Overview

This training provides a comprehensive treatment of the major aspects of using statistical methodology for quality control and improvement. Both traditional and modern methods are presented, including state-of-the-art techniques for statistical process monitoring and control and statistically designed experiments for process characterization and optimization. The training focuses on DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, and control--the problem-solving strategy of six sigma).
