Six-Sigma
Six-Sigma's emphasis on measurement and analysis
requires sophisticated analytics capabilities to empower Green Belts,
Black Belts and Master Black Belts with tools to explore data, determine important
factors, and execute data-driven decision-making.
Across industries, analytics are used to perform
real-time and offline analyses of product defects, package weights,
nutritional components, and many other product attributes critical to
quality.
Analytics also aid in the compliance and quality
control efforts of R&D and manufacturing organizations by automating
analysis and the production of standard reports.
Process
Monitoring and Intelligence
Analytic techniques enable greater insights into the
relationship between manufacturing process variables and the resulting
finished product parameters.
Indeed, a whole host of analytic techniques are useful
for PMI processes: univariate and multivariate Statistical Process
Control approaches, general linear and nonlinear predictive modeling,
recursive partitioning algorithms, feature extraction and data reduction
techniques, and clustering algorithms.
