In this webinar we will introduce the concept of binary logistic regression using Minitab. This tool can be used to analyze process data that has only a pass/fail output. We will primarily discuss the use of continuous variables as predictors (or causes), but we will also discuss how to use the tool to perform a logistic ANOVA or a logistic DOE. **The audio will begin a few minutes before the video appears.

Design of Experiments (DOE) provides a structured approach where a small number of test trials can efficiently and effectively determine the response effects from multiple factors.
In this webinar we will start with a typical SIPOC analysis of a process and show how it can be leveraged into a Value Stream Map (VSM). This knowledge will let the improvement practitioner, that is facing a more Lean-like problem, move rapidly from the project definition to a working VSM that can be the starting point for a waste or time reduction improvement effort. Take-aways: – Shows the relationship between the SIPOC and VSM; – Gives the practitioner a method to quick-start a VSM for any project.

Starting with employee communications, learn how to improve performance, reduce conflicts and align teams for effective and profitable business results. There is no better time to look at your corporate big picture! Now, more than ever, it
Organizations need a meaningful process capability analysis report methodology. Traditional process capability indices reports, including Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk, can be confusing and deceiving.

The disadvantages out weigh advantages when assessing balanced scorecard pros and cons! Having a balance in organizational scorecards is important but a natural balance, not forced balance, is much more beneficial. In addition, scorecards should give focus on the alignment of its performance scorecard measures to what is done when producing its product and services.

In Lean Six Sigma, much training effort is spent on conveying the importance of having a measurement system so that consistent and correct decisions are made relative to part quality and other assessments. Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) and Gage R&R study (Repeatability and Reproducibility) are an integral part of the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Green Belt training. It should be the goal of every organization to achieve the three Rs of business; i.e., everyone doing the Right things, and doing them Right, at the Right time. One tool that provides direction for achievement of the three Rs goal is process performance metrics; i.e., a process’ performance report-out should lead to the most appropriate action or non-action. This objective is not unlike an inspection gage MSA, which is to determine if inspectors can adequately determine whether a manufactured component should be accepted or rejected. Because of this performance-reporting need, it would seem that management and practitioners would be assessing how well current scorecard and metric reporting systems are doing from a MSA conceptual point of view. However, this does not seem to be occurring. The question is why do we not examine business metrics and process capability indices reporting from a MSA point of view with the same level of intensity that we do for product quality metrics? This one-hour Webinar will explain more on the magnitude of the issue: we’ll give focus to how Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk process capability indices’ reporting is sensitive to how a given process is sampled; i.e., an MSA issue. A predictive metric reporting system will then be described for overcoming not only the issues of process capability indices but general business-performance scorecards.
