“The
only way that I could describe the Design of Experiments class
would be as a resounding success.
Allise’s style and teaching ability rivals some of the
BEST that we have ever seen here.
Those who completed the course and will advance to
Advanced Design of Experiments have unanimously requested
that Allise be contracted as the instructor.”

“What
sets Allise apart from other trainers is her understanding of
manufacturing processes and her ability to teach statistics and
apply it to real manufacturing examples.
She keeps the interest of her audience due to her
enthusiasm for the subject and by applying the training to our
processes and products. Allise’s
guidance has been instrumental in the statistical methods we use
to reduce variation and optimize our production.”

“I
worked directly with Dr. W. Edwards Deming from 1984 to 1993.
Allise Wachs is the best instructor of process control,
design of experiments, and problem solving tools that I have
ever worked with since my friendship with Dr. W. Edwards Deming.
Allise
is the best consultant I have worked with in solving complex
problems by using Design of Experiments.
Her work with my quality and manufacturing engineers

Testimonials

“Dr.
A. Wachs is a professional loaded with passion and talent to
teach “thinking.” It
is a unique ability to make a group of 20+ professionals excited
about a class.”
“The
instructor has a great grasp of the material and a fantastic
ability to actually communicate the concepts to make people
understand.”
“I
don’t think anyone else can do a better job.”
“Knowledgable,
competent, personable, opposite of academic arrogance…combined
industrial and academic experience and background to make a
powerful educator of a challenging topic.”
“Steve
has a natural talent for teaching and helped us use more brain
than technology.”
“Thanks
for the great instruction at the Reliability Analysis Workshop
I learned so much from the two of you!
You answered a lot of my heretofore unanswered questions
regarding statistics.”
“I
got more in three days than from 20+ years in manufacturing.
Allise has an excellent command of the material and has
been able to share her knowledge with us.”
“The
best seminar I have ever sat through.
Will drive a change to the way we implement SPC.”
“Steve
is an excellent instructor who went out of his way to make sure
you understood the information.”
“A
joy to learn from.”
“Very
clear, easy to follow, very different approach.”
“This
course gave me more useful information in two days than I could
have anticipated. Steve
was excellent!”
“Excellent
overview of SPC – this course should be mandatory for all
engineers in the plants.”
“I
just wanted to tell you that the SPC training we took at FPC was
very good, easily the best training I have had since employed
here. Sometimes
when instructors are so knowledgeable, it’s hard for them to
teach at a level where all can understand.
They were great, didn’t move too slow or too quick.
I really learned a lot.”
“It
is good to see the mathematics behind what goes into the
software calculations for estimating the best distribution to
use for reliability data. Steve
did a great job.”
“Allise
has the rare ability to make a non-interesting subject very
exciting.”
“Dr. Wachs’ teaching approach was exceptionally well suited
for this course…Every time participants had difficulty
understanding a concept, Dr. Wachs was ready with an example to
clarify the use of Statistis in real engineering
applications.”
“Dr.
Wachs was an outstanding instructor.
She was able to bring to light many real-world examples
to aid the teaching process.
I felt her experience was particularly valuable.
I have used much of the material I learned on my job just
in the past 3 months.”
“Steve
is an excellent instructor who taught a difficult subject in a
way that was easy to understand.”
“Just
what we needed to get serious about SPC.
Allise was serious yet entertaining.
She made the class enjoyable”.
“Was well taught at a good pace.
Was interesting and useful.
I’m actually looking forward to going to the plant and
using new knowledge.”
I
thoroughly enjoyed the entire seminar. Steve taught us DOE methods in a simple and organized
framework.
“It
cleared a lot of my misconceptions and I am getting to enjoy
learning SPC.”
“I
have had 5 single day SPC training sessions.
This was by far the best one.
This tied up several loose ends left over from the other
sessions, and brought it all together for me.”
“This
is the best SPC class I have had in my professional career in
statistical control of over 20 years.”
“The
course notes are first class…the best I’ve ever seen.”
