Course Description

Statistical Process Control (SPC) Using Microsoft Excel is the one course you need to learn how to harness, analyze and report your manufacturing process data in a way that drives improvement within your organization. This course is divided into 4 major sections:
Basic Statistical Concepts: Don't worry if you've never studied statistics or are a novice using Excel. This course starts at the beginning. In this section, Iexplain fundamental concepts that you will use throughout this course and your career including Measures of Central Tendency, Measures of Dispersion and the different types and scales of data. Not only do I explain these concepts "on paper", but I'll take you into Excel and show you how to QUICKLY calculate the statistics you need.
Pareto Analysis: Most people do not realize the power of the Pareto Distribution. In this section, I will show you how to apply the so called "80/20 Rule" in remarkably expedient and innovative ways. Iwill also introduce you to Excel's Pivot Tables, which when combined with Pareto Analysis, form a powerful decision making tool for allocating your organization's capital, people and improvement effort.
Control Charting: Often considered the backbone of statistical process control, control charting allows you to graphically depict and then analyze your process and quality data. Control charting calculates the normal limits for any process, then makes obvious the trends and nuances in your process. Not only will I explain the "nut and bolts" of 7 different control charts for both variable and attribute data, but Iwill also walk you through the secrets of interpreting their results. You will also receive excellent reference tools and Excel reports you can use in your own improvement projects.
Regression Analysis: Regression Analysis is a remarkably powerful tool for defining the relationship between two or more variables, and then providing a formula you can use to make predictions about your own process. This section offers you the fundamentals of this immense family of statistical processes by detailing Simple Linear and Multiple Linear Regression analysis. These tools will not only allow to you analyze the inputs and outputs of your manufacturing processes, but also serve as a stepping stone into more advanced studies of the topic.
In this course, I provide you with all the theory, applications, Excel Worksheets and real life examples you need to take your analytical and problem solving skills to a whole new level. And if you're preparing to take your ASQ Certified Quality Engineer, Certified Quality Technician, Certified Six Sigma Green Belt, Certified Six Sigma Black Belt exams, this class is an excellent starting point to develop the quality statistics skills you'll need to succeed.

good brush up of initial statistics

By Harold Henry Cabanilla on 11/15/2020

The visual presentation is very hard to watch due to choice of background and pen. I would suggest to use white as background and dark color pen for better visibility.
The interpretation lectures should have a matching handout for easy recall. Even if I have full lifetime access to the videos, I'd rather have those printed out and posted in front of me for easy recall when needed.
Basically, this course need to improve on the handouts. and choice of color matching.
As to the content -- its like this, you when you watch a movie and then at the end you felt something is missing but you don't know what? Its exactly like that for me. I mean, everything is there but not quite yet. Maybe additional handout on interpretation on the control charts and capability analysis would increase my satisfaction. As of now, it is what it is.

Very useful and interesting course. I enjoyed your way of explaining all the topics covered in the course. I also liked how you lined up the theoretical side of the knowledge along with the practical side of applying it. Looking forward to more of your well-structured courses.

It matches very closely with the information I use frequently as a Quality Engineer. This course should give me a more in depth understanding of this material.
