For a given process, do you think everyone would create a similar looking control chart and make a comparable statement relative to its control and capability? Not necessarily. Process statements are not only a function of procedural characteristics and sampling chance differences but can also be very dependent upon sampling approach. The implication of this is that one person could describe a process as being out of control, which would lead to activities that immediately address process perturbations as abnormalities, while another person could describe the process as being in control. For this second interpretation, the perturbations are perceived as fluctuations typically expected within the process, where any long-lasting improvement effort involves looking at the whole process. During this session, issues with traditional control charting techniques (e.g., x-bar and R charts) and process capability indices statements (e.g., Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk) will be discussed. An enhanced alternative predictive performance measurement system will then be described that not only provides resolution to these issues but can also provide a predictive statement, which everyone can understand.
Join Rick in this webinar, where he will share lessons learned from years of analysis and coaching improvement projects. We will discuss the different considerations involved in the collection of representative data to make a decision, whether it is for a LSS project, a process control initiative, or the creation of enterprise performance scorecards. The goal is to effectively collect the smallest amount of data to make the decisions that are needed. This webinar will provide you with some of the rules and guidelines that will allow you to collect data on a process in an optimal method for the purpose you need. It is not true that more data is always good. You will learn how different sample periods and different sampling plans will be able to improve your ability to support a decision with a minimal amount of data. The topics covered will benefit practitioners in all environments, from large automatically collected data sets, to ones where you must manually collect any data you will need.

Smarter Solutions has come out with a new blended learning Lean Six Sigma training method that overcomes the traditional issues with non-instructor led training. This training has been created to allow individuals to experience self-paced training and for groups to take the course as a team while providing interactive and individualized student coaching through the course by an expert Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt. There is no similar program available anywhere else. The course also follows an internationally recognized textbook series providing the student with a reference to the Lean Six Sigma tools, theory, and methods well after the course is completed. Smarter Solutions partnered with MoreSteam.com, who has the top on-line Lean Six Sigma training materials, to build the on-line portions of the course. The complete course combines the MoreSteam.com Lean Six Sigma tool training topics with the Integrated Enterprise Excellence Lean Six Sigma project roadmap, created by Smarter Solutions, to provide a course the follows the same sequence as our instructor-led Black Belt course. A student will obtain a level of training that will equal an instructor-led course, without any requirement to travel to a classroom. This webinar will provide: * A review of all Lean Six Sigma training options available today * An overview of the Smarter Solutions Blended Online Black Belt course * A demonstration of an actual training module showing – Interactive lessons – Linked materials like case studies, tutorials, theoretical discussions and more – Linkage to the course reference textbooks – Minitab integration – Integrated coaching requirements * A list of all of the training materials and resources provided with the course Presented by Rick Haynes (Smarter Solutions) and Chris Paret (MoreSteam.com)

A lean Six Sigma improvement project needs to following a DMAIC roadmap so that the best lean or Six Sigma tools are used at appropriate times. A consistent define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) roadmap is also needed so that the same approach (with all its execution details) for executing improvement projects is used across the organization.

Described is a Statistical Engineering business management approach where a unique predictive organizational performance measurement and improvement system can be used to orchestrate efforts for addressing today’s challenges. This system provides an integrated methodology where organizations can “look out their car’s windshield” and, if they don’t like what they see, can make adjustments through targeted Lean Six Sigma and other improvement efforts that positively impact the business as a whole. This session will illustrate the application of these Statistical Engineering methods to a hospital showing how not only mean operational/financial responses can be improved and demonstrated, but how a reduction in the metric’s variability can occur as well.
This webinar will cover the benefits related to adding a Master Black Belt (MBB) certification to your resume. We will cover the body-of-knowledge associated with this certification and how Smarter Solutions provides it in a two-week course. What will be covered: – Advanced analysis tools (For project execution and coaching, covering how and why the tools are used.) – Adult learning and instruction (To support coaching and instructional assignments.) – Business leadership skills (To provide skills to help when you have responsibility for change but no authority to drive it.) – Improvement program management (To provide insight and lessons learned related to managing the improvement program for your employer.) – Plus a chance to have any questions that you may have on Lean Six Sigma or statistics answered. Even if you are not assuming a MBB role in your job, these skills will prepare you for success in almost any business situation. We will also introduce a new analytic role being created in many businesses, that a MBB is perfectly trained to fulfill.

The toughest challenge many six sigma leaders face is getting buy-in. A plant is working at 105%; a business is quite profitable–how do you get that plant manager or business leader to consider using six sigma as a tool to do even better. Like it or not, there are politics to ideas in every organization. Good ideas, like six sigma, don’t sell themselves. Instead, you have to advocate for them. In this webinar, John Daly, author of Advocacy: Championing Ideas and Influencing Others, will describe some of the key skills of great advocates. You’ll learn very specific tactics for more effectively influencing others in conversations and meetings.

Hypothesis testing is a concept that is taught in Lean Six Sigma and statistics courses. It is likely the least understood concept taught in both genre. In this webinar, we will walk through the concepts of a and b risk along with power and confidence choices using a completely different method than you would have been taught in a class. Through the use of diagrams and simulations, we will make the hypothesis concepts real and understandable. This could be the most informative hour your have every experienced! This may make much of your LSS training finally make sense. At the end of this webinar, the participant will be able to understand all hypothesis tests concepts and to be absolutely confident of the testing conclusions.
