1.4.1 – STABILIZATION OF PROCESSES

Objectives:

The course has two primary focus. The first one is to provide a methodology with analytical tools for the project leader to identify the critical variables of the process considered. In short, the main role is to understand the relation Y=f(x). Identified these variables, we have the second objective, which is to define what of them are critical to be treated in a improvement plan and further, to be controlled in the process routine. For that, utilizes the technology matrix (performance from the customer point of view) and control (process stability in the time unit) in a rational decision approach.

In short:

• To use the Stability X Control plan as “pipeline” of Six Sigma projects.
• To understand the mechanism of monitoring, as leadership, of the projects and metrics.
• To understand the actual financial impact.
• To align the resources for the execution and monitoring derived projects from the program.
• To show the impact of each person to be involved in the project and to understand how to align the tasks of day-by-day to the initiative.
• To align the previous works to the new programmed activities – to use the “DMAIC” as the basis of the discussions.
• To align the technical knowledge in: capability analysis, control charts, specification limits and control limits.

Target Audience:

• Professionals from the management, continuous improvement, processes and Six Sigma areas.

Pre requirements:

• The practitioner must be certificated and/or trained in the DMAIC methodology.

Course Duration:

• 16 hours.

Programmatic Content:

• Process definition
• DMAIC flux
• Stabilization of Processes X DMAIC – differences
• Technology X Control Matrix Concept
• Stabilization of Processes Flux – Road Map
• Qualitative tools of understanding of the process – mapping, fishbone, cause and effect, and effort X impact
• Quantitative tools of processes analysis – graphics, regression, hypotheses test, regression, chi-square
• Process Stability Analysis – Continuous and discrete data.
• Capability Analysis in short and long term (Zst, Zlt and Zshift)
• Use of Technology and Control Matrix
• Generation of Action Plans
• Control Plan
• Management of metrics

Training Modalities:

• In company – carried out in closed classes, by customer request.

Requirements for Certification:

• There is not a specific certification for this methodology.
• All participants receive the certificate of training conclusion.

Specific Needs for Training Attendance:

• Computers – should be one for each three attendants
• Use of Minitab statistical software
