Description

Q-Skills is a self paced, intranet or PC based, multimedia training product. Q-Skills provides both training and support in the use and interpretation of the major quality improvement tools and techniques. It includes a toolkit to allow students to create charts such as flowcharts, cause and effect diagrams, control charts and Pareto charts, once the training is complete.

Training Tool

Motivate your employees to learn about the major quality improvement tools; how to apply them and how to interpret the data from them. Users love the software because of its games, interactive exercises, puzzles and effects - for example, the mastery test is a game of snakes and ladders. Snakes and ladders as a training tool, dates back 500 years to India, where it was used to teach the principles of right and wrong.

Q-Skills is designed to be used by almost anyone, from any industry. It automatically detects a new or unskilled user and adapts to the experience of the user. Your employees will learn at their own pace.

Q-Skills ensures consistent training for all staff while reducing off-the-job time. It enables "slow" time to be more effectively utilised, while making training in remote locations easy.

Q-Skills simplifies training of new employees. It may also be configured as a refresher course for "old hands" by using the prior knowledge test.


Topics
Course topics include: introduction to quality and variation; brainstorming; flow charts; affinity diagrams; cause and effect; process cause and effect; sampling; stratification; check sheets; run, pie & bar charts; pareto diagrams; scattergrams; histograms; attribute and variable control charts; process capability; summaries of other tools and terminology.


Management Facilities
A training or quality manager can easily keep track of large numbers of users. It tracks who is at what stage, how they have performed and whether extra assistance or support is needed in certain areas or for particular individuals. This is particularly powerful when the course is accessed by many users across a network. The management area also provides extensive client customisation.


Performance Support and Toolkit Modules
Training alone is never enough. People forget what they have learned. A powerful performance support module is included to assist teams when and where they need it - in the workplace.

The toolkit gives direct access to the tools themselves. It allows teams to enter their own data to generate charts and graphs. The toolkit includes some unique features:
