Binary Logistic Regression Using Minitab

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. **The audio will begin a few minutes before the video appears.

SIPOC: The Starting Point for a Value Stream Map

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.

Cp Cpk Pp Ppk Calculation and Understanding: A Webinar that Provides Important Details

In Lean Six Sigma, much training effort is spent on conveying the importance of having a measurement system so that consistent and correct decisions are made relative to part quality and other assessments. Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) and Gage R&R study (Repeatability and Reproducibility) are an integral part of the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Green Belt training. It should be the goal of every organization to achieve the three Rs of business; i.e., everyone doing the Right things, and doing them Right, at the Right time. One tool that provides direction for achievement of the three Rs goal is process performance metrics; i.e., a process’ performance report-out should lead to the most appropriate action or non-action. This objective is not unlike an inspection gage MSA, which is to determine if inspectors can adequately determine whether a manufactured component should be accepted or rejected. Because of this performance-reporting need, it would seem that management and practitioners would be assessing how well current scorecard and metric reporting systems are doing from a MSA conceptual point of view. However, this does not seem to be occurring. The question is why do we not examine business metrics and process capability indices reporting from a MSA point of view with the same level of intensity that we do for product quality metrics? This one-hour Webinar will explain more on the magnitude of the issue: we’ll give focus to how Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk process capability indices’ reporting is sensitive to how a given process is sampled; i.e., an MSA issue. A predictive metric reporting system will then be described for overcoming not only the issues of process capability indices but general business-performance scorecards.

Creating Profitable-Green-Business Strategies

Many businesses adopt Green strategies as part of their business plan in an effort to be good stewards of the environment and their community. No one can argue that this is not a good thing to do. However, often these efforts can become a silo activity relative to other organizational initiatives, resulting in a significant negative impact to the corporate financials. Because of the economic implication, this approach for implementing Green could jeopardize future environmental-improvement efforts. VIEW NOW, and learn about an alternative business system approach to integrating Green strategies with other organizational strategies so that created environmental-enhancement efforts either improve or do not degrade the current financials. Described is a methodology for targeting Green efforts so that there is success, while maintaining or enhancing overall business benefits.

Predictable Metrics for Decisive Leaders: The 9-Steps to Integrated Governance

There is no better time to look at your corporate big picture! Now, more than ever, it is essential to learn how to navigate through 2009. Competitive pressures are forcing employees of all ranks to react faster to changing business conditions and customer requirements. Starting with employee communications, learn how to improve performance, reduce conflicts and align teams for effective and profitable business results.

Process Capability Analysis Cpk: Webinar For a True Understanding of this Six Sigma Metric

Have you always liked capability metrics, such as Cp and Cpk, and wondered what they really said? Well maybe you are not loosing sleep over this issue, but like many statistics, capability metrics are used without a full understanding of their message. View this webinar and continue your process improvement knowledge as we discuss each of these three questions. We will focus on the application rather than the theory of these capability metrics. Yes, there will be equations and such, but only in regards to explaining the concepts.

Enhanced Enterprise Improvement System: Description and Webinar

Competitive pressures are forcing executives to react faster to changing business conditions and customer requirements. Line managers, and decision-makers need to be able to monitor and manage day to day business operations with access to continuously updated performance metrics to make faster decisions and take immediate action. In short, what’s needed is a performance measurement system.
