• Six Sigma Quality Improvement Workshops:
  Dates: TBA
  Price: $600.00
  
  Adopt six sigma quality improvement tools and techniques as a powerful methodology to achieve your strategic goals with minimal investment required. Three popular workshops are currently being offered that will develop attendees as internal experts in utilizing and applying modern management techniques:
  
  Implementing Statistical Process Control
  You have collected process data, but now what? It is nearly impossible to control processes-let alone improve them- without the application of statistical tools. Statistical process control may seem intimidating, but it does not have to be. This course will help you understand the powerful statistical tools that are available and be able to use them to make the most of your organizational processes.
  
  Learn ways to control processes and thus ensure that they meet established performance criteria. Discover different ways to plot data using control charts that are appropriate to the type of data you want to examine. Understand the different types of control charts. Be able to determine which control charts are most appropriate in which situations and with which kinds of data sets. Concepts are introduced using Minitab 16 and demonstrated with in classroom experiments.
  
  Course Objectives:

  • Present methods that facilitate process control and signal situations where processes deviate from established targets
  • Introduce the various types of control charts that are appropriate for specific data sets
  • Learn the pitfalls of working with control charts
  • Use hands-on tools to completely understand the fundamentals SPC
  
  
  Applying Design of Experiments (DOE)
  Are you unsure which process variables have an impact on the output of your process? Are there too many variables to address? If so, it is time to consider a computer-aided designed experiment. In this workshop, learn the fundamental concepts of widely used DOE methodologies in a logical and practical sequence. These concepts will help you gather valuable information about how process variables behave and interact with each other for significantly less cost. All concepts are illustrated with classroom experiments and analyzed using Minitab software.
  
  Course Objectives:

  • Learn how DOE can be used to characterize or improve processes.
  • Recognize the advantages of experimenting by changing variable settings simultaneously (instead of one at a time)
  • Learn how to screen variables to determine which are indeed factors in your process
  • Learn how to go beyond screening to determine settings for the variables that will produce the best results for the output variable
  • Recognize ways and procedures to reduce the number of experimental trials and still obtain sound results that will help you characterize or improve your process
  • Learn about other DOE methodologies that may be useful to your own applications
  • Learn how DOE thinking can help you avoid spending money on expensive data collection that may not help you understand or improve your processes.
  
  
  Introduction to Minitab 16
  Minitab is a comprehensive statistical system that has become a standard tool set for most six sigma quality improvement projects. The software was specifically designed to be user friendly, but yet facilitates many analytical tools of the present day manager. In this workshop we will introduce the student to the Minitab 16 environment and demonstrate how to develop improvement tools. The course is a great primer for anyone interested in six sigma quality improvements.
  
  Course Objectives:

  • Learn how to manipulate data and calculate basic statistics
  • Learn how to create Minitab Quality Tools including Pareto Charts and Cause and effect Diagrams
  • Perform a Capability Analysis
  • Learn how to perform regression analysis and ANOVA

  
  Who Should Attend:
  Managers and professionals who are engaged in controlling process data to ensure that they meet established targets, or engaged in process improvement activity as well as associated quality, engineering, manufacturing, process, human resource and industrial personnel. The workshop is also valuable for anyone involved in a Lean and/or Six Sigma deployment.
  
  Course Materials:
  Minitab 16 is used throughout the workshop. This course can be given both online, or in KSC Room 102A which has Minitab 16 capability

5 Day Workshop: Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

Saturdays: 5/4, 5/11, 5/18, 6/1, 6/8
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
$2500.00 Per Person
This course integrates both Lean and six Sigma methodologies to help team members select and complete DMAIC projects. The first half of the training covers Lean approaches, leadership and team building, and an introduction to Minitab. The second half develops Six Sigma skills, problem solving, and data driven decision making.

Course objectives

• Define Lean and essential tools for lean management
• Define waste and the eight categories of waste
• Explain in general terms the meaning of “Six Sigma” and why it is important
• Identify the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) approach to problem solving
• Develop skills for the five DMAIC phases
• Identify a project and apply new skills to make improvements

Who Should Attend
Anyone participating in Lean Six Sigma or process improvement; applicable to staff, supervisors, managers and directors in areas such as healthcare, operations, customer service, engineering and quality assurance
