Understanding Process Capability in Real-World Applications
Wednesday, October 16th and 30th at 11:00 AM ET
Join Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Kevin Keller and MoreSteam’s own Karina Dubé for a webinar series that explores the complexities of process capability analysis in real-world settings.
In the first session we will cover:
- Ongoing vs. Baseline Assessment: Learn the importance of understanding distributional analysis under standard conditions and how to handle non-normal data effectively. Discover why traditional methods may fall short and how to address the economic concerns of non-conforming products.
- Variability and Control: Explore how to identify and manage different sources of variability in manufacturing processes. Understand when to use control charts and how to calculate process capability without mixing different populations.
In the second session we will continue with:
- Six Sigma Belt Projects: Gain insights into the Measure Phase of Six Sigma projects. These insights focus on establishing a baseline for future improvements. Learn why traditional teachings may hinder project success and how to align project objectives with business language for better outcomes.
- Real-World Challenges: Discuss why the theoretical world taught in classrooms often doesn't match real-world scenarios. Understand the importance of capturing baseline values and plotting data over time to identify signals in the Analyze phase.
- Practical Applications: Learn practical techniques for assessing non-normal data distributions and integrating them into process capability analysis. Understand the importance of focusing on real-world data rather than theoretical assumptions.
This series will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of analyzing process capability in your organization and drive meaningful improvements. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and apply Lean Six Sigma principles effectively in your daily operations.
