In this episode, I discuss 6-sigma, statistical process control, and the role of materials engineering in developing capable manufacturing processes.

Materials are used to fabricate components and join components together. And, we want manufacturing processes capable of producing components and assemblies without defects or problems, and whose materials have the desired properties. So, developing and maintaining a six-sigma manufacturing process depends heavily on materials engineering. To learn more about this subject, check out 6 Sigma and Materials Engineering.
