with various Dyeing and Finishing operations over the years.
Each participant must bring a laptop computer in order to load the JMP software and to practice the Six Sigma tools. It is strongly recommended that each person bring a company-selected project that will reinforce the application of the tools and techniques taught in the program. The project will also produce savings/improvements that will off-set the cost of the training.
