Course Delivery Options

You Come to Our Classroom

Our classroom, located in Southfield Michigan, is generally the recommended option when possible. It has a computer for every student, fully setup with all the necessary software, and is always well-stocked with snacks. It offers a distraction-free learning environment along with a rare chance to network with other Quality professionals embarking on the same journey. There are reasonably priced hotels in the area and lots of great restaurants nearby for attendees to wind down after a stimulating day of training. See Directions and Lodging.

We Go to Your Classroom

When you have more than four employee administrators to train then your classroom may be more economical than sending them to visit us. All that is required is a computer for each student and projection capability for our instructor. DataNet trainers are often booked six weeks into the future so, if this option appeals to you, we suggest you get in touch with us as soon as you’ve decided to use this delivery method.

Virtual Classroom

The virtual classroom enables your administrator trainee to join our classroom to virtually train from wherever they may be. The user experience is as much like the in-person experience as we can make it.  Attendees still get access to their own virtual WinSPC computer as well as live access to the instructor and classroom communication.  It is suitable for quickly ramping-up brand new users, for use as a refresher for employees to review concepts, or to update experienced users on new WinSPC features such as the soon-to-be-released Multi-Variate Analyzer.

Virtual training can also be purchased for custom topics to permit deep dives on topics like Custom Web Reporter, QualTrend, Report Generation, Cost Inspector, Dashboards, etc.

Recorded Training

Recorded training is an option for customers who have a very limited training budget. Like the Virtual Classroom, it is also an option for users who have been to classroom training but would like to review WinSPC concepts, or for users who need to understand key concepts but are not yet able to attend a classroom session.

You can easily set up alerts to get immediate SPC feedback and catch quality control issues before they become a problem. 

  • StatBoard ®
    SQCpack’s StatBoard® is a real-time process summary dashboard that summarizes several processes into one simple control chart software ranking to adjust production and make decisions that prioritize improvements.

Improve your quality performance by using capability analysis to assess whether your process is statistically capable of meeting specifications or requirements. Ensure processes are on target with minimal variation with a selection of capability analysis calculations.
