Six Sigma--Statistical Process Control
If you were an engineer charged with the health of a dam, would you fix a leak by pressing a cork into the crack? Would you consider such a solution permanent? When a Six Sigma® team imposes control
measures on a process it has improved, it does so with the idea of making its improvements long-lasting. The Control phase of the DMAIC model (Define, Measure, Analyze, Inform, Control) doesn't rely on quick
fixes. Instead, it applies statistical techniques that will monitor and control whatever variation arises in that
improved process over time. A primary Six Sigma control method employed during this phase is statistical process control (SPC). SPC helps a process become, in a sense, self-regulating. This course, Six Sigma-
-Statistical Process Control, is a guide to understanding SPC and Six Sigma's strategies for ensuring that
Improve phase gains stay fixed. In one lesson, you'll receive an overview of the DMAIC Control phase. In another lesson, you'll be introduced to SPC concepts and the all-important SPC tool, the control chart

Control Charts and the Pre-control Process
Six Sigma teams may be tempted to consider their work done once they have improved their processes during the Improve phase. However, in the Control phase of the Six Sigma® process improvement system,
teams go further and verify that improved processes continue to perform at the improved levels. This course will present control charts, which are used to determine with statistical precision the extent to which
improved processes maintain improvement level performance with minimum variation and are, thus, under control. The course also will present the pre-control process, an easier and quicker method for determining
whether an improved process produces products or services within specification limits.

Six Sigma--Lean Tools for Control
Two key methodologies for improving operations in the manufacturing world are lean manufacturing and Six Sigma®. Both are designed to reduce variation, yet each takes a different track. While Six Sigma utilizes
data and statistical analysis to measure and improve a company's operational performance, lean manufacturing collocates all of an organization's processes in sequential order, restructuring the
manufacturing method to reduce wasteful activities, such as over-production, waiting, and material hand-offs. Whereas Six Sigma tools focus on an organization's specific aspects, lean tools evaluate the entire
operation. In this course, you'll learn about both methodologies and how lean tools can be implemented
during Six Sigma's Control phase. The purpose of Six Sigma's Control phase is to ensure that the previous
improvements made by the Six Sigma team remain fixed, or in control, into the future. "Control" is the final
step in the Six Sigma process improvement model, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).

Six Sigma--Measurement System Re-analysis
Have you ever tried to change your life with a diet or exercise program, only to backslide and lose all the
positive changes you made? It's easy to lose sight of the ultimate goal -- improved health and fitness -- after
reaching your goal weight and fitness level. Maintaining positive changes takes just as much effort and vigilance as making the changes initially. Likewise for businesses -- the benefits of Six Sigma performance
aren't achieved simply by a completing a series of projects. Achieving Six Sigma performance takes vision, commitment, time, and vigilance. To assist with maintaining gains, the Six Sigma Control phase outlines
tools and techniques for the Black Belt to use. In this course, you will learn about Measurement System Re-analysis. During this phase, measurement system capability is re-assessed to ensure it remains adequate
for the ever-improving process capability. You will focus on improving measurement system capability as the process capability improves. You'll learn about ongoing measures and actions used to sustain
improvement and maintain the drive toward Six Sigma perfection.
