Learn how to apply Lean Six Sigma principles to analyze processes, improve quality, and support data-driven decision-making. This course introduces the core concepts of quality management, helping you understand the differences between product and process quality, measure performance using key quality metrics, and interpret acceptance criteria. As you progress, you will build practical skills in using quantitative and graphical quality tools, including histograms, Pareto charts, scatter plots, run charts, and control charts to analyze process data and identify improvement opportunities. You will also create process flow diagrams to visualize workflows and use Microsoft Excel and specialized Six Sigma software to support process analysis and quality improvement. Designed for learners who want a practical introduction to Lean Six Sigma, this course combines quality measurement with hands-on application of essential Six Sigma tools. By the end of the course, you will be able to evaluate process variation, interpret quality data, select appropriate analytical and visualization tools, and recommend targeted process improvements that enhance efficiency and reduce waste.
