Utilize data analysis and visualization for process improvement and product development.
Make fact-based decisions based on statistics and data analysis.
Strengthen your leadership skills to drive improvement efforts within the company.
Develop skills to successfully implement change.
Coach Green Belt and project team participants.
Target Audience:
This course is suitable for those who lead improvement programs, have operational or quality responsibility, work with process and product development, lead complex improvement projects involving multiple departments, and others who are focused on maintaining a holistic approach to improvement work.
Course Content:
The course follows the DMAIC structure:
Define:
Identify and define process- or product-related problems to be improved.
Set specific, measurable goals for improvement.
Measure:
Collect and analyze data to understand the current situation (use of descriptive statistics, histograms & control charts).
Evaluate process performance with capability analysis and determine how to improve it.
Use control charts for variation analysis to understand and quantify sources of variation.
Evaluate measurement systems to ensure accurate measurements (repeatability, reproducibility, stability, sensitivity, and capability).
Analyze:
Prove root causes with graphical analyses:
Pareto
Box plot
Scatter plot
Correlation and regression
Hypothesis testing
Improve:
Use Design of Experiments (DOE) to identify optimal process settings.
Apply DOE in product development.
Implement improvements.
Control:
Maintain improvements using control charts and continuous monitoring.
Implement control plans to ensure that improvements are sustained.

Instructor:
The course instructor Sissel Pedersen Lundeby is an IASSC (International Association for Six Sigma Certification) accredited instructor (the only one in Norway as of August 2019):
"This accreditation publicly reflects that you have met the standards established by IASSC such that those who participate in a training program led by you can expect to receive an acceptable level of knowledge transfer consistent with the Lean Six Sigma belt Bodies of Knowledge as established by IASSC."
Sissel holds a master's degree in chemical engineering from NTNU and has more than 19 years of experience in production and environmental technology. Her Lean Six Sigma training began in 2002, at an American company, where she became Black Belt certified in 2004. In 2017, she was also Black Belt certified through IASSC.
Sissel has extensive experience in using Lean Six Sigma for improvements and focuses on achieving measurable results. The courses use practical, recognizable examples and present Lean Six Sigma in a simple and understandable way.
