In this webinar we will introduce the concept of binary logistic regression using Minitab. This tool can be used to analyze process data that has only a pass/fail output. We will primarily discuss the use of continuous variables as predictors (or causes), but we will also discuss how to use the tool to perform a logistic ANOVA or a logistic DOE.
This is a relatively complex topic that will be presented with simple approach that focuses on the knowledge level needed for any practicing green belt or black belt using Minitab. After this webinar, you should be able to execute a Logistic Regression in Minitab and identify the significant terms. A graphical method to interpret and use the predictive model will be provided along with the equations needed to use the predictive equation.
This is probably the most underutilized tool in lean six sigma, because most black belt and master black belt programs have shifted to using Excel Add-ins in an effort to save money. Unfortunately this has eliminated the magnitude of the power of the tools we have been provided.

This webinar will focus on the analysis of fractional factorial Design of Experiments (DOE). We will follow a method published in Forrest Breyfogle's book, "Integrated Enterprise Excellence Volume III – Improvement Project Execution." This method involves a methodical analysis of a DOE that provides a robust and quick method to identify the key main effects and two-factor interactions. Included with this webinar will be a summary of the method and a flow chart diagramming the analysis method. Minitab will be used for the analysis, but the method is applicable to any analysis, using any statistical software package.
We will cover:
• Significance analysis for mean effects
• Significance analysis for variance effects
• Standard residual analysis
• Residual analysis for variance effects
• Aliasing of factors (confounding)
• Factor plots
• Response optimization
This is a follow-up topic from a previous webinar that focused on the effort required to prepare for executing a DOE, "Design of Experiments: Out of the Classroom."

Design of Experiments (DOE) provides a structured approach where a small number of test trials can efficiently and effectively determine the response effects from multiple factors. This webinar will describe DOE basics and the benefits of 16 and 32 trial designs. It will be shown how application variations of DOE can be structurally integrated within an overall business management system so that the enterprise as a whole benefits. The described development, transactional, and manufacturing process application opportunities can help organizations improve product lead times and reduce defective rates.
At the end of this session attendees will be able to:
• Describe the benefits of DOE over common-place experimentation techniques, including one factor at a time (OFAT) experiments;
• Show the application of DOE within an overall business management system;
• Explain the benefits of 2k DOE designs over other options;
• Apply DOE within development, transactional, and manufacturing processes;
• Develop DOE factors and levels for product design optimizations and verification tests.

If you are at the receiving end of fire-fighting activities that are triggered by a late recognition of performance changes, then this topic may be considered as a fire-prevention webinar. In the DMAIC measure phase and analyze phase, we are taught many tools that can assess a process’ performance before working a project. Unfortunately, our organizational leadership does not support using these tools to evaluate routine performance.
In this webinar we will show how to use the measure-phase tools (control charting) to perform routine assessments and build a set of rules that trigger an action before a problem occurs, and to use the analyze-phase tools (hypothesis tests) to evaluate if the difference we see between people or departments is real (significant) or just a random difference (non-significant). How much smoother could things operate if we tested our beliefs before we jumped to take action?
Take-aways:
- Demonstrate how to identify functional-performance metrics;
- Demonstrate how different performance-metric reporting methods impact fire-fighting activities;
- Describe how to use the DMAIC analyze-phase tools in evaluating your insight and reactionary responses.
This is part two of an eight-part webinar series that examines common business practices that are not normally associated with a Lean Six Sigma program and shows you how to use your LSS skills to provide a benefit to each of these eight areas. These topics may provide you with an argument to convince your organization to allow you to participate in any one of these activities, which will improve your value to the organization. The more you are valued, the greater your chance of promotion and retention. If you are just an improvement project leader you may be at risk of being “downsized,” since you are not involved in the routine business activities.

Everyone understands how the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC tools are beneficial to the practitioner; they provide a system to solve true business problems in a project format. This emphasis on projects may limit the true impact that a Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Practitioner can provide to an organization beyond the benefit of managing improvement projects.
This webinar series will examine eight common business practices that are not normally associated with a Lean Six Sigma program and will show you how to use your LSS skills to provide a benefit to each of these eight areas. These topics may provide you with an argument to convince your organization to allow you to participate in any one of these activities, which will improve your value to the organization. The more you are valued, the greater your chance of promotion and retention. If you are just an improvement project leader you may be at risk of being “downsized,” since you are not involved in the routine business activities.
We will host eight (8) webinars over a period of four months, one every other week. If you can not attend any event, there will be a recording available.
Webinar Topics and Take-aways
Does it appear that some strategic plans sound more like vision statements than actual strategies? It may be because many strategic plans are generated by committees using brainstorming and other opinion based tools. These are considered Lean Six Sigma DMAIC measure-phase tools.

RECORDED VERSION In this webinar we will start with a typical SIPOC analysis of a process and show how it can be leveraged into a Value Stream Map (VSM). This knowledge will let the improvement practitioner, that is facing a more Lean-like problem, move rapidly from the project definition to a working VSM that can be the starting point for a waste or time reduction improvement effort. Take-aways: - Shows the relationship between the SIPOC and VSM; - Gives the practitioner a method to quick-start a VSM for any project.

Does it appear that some strategic plans sound more like vision statements than actual strategies? It may be because many strategic plans are generated by committees using brainstorming and other opinion based tools. These are considered Lean Six Sigma DMAIC measure-phase tools. Have you considered using the define-phase concepts instead? In the webinar we will walk through the use of many DMAIC define-phase tools along with a few others that you can use to support a strategic planning session for your organization. You will be able to quickly see that these Lean Six Sigma tools could be used to eliminate the vision-type strategies from ever making it out of the session.
Hypothesis testing is a concept that is taught in Lean Six Sigma and statistics courses. It is likely the least understood concept taught in both genres. In this webinar, we will walk through the concepts of a and b risk along with power and confidence choices using a completely different method than you would have been taught in a class. Through the use of diagrams and simulations, we will make the hypothesis concepts real and understandable. This could be the most informative hour your have every experienced! This may make much of your LSS training finally make sense.
At the end of this webinar, the participant will be able to understand all hypothesis test concepts and be absolutely confident of the testing conclusions.
