Overview/Description
Have you ever tried to change your life with a diet or exercise program, only to backslide and lose all the positive changes you made? It's easy to lose sight of the ultimate goal--improved health and fitness--after reaching your goal weight and fitness level. Maintaining positive changes takes just as much effort and vigilance as making the changes initially. Likewise for businesses--the benefits of Six Sigma performance aren't achieved simply by a completing a series of projects. Achieving Six Sigma performance takes vision, commitment, time, and vigilance. To assist with maintaining gains, the Six Sigma Control phase outlines tools and techniques for the Black Belt to use. In this course, you will learn about Measurement System Re-analysis. During this phase, measurement system capability is re-assessed to ensure it remains adequate for the ever-improving process capability. You will focus on improving measurement system capability as the process capability improves. You'll learn about ongoing measures and actions used to sustain improvement and maintain the drive toward Six Sigma perfection.
