What you'll learn

  • Use Pareto charts and scatter diagrams to identify and validate root causes
  • Define problems as quantifiable gaps and write effective problem statements
  • Develop implementation plans with clear milestones and stakeholder buy-in
  • Apply Fishbone diagrams and 5 Why technique for comprehensive cause analysis
  • Create process flow diagrams and identify critical defect zones accurately
  • Generate creative solutions using structured brainstorming and decision matrices
  • Establish measurement systems and standardize solutions for sustainability

Why should you attend?

This comprehensive training program equips participants with a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and resolving complex problems in electronics manufacturing environments. The methodology emphasizes structured problem-solving techniques that move beyond quick fixes to address root causes effectively. Participants begin by learning to properly define problems as quantifiable gaps rather than symptoms, developing clear problem statements that capture business impact. The course progresses through process mapping techniques, teaching learners to visualize current situations through flowcharts and identify critical defect zones. Data collection methods including tally sheets, run charts, and trend analysis provide the foundation for evidence-based decision making. Advanced analytical tools form the core of the methodology, including Fishbone diagrams for cause brainstorming, the 5 Why technique for deeper investigation, and Pareto charts for prioritizing issues. Participants master root cause identification through scatter diagrams and cross-validation techniques, building compelling problem stories supported by concrete evidence. The solution phase emphasizes creative brainstorming, feasibility analysis, and structured decision-making using scoring matrices. Implementation planning covers action plan development, stakeholder engagement, and resource allocation. The final phases focus on measuring results through Key Performance Indicator comparison, standardizing successful solutions through documentation and visual controls, and establishing sustainable audit systems for continuous improvement.

Trainer Profile
Trainer Profile
Habil Hadi Mohammed is a highly skilled Mechanical Engineer and Research Fellow specializing in advanced manufacturing technologies, with particular expertise in additive manufacturing, 3D printing, and functionally graded materials (FGM). Currently pursuing his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), he combines strong academic credentials with practical engineering experience to deliver innovative solutions across multiple industries. With a Master's degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering (CGPA 3.81/4) and a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, Habil has established himself as an expert in the rapidly evolving field of additive manufacturing. His research focuses on cutting-edge topics including multi-material 3D printing, material extrusion processes, and surface finishing techniques for FDM printed parts. His work has been recognized at international conferences in Slovenia, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, where he has presented papers on FGM implementation and material flow control in additive manufacturing. As a Research Fellow at UPM since 2021, Habil has demonstrated exceptional capabilities in software development, automation, and prototype design. He has successfully developed software for multi-material FGM 3D printers, designed automated sports equipment, and created hydroponic plant systems. His current role as a Developer Engineer for an international Swiss company showcases his ability to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, where he designs, programs, and develops machines using both 3D printing and conventional manufacturing techniques. Habil's technical proficiency spans multiple programming languages including Python, C/C++, Arduino, XCode, and Swift, complemented by expertise in CAD software such as AutoCAD, Fusion360, ANSYS, and SolidWorks. His analytical skills are enhanced by proficiency in data analysis tools including Minitab, SPSS, and Python. Beyond technical skills, his management experience as an Area Manager demonstrates strong leadership abilities, having successfully doubled sales through strategic planning and employee training. Multilingual and culturally adaptable, Habil brings a unique global perspective to engineering challenges, making him an invaluable asset for organizations seeking innovation in manufacturing technology and engineering education.
