In engineering and manufacturing, there are situations where measuring in degrees is not the best option. For these metrics, you will find that radian is a better fit.

If you need a control chart that is quick and easy to set up in order to track defects, an F-chart is worth knowing about.

Addressing the challenges posed by capacity constraint resources determines how much and how quickly businesses can grow beyond their status quo.

If you have ever seen a polygon web-shaped chart with points all over it connected by various colors, you may have wondered how it works. It is a web chart and it is not as complicated as it looks.

Short description: With the increasing demand for Lean Six Sigma to address the rising costs of product and service quality, the “Probability of Defect” concept is still very relevant in today’s environment of process improvement.

Embarking on projects without any formalized, thought-out process involved can be fine when you are keeping it small or routine. This sort of fly-by-night approach is not recommended when there is anything major actually at stake.

It is inevitable that change happens, whether it be temporary or permanent. Whether you are on the supply side or the manufacturing side of engineering, for permanent changes it is likely you are going to encounter an SREA.

The Glenday Sieve approach can help companies improve business processes, boost profits and eliminate waste and underperformance.

There are some common everyday terms that can mean one thing, but that can be a bit more nuanced when it comes to Six Sigma. One of these terms is “opportunity”. Read on to find out what it means when it comes to Six Sigma.

The ability to find and create opportunities is of paramount importance in terms of innovation and growth for your business. Being able to find opportunities is one thing, but can opportunities be created?

What is the most efficient way for an employee to complete a task? Could the way they are getting the job done improve? Could it be safer? Predetermined motion time systems help to answer these questions.

It is important to be able to see your processes, projects, and services from every conceivable viewpoint. Putting together FAST diagrams can achieve this while doing it in a collaborative and potentially even fun way.

The Lean Six Sigma inspection plan is a very useful tool for creating a quality control program that achieves high-quality results and customer satisfaction. If you are looking for a way to streamline your organization’s quality assurance goals, you will greatly benefit from this comprehensive guide.

In business, the durability and longevity of machines utilized in operations are integral for optimal production. This can be planned for using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

Short description: Before you can improve anything, you’ve got to be able to identify the areas that you can improve. This is what the Lean Six Sigma principle of muda is all about: identifying where waste is happening and eliminating it.

The power of data can be harnessed by understanding the benefits, best practices, and proper use of process indicators. Quantifying process performance allows for clear analysis of operations.

R-Square adjusted is a concept that is associated with regression analysis, which is a method used to identify which variables have an impact on a topic. Learn more about this Six Sigma concept.

The GRPI model was developed in the 1970s by Richard Beckhard, an American organizational theorist. Its ease of use and effectiveness keeps it in use today. Find out more about this.

In business, you need to be able to meet the needs of your customers. Your product or service has to be up to a certain standard. It needs to hold up to an agreed-upon definition of quality.

If you need a quick tool for analyzing a mass of data in order to spot a likely relationship between two variables, a scatter plot is a good first step. 

There are four distinct hierarchical levels of measuring data. These are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Nominal is the most simple and ratio is the most complex. What does nominal mean, though?

The Lean Six Sigma profession is inherently complex because there are many ways to interpret this simple yet meaningful definition. Keep reading to learn more.

With improvements made in processes, it is important to make sure that your business doesn’t fall back on old bad habits. Incorporating ratchet devices is a method of preventing this from happening.

Time value mapping helps to eliminate areas of waste and improve the efficiency of a work item process. Read on to learn what it is and how it works.
