SPS LLC offers one-, three-, and five-day courses on SPS. Each of them is based on the SPS book and the SPS software mentioned under the WHAT IS SPS tab. The handout for each course includes the SPS book and a set of hands-on exercises based on PMA and PSE Toolbox.

 

• One-day course is intended to provide a general introduction to SPS (based on an extended version of Chapter 1 of the SPS book and a few hands-on exercises).

• Three-day course, in addition to the above, includes the elements of PSE (based on Chapter 4), detailed description of PSE Toolbox and PMA (based Chapters 5 and 6, respectively), and an example of PMA-based SPS operation (based on one of the last four chapters of the SPS book, depending on the course attendees’ interests). A few additional hands-on exercises will also be provided.

• Five-day course includes most of the SPS book material. In addition to hands-on exercises, it includes a project, wherein the participants will design and implement (in software) a PMA-based SPS for a production system of their interest.

 

These courses can be offered either in-person at participants’ plants, or in Ann Arbor, Michigan, or online.

 

Upon successful completion of these courses, the participants will receive a corresponding certificate of SPS training.
