Basic Statistics Concentration

During the classes, time is dedicated to working not just hypothetical or simulation exercises but, upon the students’ projects.

Classes may also be structured in a “train-do” format.  In this approach, classroom sessions are held at the start of the day and the students advance their projects during the remainder of the day, with the instructor’s support.  This helps compress the project timeline.  Coursework may be modified to include/exclude analytical tools applicable to your industry.

The Six Sigma tools are contained within a five-step process known as DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control).  Some Six Sigma tools slightly overlap with the Lean tools but, most expand considerably beyond.  Define/Chartering and Control are the most common.
