Introduction to Six Sigma
- 4 Videos
- 20m
In this section we’re introduced to both lean and six sigma while also learning how they can be used together in harmony.View Course
Project Selection
- 8 Videos
- 56m
Now that we’ve covered some important foundational work it’s time to learn how to identify a good project. This step is extremely important since a poorly scoped project has little hope of success.View Course
Process Mapping & Selected Tools
- 7 Videos
- 38m
The ability to understand how material and processes flow, while also identifying the “inputs” or “Xs” to a process, is at the heart of the DMAIC methodology. So, in this section we’ll learn about different types of process maps while also learning how to take the information learned from process mapping into additional tools like the C&E Matrix and FMEA in order to narrow the lists of inputs down to the “critical few.” To be sure, many problems can be solved during this phase of a project, so it’s really time to dig in!View Course
Introduction to Statistics
- 2 Videos
- 6m
Statistics is the science of collecting, analyzing, presenting, and interpreting data. Statistics provides methods for designing experiments, techniques for analyzing data, and making informed decisions. Learn the differences between descriptive and inferential statistics, and how to use each. This discipline is essential for enabling professionals and researchers to evaluate trends, test theories, and drive improvement and innovation in any industry.View Course
Descriptive Statistics
- 1 Videos
- 6m
Accurately interpreting data collected during testing phases is crucial for enhancing processes and workflows. Descriptive statistics are summary measures that describe, show, or summarize the characteristics of data in a meaningful way. Ensuring that all team members are proficient in descriptive statistics and their proper application, we can make informed decisions that drive performance improvements.View Course
Graphs
- 12 Videos
- 22m
The ability to graph data is supremely important. But with so many graphs to choose from how do we choose the correct one? This series of videos answers that question for you!View Course
Inferential Statistics
- 38 Videos
- 2h 32m
Having a solid understanding of the scientific method and how to study a small sample of data in order to make decisions about an entire population is what usually separates excellent Continuous Improvement Practitioners from average ones. In the next series of videos we really dig into topics such as hypothesis testing and normality. Finally, you will never need to use ALL of these tools in a single project… but it’s still important you understand the tool allowing you to use it when the time is right.View Course
Statistical Process Control
- 2 Courses
- 28 Videos
Statistical Process Control, or SPC, is a method to monitor, control, and enhance processes. SPC enables us to build consistent, predictable processes by studying data over time and minimizing variation. Learn the five steps of Statistical Process Control, how to create a sampling plan, set subgroup sizes and sample sizes, the difference between attribute and variable data, how to select and create the appropriate type of Control Chart for each situation, and more.View Courses
Process Capability
- 9 Videos
- 46m
Have you ever wondered what “Six Sigma” really means from a statistical perspective? If so, you’re about to learn. Additionally, you’re also going to learn the key relationship between the Voice of the Customer and the Voice of Process as well as how to measure this relationship with Process Capability Analysis.View Course
ANOVA
- 7 Videos
- 47m
ANOVA, which stands for Analysis of Variance, is a fundamental statistical concept that is used in things such as Measurement Systems Analysis, Regression, and DOE. In this section, we’ll learn what ANOVA is as well as how we can leverage it in order to run experiments.View Course
Regression
- 9 Videos
- 51m
When applicable, being able to determine how “correlated” variables are can be extremely enlightening as it can allow us to build predictive models. But, as you will learn, there is a key difference between correlation and causation so settle in and prepare to have some fun with regression!View Course
Measurement System Analysis
- 6 Videos
- 38m
Can you trust the data that you’re analyzing? If you’re not sure… you definitely need to perform a measurement system analysis. Now, to be sure, we’ll typically perform an MSA early in our project but since there are so many advanced statistical concepts, like ANOVA, used in an MSA we had to make you wait a bit before sharing it with you. The good news is the wait is over!View Course
Design of Experiments
- 13 Videos
- 1h 57m
Design of Experiments, or DOE, is one of the most powerful tools available to Lean & Six Sigma practitioners. Sadly, many people simply don’t understand what an authentic DOE is or, in some cases, some practitioners mistakenly believe their one factor at a time experiment is in fact a DOE when, really, it isn’t.View Course
Continuous Improvement & Control
- 3 Videos
- 27m
Once processes are improved it’s critical we keep them from backsliding. As such, the ability to leverage tools like Control Plans, Poka Yoke, and SPC are must use tools.View Course
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- 16 Videos
- 1h 18m
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, abbreviated FMEA, is a structured approach for identifying the ways that a product or process can fail, what causes the failure, and how this affects the customer. Learn how to apply FMEA to improving the safety, reliability, and performance of processes, products, and services.View Course
The DMAIC Process
- 8 Videos
- 12m
DMAIC is a five-phase approach for designing, delivering, and sustaining improvement projects. Learn the objectives of each phase, the structured activities of each phase, common statistical tools and analysis techniques used during each phase, how to conduct tollgate reviews between each phase, and how project leaders must handle project closure.View Course
8D Problem Solving
- 11 Videos
- 52m
The 8D problem-solving process was established in the early 1980s by the Ford Motor Company with the goal of standardizing and improving problem-solving capabilities in their supply chain. Launched under the name of “Team Oriented Problem-Solving Using the Eight Disciplines,” it’s commonly practiced as 8D. Learn how to form teams, contain problems, scope projects, identify root causes, implement corrective actions and preventive measures, and recognize the team’s success.View Course
