Six Sigma Tools for Analyze

Course Overview

This course provides an overview of the Measure and Analyze phases of the Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) process. Students will learn about lean tools for process analysis, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), measurement system analysis (MSA) and gauge repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R). Additionally, students will be introduced to basic statistics. The course will include readings, discussions, lecture videos, and quizzes to help ensure understanding of the material and concepts. The curriculum is based on the latest handbook The Certified Six Sigma Handbook (2nd edition). Access to course content, projects, and resources is included in the registration, but the companion text is not required to complete the assignments.
