Description
Dear Learners,Welcome to this course on "Six Sigma-The Improve Phase". I have prepared separate lectures covering each of the five phases in your Six Sigma journey (DMAIC methodology), to enable learners with shorter time to grasp all topics with ease. This course is covered in "14 short duration lectures" and cover the major topics in the Improve phase of the Six Sigma. The focus of this stage is to determine the best set of solution for our process improvement. We shall also learn the various thinking techniques to help you in finding solutions. This course is suitable for learners coming from a variety of backgrounds, both technical as well as non-technical. I am confident that the knowledge gained through this course will help you in your journey of Six sigma and process excellence.Lecture-1Introduction Lecture-2• Activities in Improve phaseLecture-3• How to generate solution ideasLecture-4• Thinking techniques (SCAMPER)Lecture-5• What is Mind mapping• Practical illustrations of Mind mappingLecture-6• Brainstorming and how to execute itLecture-7• Six Thinking HatsLecture-8• 5S introductionLecture-9• How to implement 5SLecture-10• Push versus Pull systemsLecture-11• What is SMEDLecture-12• How to execute SMED in your operationsLecture-13• What is Kaizen and how to implement itLecture-14• Piloting the solution and full scale implementationWish you all an enjoyable learning experience.Parag Dadeech
