Lean Six Sigma Bursts

We share our takes and thoughts on a variety of topics related to process improvement (specifically Lean and Six Sigma methods), Bursts are rapid improvement activities, so this sounded like a good word to use for these short audio clips. We’ll try to keep them under 5 minutes each.

In this episode, I share the kickoff to last week's webinar called ”Green Belt Refresher using Copilot – Part 1” where I discuss the reason for the webinar, and what the current challenges are with teaching Six Sigma with different statistical software packages.

To listen to the entire webinar, where I show how Copilot compares with Minitab for graphical analysis, summary statistics, SPC and capability analysis, go to https://www.leansixsigmaecosystem.com/c/webinars/green-belt-refresher-using-copilot-part-1

If you'd like to also attend next month's Part 2 webinar, where I'll go through ANOVA, DOE, Regression and other hypothesis tests using Copilot, you can register at https://www.leansixsigmaecosystem.com/c/webinars/green-belt-refresher-using-copilot-part-2
