We HIGHLY recommend that you have the support to bring a project to completion before starting the course. Having a project as you work your way through the material will greatly aid you in seeing how the tools you are learning apply in real life situations. While we recommend that you have the support before beginning the course, you may wish to view the first instruction block (Week 1) before finalizing your project with your Champion. The discussions we have this week will help you with the "Define" phase of your project. Additionally,your instructors can help you in project selection.
Should you not have a project, it is still possible to take the course and earn a Certificate of Completion. However you will not receive a Black Belt Certification until you bring a project to successful completion. This can be done at a later date, but again, we strongly urge you to try to attain a project prior to Week 2's material. In certain rare instances, ROI may be able to procure a project for a Black Belt trainee to work.

This was great. The format was excellent for learning on your terms/pace and adds long-term value by providing an excellent continued education opportunity, material you can refer back to when needed for specific examples and problems. Learned so much, a skill set that will be in high demand/utilized in any type of economic condition. And, taught by someone that brought real life experiences to the lecture and SRO, truly a subject matter expert. --R.Ta. |

Random Heresy
In the past couple of articles, we have been having fun together testing whether a measurement device is usable for the crazy purpose of determining if we are actually making product in or out of specification. Last month, we performed a measurement systems analysis (MSA) “potential study” using a snazzy MSA spreadsheet (if I do say so myself)*. We found that the Hard-A-Tron was not only pretty highly variable (compared to our spec), but that the material we were measuring actually might have been changing over time. But a potential study was not enough for you, was it? You asked, nay demanded, that we perform a short-term MSA, and I, your humble servant, gave you the data to do so. After the jump, we will perform the analysis, so unless you are the type of person that flips to the back of the book to see if you want to read it, finish up your analysis, and then click to read more. |
