Six Sigma Tools for Improve and Control

Course Overview

This course provides learners with the tools and techniques necessary to complete the analyze, improve, and control phases of the Six Sigma DMAIC process. Learners will gain an understanding of the importance of a control plan and its key characteristics for maintaining process improvements. They will also learn about relationships from data using correlation and regression, as well as the different hypothesis terms in hypothesis testing. Additionally, learners will be exposed to the fundamentals of Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, and Quality Management. Through the use of readings, discussions, lecture videos, and quizzes, learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of the concepts and tools necessary to successfully complete the Six Sigma DMAIC process.

[Applications]
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to apply the tools and techniques learned to improve and control processes in their own organizations. They should be able to use correlation and regression to identify relationships from data, understand the different hypothesis terms in hypothesis testing, and create a control plan to maintain process improvements. Additionally, they should be able to use the Certified Six Sigma Handbook (2nd edition) as a reference for further study and to gain certification from professional agencies such as ASQ.
