Topics Covered
Topic: DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) Process Improvement. In this overarching topic, the DMAIC structured problem solving methodology is described and used. The phases of DMAIC lead a team logically from defining the problem to implementing changes to assuring improvements stick. The tools applicable to the various phases of DMAIC will be demonstrated through exercises.
Topic: Statistical Process Control and Process Capability. In this topic, the simple but powerful Statistical Process Control tool is demonstrated and exercised to study key business processes and product characteristics. In this way the participant will learn to identify and predict process performance patterns.
Topic: Statistics for Effective Process Improvements. This topic introduces and teaches advanced statistical tools that help participants determine what process and product data should be collected, interpret the data, and make decisions that maximize the effectiveness of process improvement activities.
Topic: Introduction to Designed Experiments. This topic provides participants with the tools necessary to identify those inputs critical to the target process, and then set optimum levels for these inputs by performing Full and Fractional Factorial Designed Experiments.
