Overview:
Reliable data is required for Lean Six Sigma Improvement projects. This 2-day module explains how to collect data to quantify the current state and establish desired improvement goals. LSS-101: Introduction to Lean Six Sigma must be taken before LSS-102: Measuring Process Performance-I.
By the end of the course, participants will learn how to:
- Conduct process walks, apply good interviewing and listening techniques, and identify “low hanging fruit” opportunities for improvement
- Create accurate value stream maps
- Recognize basic data types: quantitative and categorical
- Identify X and Y variables for your LSS project
- Perform sample size calculations for data collection
- Collect data that is representative of the current state
- Calculate project benefit metrics based on quantitative and categorical data
Tools participants will learn:
- Observing the current state
- Value stream mapping
- Sample size calculation
- Basic statistics and normal distribution
Who Should Attend:
