Six Sigma - Analyse, Improve, Control

Overview

You will learn how to perform correlation and regression analyses in order to confirm the root cause and understand how to improve your process and plan designed experiments.

You will learn how to implement statistical process control using control charts and quality management tools, including the 8 Disciplines and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis to reduce risk and manage process deviations.

To complement the lectures, learners are provided with interactive exercises, which allow learners to see the statistics "in action." Learners then master the statistical concepts by completing practice problems. These are then reinforced using interactive case-studies, which illustrate the application of the statistics in quality improvement situations.

Upon successful completion of this program, learners will earn the Technical University of Munich Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification, confirming mastery of the fundamentals of Lean Six Sigma to a Yellow Belt level, based on the American Society of Quality's Body of Knowledge for the Certified Six Sigma Yellow Belt. 

This Six Sigma - Analyse, Improve, Control Certificate is part of Six Sigma and Lean -  Quantitative Tools for Quality and Productivity Professional Certificate offered by EdX in partnership Technical University of Munich - TUMx.

What you'll learn

• To identify process problems and perform a root cause analysis using cause and effect diagrams and regression analysis.

• To analyze data using inferential statistical techniques, including confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.
• To test and quantitatively assess the impact of different improvement options using the design of an experiment.
• To test for the significance of effects using an Analysis of Variance.
• To implement control mechanisms for long-term monitoring using control charts for both quantitative and qualitative measurements.
• To apply the Six Sigma methodology for the Analyze, Improve and Control phases in your work or research.
