    Select, interpret, and evaluate the output from these tools: affinity diagrams, tree diagrams, process decision program charts (PDPCs), matrix diagrams, prioritization matrices, interrelationship digraphs, and activity network diagrams. (Evaluate)

  • A. Problem-Solving Tools : 3. Process improvement tools26:37

    Select, interpret, and evaluate tools such as root cause analysis, Kepner-Tregoe, PDCA, Six Sigma DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control), and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). (Evaluate)

  • A. Problem-Solving Tools : 4. Innovation and creativity tools22:19

    Use various techniques and exercises for creative decision-making and problem-solving, including brainstorming, mind mapping, lateral thinking, critical thinking, the five whys, and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS). (Apply)

  • A. Problem-Solving Tools : 5. Cost of quality (COQ)15:00

    Define and distinguish between prevention, appraisal, internal, and external failure cost categories and evaluate the impact that changes in one category will have on the others. (Evaluate)


  • B. Process Management : 1. Process goals9:29

    Describe how process goals are established, monitored, and measured and evaluate their impact on product or service quality.(Evaluate)

  • B. Process Management : 2. Process analysis24:18

    Use various tools to analyze a process and evaluate its effectiveness on the basis of procedures, work instructions, and other documents.

    Evaluate the process to identify and relieve bottlenecks, increase capacity, improve throughput, reduce cycle time, and eliminate waste. (Evaluate)

  • B. Process Management : 3. Lean tools54:13

    Identify and use lean tools such as 5S, just-in-time (JIT), kanban, value stream mapping (VSM), quick changeover (single-minute exchange of die), poka-yoke, kaizen, standard work (training within industry), and productivity (OEE). (Apply)

  • B. Process Management : 4. Theory of constraints (TOC)8:42

    Define key concepts of the TOC: systems as chains, local versus system optimization, physical versus policy constraints, undesirable effects versus core problems, and solution deterioration.

    Classify constraints in terms of resources and expectations as defined by measures of inventory and operating expense. (Understand)


  • C. Measurement: Assessment and Metrics : 1. Basic statistical use21:14

    Use statistical techniques to identify when, what, and how to measure projects and processes.

    Describe how metrics and data-gathering methods affect resources and vice versa. (Apply)

  • C. Measurement: Assessment and Metrics : 2. Sampling12:13

    Define and describe basic sampling techniques such as random and stratified. Identify when and why sampling is an appropriate technique to use. (Understand)

  • C. Measurement: Assessment and Metrics : 3. Statistical analysis22:07

    Calculate basic statistics: measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation, and variance). Identify basic distribution types (normal, bimodal, skewed) and evaluate run charts, statistical process control (SPC) reports, and other control charts to make data-based decisions. (Evaluate)

  • C. Measurement: Assessment and Metrics : 4. Measurement systems analysis6:45

    Understand basic measurement terms such as accuracy, precision, bias, and linearity. Understand the difference between repeatability and reproducibility in gage R&R studies. (Understand)

  • C. Measurement: Assessment and Metrics : 5. Trend and pattern analysis14:18

    Interpret graphs and charts to identify cyclical, seasonal, and environmental data trends. Evaluate control chart patterns to determine shifts and other trend indicators in a process. (Evaluate)

  • C. Measurement: Assessment and Metrics : 6. Process variation11:23

    Analyze data to distinguish between common and special cause variation. (Analyze)

  • C. Measurement: Assessment and Metrics : 7. Process capability7:39

    Recognize process capability (Cp and Cpk) and performance indices (Pp and Ppk). (Understand)

  • C. Measurement: Assessment and Metrics : 8. Reliability terminology11:51
  • Focused Summary7:09
  • Tips & Tricks for CMQ/OE Exam Success1:21
  • Common Pitfalls to Avoid0:36

Requirements

  • You must have experience in one or more of the areas of the Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence Body of Knowledge,this experience must be in a decision-making position, defined as the authority to define, execute, or control projects/processes and to be responsible for the outcome ,this may or may not include management or supervisory positions.

Description

Comprehensive CMQ/OE Certification Prep – Part IV: Quality Management Tools

Aligned with the ASQ CMQ/OE Body of Knowledge, 5th Edition (2021)—everything you need to master the analytical and problem-solving toolkit tested on Part IV of the exam.


What You’ll Master

  • Seven Classic Quality Tools – Pareto, cause-and-effect, flow, control, check, scatter, and histogram: when to use them, how to interpret outputs, and how to present results to leadership.

  • Management & Planning Tools – affinity and tree diagrams, PDPC, matrix and prioritization matrices, interrelationship digraphs, activity networks.

  • Process-Improvement Frameworks – root-cause analysis, Kepner-Tregoe, PDCA, DMAIC, and FMEA for proactive risk reduction.

  • Creativity & Innovation Techniques – brainstorming, mind mapping, lateral and critical thinking, 5 Whys, Design for Six Sigma.

  • Cost of Quality – prevention, appraisal, internal, external failure costs and how shifting one category impacts the rest.

  • Process Management & Lean – setting measurable process goals, bottleneck removal, 5S, JIT, kanban, VSM, SMED, poka-yoke, kaizen, standard work, OEE, and Theory of Constraints fundamentals.

  • Measurement & Metrics – basic statistics, sampling methods, control charts, run-chart analysis, measurement-system accuracy, precision, bias, linearity, and gage R&R.

  • Trend, Variation & Capability – distinguishing common vs. special causes, interpreting Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk, and spotting seasonal or cyclical trends.

  • Reliability Concepts – infant mortality, bathtub curve, MTBF, MTTR, and why reliability estimation matters to quality leaders (no complex math required).
