Optimize Plant Performance Using Multivariate Data Analysis

This course will help you prepare for the certification exam and the exam fee is waived with this course.
Manufacturers are collecting more data than ever but face the challenge of deriving useful information from these large data sets. Part of the challenge is understanding the relationships amongst all the available variables (raw materials, process conditions etc.) and how these relationships impact process performance (yield, final quality etc.). Aspen ProMV finds the independent driving forces affecting process performance and effectively extracts actionable insights from available historical data. Learn how to use this desktop software on your historical process data to improve understanding of key process relationships.

Audience:

Engineers / scientists / statisticians responsible for process troubleshooting, control and optimization
