Overview/Description
The Six Sigma® DMAIC system is a roadmap that shows the way to process and performance improvement. The second phase in the roadmap, the Measure phase, provides a methodology and tools for establishing a baseline of current processes. This baseline is your starting point for process improvement. A critical part of establishing baselines is collecting data that will enable you to learn the current status of performance and processes, monitor improvement efforts, and evaluate success at the conclusion of those efforts. Data puts teeth into process improvement and provides solid evidence that your efforts are bearing fruit.
In this course, you will learn about collecting and summarizing data. You will learn how to plan for data collection and design a useful and professional-looking data collection vehicle, how to choose an appropriate check sheet for data collection purposes, how to create an effective sampling strategy, and how to conduct a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
