I’m hunting for courses that go beyond tool demos and cover SPC, MSA, and CAPA tailored to lab workflows. We cut remakes from 4.8% to 2.6% this year with a standardized intake checklist and a three-point shade verification, and I’m looking for CE that helps tighten control charts and plan a proper gauge R&R — any instructors or programs that delivered measurable results for you?
ASQ Green Belt (not dental-specific) gave us SPC/MSA; 10x3 Easyshade gage R&R dropped remakes 3.9% to 2.1% — https://asq.org/training.
NADL quality systems webinar on CAPA/SPC tightened our p-charts; light on MSA. https://nadl.org.
We turned one CLE on UFLPA into a lab CE: built a vendor–SKU checklist, log country of origin for zirconia/alloys, and ask for ‘no forced labor’ attestations. Useful, but lawyer content rarely shows how to tie it to POs — this CBP overview helps: Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act | U.S. Customs and Border Protection. @IPCraig on the trademark angle, we keep a tiny brand‑use guide for case photos so we don’t overreach — belt and suspenders or fair enough?
