Processes and Customer Analysis in Six Sigma Projects

Overview/Description A process is a means of creating and delivering products and services needed by customers. According to Takashi Osada, Japanese author and quality pioneer, "if the process is right, the results will take care of themselves." By Six Sigma standards, a "right process" is one that creates and delivers precisely what the customer needs. By this logic, no Six Sigma effort can start without having a high-level picture of an organization's customers and other stakeholders, their needs, and the business processes meant to fulfill those needs. A thorough analysis of the existing...

Quality Systems, Models, and Theories

Overview/Description The implementation of an effective quality system is a vital component of the success of any organization. Personnel at all levels in an organization must be aware of the quality mission, plan, and methodology it employs. A quality mission and plan that is well developed and properly implemented must be aligned to the corporate mission and vision statements and the strategic plan in order to be effective. As an organization evolves, its quality plan must be monitored and revised in order to reflect these changes. This course explores the quality mission, plan, and...

Six Sigma and Lean in the Organization

Overview/Description Six Sigma is a highly disciplined, data-driven improvement program that helps companies focus on eliminating defects in any process and delivering near-perfect products and services. Six Sigma has been globally accepted as a profitable and winning business strategy. More and more companies are embracing Six Sigma in a time when competition and sluggish markets have left operational efficiency and quality improvement as the only way to protect margins and win customer loyalty. Originally developed in Toyota's manufacturing operations, Lean is a continuous improvement...

Six Sigma Leadership and Change Management

Overview/Description The enterprise leaders in an organization play the most critical role in Six Sigma success. These leaders affect the deployment of Six Sigma in terms of providing resources, removing roadblocks, managing change, and communicating Six Sigma vision to all organizational members. Though Black Belts are not necessarily a part of the enterprise leadership, knowledge about leadership roles and perspectives helps Black Belts perform their own roles as Six Sigma leaders, and also in their regular interaction with these leaders. An organization's culture and its inherent...

Six Sigma Measurement Systems

Overview/Description Six Sigma measurement systems are vital to improving an organization's processes. Measurement systems encompass the conditions, devices, and the human element of measurement, which together must produce correct measurements and comply with appropriate standards. Measurement error, or measurement variability, is a problem whose components must be thoroughly understood and kept in check to maintain the effectiveness of any measurement system. Measurement variability contributes to the overall variability in the process and it is important to understand its sources and...

Six Sigma Projects and the Black Belt Role

Overview/Description Six Sigma deployments demand major investments of time, effort, and money on behalf of an organization. Organizations need to exercise due diligence to determine if Six Sigma is the appropriate approach to employ, or if a less demanding quality and process improvement approach is better suited to meeting their needs. Success of these improvement projects largely depends upon the Six Sigma teams that understand the project goals. Six Sigma Black Belts lead these teams and must have the qualities and qualifications required to deliver the expected results. This course...

Special Design Tools in Design for Six Sigma

Overview/Description Six Sigma offers many techniques and strategies to improve an organization's processes. This course covers the strategic and tactical special design tools that can be utilized as a Six Sigma team designs products, processes, or services. Strategic special design tools like Porter's five forces model, portfolio architecting, and set-based design can be used to achieve breakthroughs in design problems that seem unsolvable. Tactical special design tools such as the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), systematic design, critical parameter management, and Pugh analysis...

Statistical Process Control (SPC) in Six Sigma

Overview/Description Ensuring a process is in control is critical to any Six Sigma project, but how do you determine with certainty if a process is on track or requires improvement? Where do you find the 'proof' or solid facts that a process is out of control and requires intervention? By applying statistical process control (SPC) methods, a Six Sigma team can identify and control variation in a process. This course covers the basic concepts in statistical process control methodology, including the selection of variables and rational subgrouping. One of the most important tools used in SPC...

Statistical Process Control and Control Plans in Six Sigma

Overview/Description In the final stages of the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology, once process improvement opportunities are identified and implemented, you need to make sure that the improved processes are controlled to sustain the process improvement gains. Statistical process control (SPC) provides tools which can be used to ensure that the processes are continuously monitored, that results are evaluated through the use of various control charts, and that each process is prevented from reverting to its previous state. The goal of this stage is also to develop a control plan to document and hold...

Statistics and Probability in Six Sigma

Overview/Description Six Sigma bases its analysis and findings on the facts and figures at hand. Statistical studies and probability are the key tools that Six Sigma teams use to measure and analyze issues that are identified in the early stages of Six Sigma projects. This course explores basic statistical concepts that apply to Six Sigma. It distinguishes between enumerative and analytical statistics and population and sample characteristics, and describes the Central Limit Theorem. It also examines basic probability concepts and looks at dependent, independent, and mutually exclusive...
