How do you like to learn? Is it by reading textbooks? Or do you want to learn by doing and seeing the results for yourself? If so, this book is for you as it is written as a teaching guide. The book aims to teach using example-based learning so you can learn data analysis and problem-solving at the Green Belt level. The author recognised that Six Sigma Green and Black belts needed more support to understand the complex statistical techniques used within Six Sigma, but this had to be delivered effectively. In this book, the author uses his experience of industrial process improvement and Minitab training to provide Six Sigma Green Belts with the learning support they need to drive Minitab 19. Key Features of this book are: -Covers all main topics used by Six Sigma Green Belts in easy to understand language. -Improved and updated for Minitab 19.-The main Six Sigma tools are explained. It uses example-based learning with hundreds of screenshots in the book.-Focusses on using the Assistant and includes features such as Sequential DOE and Multiple Regression.-The data sets for the examples and exercises are available to download from www.rmksixsigma.com; along with model answers. -Support Videos are also available from the RMK Six Sigma Youtube channel.-Examples cover both continuous and attribute data where possible.

STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL Provides a basic understanding of statistical quality control (SQC) and demonstrates how to apply the techniques of SQC to improve the quality of products in various sectors This book introduces Statistical Quality Control and the elements of Six Sigma Methodology, illustrating the widespread applications that both have for a multitude of areas, including manufacturing, finance, transportation, and more. It places emphasis on both the theory and application of various SQC techniques and offers a large number of examples using data encountered in real life situations to support each theoretical concept. Statistical Quality Control: Using MINITAB, R, JMP and Python begins with a brief discussion of the different types of data encountered in various fields of statistical applications and introduces graphical and numerical tools needed to conduct preliminary analysis of the data. It then discusses the basic concept of statistical quality control (SQC) and Six Sigma Methodology and examines the different types of sampling methods encountered when sampling schemes are used to study certain populations. The book also covers Phase 1 Control Charts for variables and attributes; Phase II Control Charts to detect small shifts; the various types of Process Capability Indices (CPI); certain aspects of Measurement System Analysis (MSA); various aspects of PRE-control; and more. This helpful guide also Focuses on the learning and understanding of statistical quality control for second and third year undergraduates and practitioners in the field Discusses aspects of Six Sigma Methodology Teaches readers to use MINITAB, R, JMP and Python to create and analyze charts Requires no previous knowledge of statistical theory Is supplemented by an instructor-only book companion site featuring data sets and a solutions manual to all problems, as well as a student book companion site that includes data sets and a solutions manual to all odd-numbered problems Statistical Quality Control: Using MINITAB, R, JMP and Python is an excellent book for students studying engineering, statistics, management studies, and other related fields and who are interested in learning various techniques of statistical quality control.

Most people who have been exposed to Lean, Six Sigma, or other process improvement training have learned good data collection, plotting, and analysis methods, along with how to use Minitab statistical software to help with those tasks. However, the sample data files used in training are usually clean and simple and don't reflect what students actually encounter in the real world. The reader will learn an ideal format for Minitab data sets, and two ways for getting a data file formatted optimally for analysis using Minitab or other statistical software.
