ABSTRACT

This chapter develops a first-step hypothetical syllabus for a classroom Six Sigma course. It describes the day wise classroom activities in learning probability. The introductory class outlines the mean, standard deviation, confidence interval, and basic statistics utilizing the normal distribution by juggling. It also outlines the hypothesis testing by experimental helicopter. The day two classroom activities includes the multiplication principle by card manipulation, introduction to Bayesian statistics by coin magic, and the data for rare events utilizing the Poisson distribution. The day three classroom activities reviews Statistical process control (SPC) by juggling and experimental helicopter. It also reviews shortcomings in the timing system by means of the process-to-tolerance ratio and analysis of differences between operators. The day four classroom activities consider the design of experiments (DOEs) by experimental helicopter, juggling, and card magic. Finally the day five classroom activities describe the process of regression and optimization.
