Course Description

Provide training which blends Statistics, Minitab and DMAIC principles (Lean Six Sigma). The customized content, spanning 5 days, will allow participants to take data and convert to practical information through simple analytical tools.

Why Minitab?

Minitab is the cornerstone software associated with the practical understanding and application of Continuous Improvement, Data Analysis and Six Sigma.

What is DMAIC?

DMAIC, or “Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control” was made popular by the Six Sigma community, but stands on its own as a versatile and complete problem-solving roadmap. The course will follow the DMAIC approach to learning Six Sigma via Minitab.

How will we be learning Minitab?

Participants will be encouraged to either already own Minitab or download a free trial prior to the course. Alternatively, they can simply follow along if they do not own the software on their own computers. There is no prerequisite for having any working knowledge of Minitab prior to the course. An experienced "Analyze and Improve" trainer consultant will deliver the hands-on practical training.

Who should attend (Suitability and application)

The course is geared towards Engineers, Technical People and Analysts to enable them to understand and practice Minitab within the context of practical statistics, data analysis, DMAIC and Six Sigma. Fundamental tools to provide better support to business and management practices.
