  Correlations may arise in quantum systems through various means, of which the
most remarkable one is quantum entanglement. Additionally, there are systems
that exhibit non-classical correlations even in the absence of entanglement.
Quantum dissonance refers to how quantum discord (QD) -- the difference between
the total correlation and the classical correlation in a given quantum state --
appears as a non-classical correlation in a system without entanglement. It
could be said that QD has the potential to provide a more inclusive viewpoint
for discerning the non-classical correlations. In this work, we address the
problem of manipulating the QD between two subsystems through local operations.
We propose two explicit procedures for obtaining separable Werner states, a
type of mixed state with nonzero QD. Both approaches involve performing local
operations on classically correlated states and offers a step-by-step method
for obtaining separable Werner states with nonzero discord, providing an
alternative (explicit and user-friendly) to existing methods.
