What is this course about?
Very often we collect large data sets, however lack the ability to truly interrogate the data in a way that aids decision making and process improvement. The ability to scientifically assess and root cause process problems is a key asset for the serious process analyst. This advanced 2-day workshop introduces a number of statistical tools that enable the identification of the root cause of process problems. It is designed to enable participants to identify patterns, anomalies and relationships in data sets. The software application used is Minitab.
All Lean Ireland online tutors are certified Lean Six Sigma black belts with several years’ experience in facilitating online workshops in a wide variety of sectors.
