5 Key Deliverables of the DMAIC Process Measure Phase
LEAN Six Sigma courses teach the Six Sigma approach which involves the DMAIC process. This acronym stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control as described in free Six Sigma training. These five phases that each Six Sigma project needs to go through for successful implementation. The importance of the Measure phase is often overlooked. This article […]

The Six Sigma Approach: A Data-Driven Approach To Problem-Solving
If you are a project manager or an engineer, you may have heard of the 6 Sigma approach to problem-solving by now. In online Six Sigma courses that teach the Six Sigma principles, you will learn that a data-driven approach to problem-solving, or the Six Sigma approach, is a better way to approach problems. If you […]

Tollgate Checklist: 12 Questions to Complete Define Stage
Most Six Sigma projects follow the DMAIC model – Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control as is often discussed in online Six Sigma training. These steps are followed in order. But how does a Six Sigma practitioner who has completed Lean Six Sigma training know when the team can move on from e.g. the Define phase […]

How to Calculate Probability Using the Poisson Distribution?
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course graduates deal with two types of data during the Six Sigma Measure phase of their Six Sigma DMAIC projects: continuous data and discrete data. The Poisson distribution is a probability distribution for discrete data which takes on the values which are X = 0, 1, 2, 3 and so […]
