Data Analytics for Lean Six Sigma

Welcome to this course on Data Analytics for Lean Six Sigma. In this course you will learn data analytics techniques that are typically useful within Lean Six Sigma improvement projects. At the end of this course you are able to analyse and interpret data gathered within such a project. You will be able to use Minitab to analyse the data. I will also briefly explain what Lean Six Sigma is. I will emphasize on use of data analytics tools and the interpretation of the outcome. I will use many different examples from actual Lean Six Sigma projects to illustrate all tools. I will not discuss any mathematical background. The setting we chose for our data example is a Lean Six Sigma improvement project. However data analytics tools are very widely applicable. So you will find that you will learn techniques that you can use in a broader setting apart from improvement projects. I hope that you enjoy this course and good luck! Dr. Inez Zwetsloot & the IBIS UvA team

I graduated a long time ago, which means that a license fee of US$1800 is prohibitive.I understand that Minitab “speaks” Lean Six Sigma and Quality, but could it be that there is a version of this course taught in Microsoft Excel?

Straight forward introduction to data analytics and the use of minitab in the lean six sigma life cycle very usefull examples anf explanation.

It is a very interesting and easy going course, you don't need too much time and is easy to understand Very Useful easy and nice concepts for students who wants to get into Lean Six Sigma Data analysis.Thanks Inez This course would be perfect if it provides slide material.
