What Is Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Why Do We Use It?
Quality function deployment is a LEAN technique that is a little out of scope for Six Sigma Green Belt practitioners and more useful for Black Belt practitioners. Yet, it is a powerful tool to design processes or products according to customer requirements. Quality function deployment is abbreviated as QFD. It fits into the Define phase […]
What is the Difference Between DMAIC and DMADV in Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training mostly focuses on the Six Sigma framework of DMAIC which is specifically designed for improving existing processes. But what happens if a process needs to be completely re-designed in order to bring improvement? While it is not often discussed in a brief free Six Sigma training, there is another Six […]
4 Types of Relative Measures of Dispersion for Six Sigma
The Six Sigma approach is data-driven. Therefore, Six Sigma practitioners who have got the Lean Six Sigma training or another Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course will know that Six Sigma teams are confronted with many different types of data in different units of measure. Relative measures of dispersion are measures of the variance of […]
The 5 Deliverables of Six Sigma Define Phase
A Six Sigma project is divided into five phases: Define, Measure Phase, Analyze, Improve, and Control. As you will learn in a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course, these five stages are abbreviated as DMAIC. In order to certify as a Six Sigma Green Belt, you have to have a solid understanding of Six Sigma […]
