In 377 pages, this bookShows the execution of Minitab functions in a detailed Lean Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) roadmap to enhance the Y response for process improvement projectsShows use of a free software app for response-metric tracking that provides insight not possible with traditional metric reporting techniquesUtilizes over 50 datasets to illustrate Y-response tracking from a process-output perspective and Y=f(X) analysesDiscusses over 200 figures that illustrate software inputs and outputsProvides a clickable Lean Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) process-improvement roadmap that integrates the application of Lean and Six Sigma tools so that the right tool is used at the right time when undertaking process improvement effortsShows a methodology for Lean Six Sigma improvement project selection so that the organization's big-picture benefits from the project's completionProvides a method to statistically show and quantify at the 30,000-foot-level the benefits of process improvement effortsOffers a business process improvement system that goes beyond traditional Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced ScorecardExplains a method for executing and enhancing digital transformation efforts in an organization This book provides direction on how organizations can resolve issues that commonly occur withTraditional control charts and process capability reporting techniquesAQL testing and reportingLean Six Sigma deploymentsThis book provides direction on how organizations can benefit from the wise application of:Statistical and non-statistical techniquesDesign of Experiments (DOE) in both manufacturing and transactional processesThis book provides a comprehensive 9-step system that CEOs, presidents, general managers, executives, managers, leaders, practitioners, and others can use to resolve elephant-in-the-room management issues such asBusiness goals not being metScorecards leading to harmful, if not destructive, behaviorsPersistent day-to-day firefighting problemsBusiness strategies that are very generic and difficult to translate into organizational work environmentsLean events and other improvement projects can consume many resources but often do not offer a quantifiable benefit to the business as a wholeLean Six Sigma process improvement deployments that have improvement projects, which are either not completed in a timely fashion or which make substantial financial claims that are questionable This book describes the application and how to use of the following tools in Minitab as part of a Lean Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) roadmapTime-series plotHistogramDot plotDescriptive statisticsPareto chartProbability plotX-bar and R control chartP-chartProcess capability indices30,000-foot-level reportsCause-and-effect diagramVisualization of dataMulti-vari chartHypothesis testingInferences: continuous dataInferrences: attribute dataComparing two samplesDemonstration of process metric output response improvementVariance componentsCorrelationSimple regressionResidualsSingle factor ANOVAANOMTwo factor ANOVAMultiple regressionBinary Logistic regressionGeneral Linear Model (GLM)Design of Experiments (DOE)Response surface methodology (RSM)Control phase – maintain the gain Offers a methodology to implement Deming's management philosophy, ISO 9000, Baldrige award criteria & Shingo Prize criteria
