Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Analyze Phase Course

New eLearning course just launched.

The Analyze Phase Course of the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Improvement Process is now available via eLearning. Learn the tools and methods to dissect your process, product, or service delivery issues. Learn how to uncover the root causes of the problems and quantify their impact on your customers.

The Analyze Phase covers Lean Root Cause Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, Teamwork Listening and Thinking Skills, Linear Regression, and Design of Experiments. The course features hands on exercises with video demonstrations of software tools and the breakout exercises. You will become proficient with the Minitab Statistical Software Package along the way.
We provide plenty of spreadsheet tools to help you with breaking down your problems.

Sign up for this course Today, its only $299.95 and you can take it at your own pace.

Course Results Lean Six Sigma Green and Black Belt Training

The Lean Six Sigma Green and Black Belt Course taught at Missouri State University's Management Development Institute finished last week. The results from the students are very impressive. The course comprises 4 weeks of training in a workshop format over a 4 month period of time spanning 13 weeks.

Four Lean Six Sigma projects were completed during this time and 15 students achieved their Green Belt Certifications and have already begun their second projects to achieve their Black Belt Certifications. The total savings for the completed projects exceeded $750,000. We congratulate our students for their excellent project work and the successful application of what they learned.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons Medical System certified 9 Green Belts with two team projects. Watts Radient certified 5 Green Belts with one team project. Lennox certified 1 Green Belt. Three additional projects from other students are nearing completion.

Your project teams can achieve similar results at the upcoming MSU MDI Lean Six Sigma Course offered this Spring on campus. The Black Belt training covers the full 4 weeks and the Green Belt training is the first two weeks of the course. The Spring dates are 2/22 to 2/25, 3/29 to 4/1, 4/26 to 4/29, and 5/24 to 5/27.

4 Week Black Belt Certification Training: $4995
2 Week Green Belt Certification Training: $2995

Measuring Improvement without Data

When faced with a process that cycles infrequently it is often deemed impossible to measure the improvement from the current state to the future state. It doesn’t have to be.


FMEA (failure mode effects analysis) can be used to show before and after improvements based upon the difference in RPN (risk priority number) Score. The question then becomes, “What does an RPN reduction of 500 points actually mean from an improvement standpoint?”


We have developed a table that links the RPN Score to Process Yield which in turn links to Process Sigma. By using the table we can calculate the improvement in Process Sigma from the current state to the future state.


To see how this concept works take our Free Nano Course. Complete topics in 5 minutes or less. (this course is actually about 8 minutes, oops)

This Nano sized course introduces FMEA, RPN, and converting RPN to Process Sigma Level.


  • FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a powerful tool for identifying, defining, and quantifying root causes to operations issues.

  • The RPN (Risk Priority Number) is calculated by multiplying the severity score times the occurrence score times the detection score.

  • The RPN quantifies the impact of a potential root cause providing the means to rank the root causes.

  • This is how we separate the vital few from the trivial many.

  • Converting the RPN into a Process Sigma Level is shown in a handy table.

  • When processes cycle infrequently the FMEA, RPN, and conversion to Process Sigma level provide the means to quantify the improvement.

    Lean Six Sigma e-Learning - $299.95 per DMAIC Phase

    Our premise is to provide the Lean Six Sigma Training by DMAIC phase concurrently while you work on your Lean Six Sigma Project. The format follows a train and do philosophy.


    You will learn the deliverables, be provided with the templates to get them done, and have Master Black Belt support via e-mail for review and coaching.


    The Define and Measure Phase Courses are currently available.


    As you work on your project we provide the training when the time is right for you to coincide with the progress you are making on your project. When you finish the five DMAIC Phases of the Lean Six Sigma e-Learning, and complete your project you will be eligible for a University Certified Green Belt in Lean Six Sigma.


    Taking the course by DMAIC Phase as you work a project is a great way to get certified and your organization benefits from the completed improvement project. It’s budget friendly at only $299.95 per DMAIC phase.
