This outline is provisional and subject to change.
This course presents the basic DMAIC problem-solving methodology used in lean Six Sigma projects to understand the root cause of performance problems and to create breakthroughs in improvement. This is an essential course for any lean Six Sigma project leader working in healthcare.
Learn how to
- define a problem in measurable terms
- measure core performance and establish metrics
- collect and analyze data relevant to the problem of interest
- analyze the system of causes and determine all root causes
- plan and implement solutions relevant to the root cause of the problem
- evaluate the effectiveness of the solutions.
Who should attend
Individuals working directly on problem solving, product and process development, cycle time, lean, process improvement, and corrective action using the DMAIC problem-solving methodology
