Description
Dear Learners,Welcome to this course on the "Six Sigma-The Measure Phase". I have prepared lectures covering each of the DMAIC phases of Six Sigma, separately, to enable learners with shorter time to grasp all topics with ease. This course is covered in "2 sections" & "15 nicely spaced lectures". I am Parag Dadeech, with extensive leadership experience across diversified business sectors. I have lived and worked in the US, SE Asia and India and have led a gamut of high value business projects (green field as well brown field), operational excellence engagements, as well as Technology joint ventures.Wishing you an enjoyable learning experience.Section-1 (A solid start to Measure phase):Lecture-1Introduction Lecture-2• What is Measure phase• Understanding a Process• Key Goals in Measure phaseLecture-3• Operational definition • Methods to collect dataLecture-4• Understanding process mapping• Types of process maps• SIPOC, Flow chart, cross functional flow chartLecture-5• Understanding Value stream mapping• Practical illustration of VSM• Benefits of VSMLecture-6• Understanding different types of Data• How to execute Data collection planLecture-7• Sample and Population• Sampling Process• Different types of sampleLecture-8• What is Measurement system analysis (MSA)• Understanding precision and accuracy• How much Measurement system error is acceptableLecture-9• Quick grasp of basic statistics• Understanding measures of central tendency• Understanding measures of variationSection-2 (Understanding your process thoroughly):Lecture-10• Understanding normal distribution• What is standard normal distribution• Concept of Z ValueLecture-11• What is Process base line• Understanding Run chartsLecture-12• Process capability• Understanding Cp (potential process capability)• Sigma level and ppmLecture-13• Understanding Cpk (actual process capability)• Practical illustration of Cpk• Sigma level across different industriesLecture-14• Yield (Multi-step process)• Concept of DPMO• Practical illustration of DPMOLecture-15• SummaryWish you an enjoyable learning experience.
