Six Sigma- The Analyze Phase

Dear Learners,

I welcome you to this course on "Six Sigma- The Analyze Phase".

I have prepared separate lectures covering each of the five phases in your Six Sigma journey (DMAIC methodology), to enable learners with shorter time to grasp all topics with ease. This course is covered in "11 short duration lectures" and cover the major topics in the Analyze phase of the Six Sigma.

This phase of Six Sigma is very crucial because here you narrow down the critical X's (or inputs) impacting your process performance (or Y). Your team will review all the data which you have collected in the measure phase of Six Sigma.

This course is suitable for learners coming from a variety of backgrounds, both technical as well as non-technical. I am confident that the knowledge gained through this course will help you in your journey of Six sigma and process excellence.
