About the Course

Welcome to this course on Data Analytics for Lean Six Sigma. In this course you will learn data analytics techniques that are typically useful within Lean Six Sigma improvement projects. At the end of this course you are able to analyse and interpret data gathered within such a project. You will be able to use Minitab to analyse the data. I will also briefly explain what Lean Six Sigma is. I will emphasize on use of data analytics tools and the interpretation of the outcome. I will use many different examples from actual Lean Six Sigma projects to illustrate all tools. I will not discuss any mathematical background. The setting we chose for our data example is a Lean Six Sigma improvement project. However data analytics tools are very widely applicable. So you will find that you will learn techniques that you can use in a broader setting apart from improvement projects. I hope that you enjoy this course and good luck! Dr. Inez Zwetsloot & the IBIS UvA team...

Love it!! I haven't been this much confident with statistical analysis and hypothesis testing. I like this learning material as its practical (the cases and scenarios) part was very helpful. Thank you

This is really a great course, and after completing around 20 to 25 courses here on Coursera, I can confidently rate it as the most significant one with its practice and graded quizzes to be tailored specifically to test the subject concepts in a moderately - yet powerfully - challenging way!

I hope that we have more courses delivered by Dr. Inez in LSS and Data Science! As the course instructor; she is so engaging, and she has definitely invested so much time to design the material delivery pattern, and furthermore; the case studies and the questions are meticulously designed to give learners a coherent learning path. I also recommend following up using the Minitab software and the supplementary materials which are so helpful and right to the point for literally all of the practice cases.

Amazing content , very practical , for someone like me who wants to minimize the theoritical side and focus on the practical actual day-to-day application, I find this course fitting my needs , the tutor is brief , practical with a lot of life-examples, and exercises can serve me to learn the wanted objectives. I wish the statastics can be done on excel , but as much as I tried I can't reach the ease and practicality of minitab, so I believe minitab is very essential and saving you a lot of headache to do the heavy work of statistics instead of troubling yourself with manual effort of statistics for excel. Special thanks for the tutor , she made the best practical content for metrics calculation for LSS.

The faculty is having excellent knowledge. This course has given equal importance to both theoretical knowledge and practical examples so that it is easy to grasp questions. Each and every concept is well covered with a suitable question in the quizzes. Questions are so designed that even if you don't have Minitab software, you can answer those questions. The exercise questions are very helpful to answer the quizzes.

The only point which I felt is, some of the questions were not answered in the discussion forum.

If you are aware of Data Analytics techniques but don't know which technique is suitable for a specific situation- then this course is for you. Very few books and online courses can explain this using minimal mathematical (difficult terms) and maximum real-life examples with just the right amount of statistics and probability. You need not be a statistics wizard to learn Data Analytics- this course lets you believe that! Kudos to the instructor for explaining everything in such a simplified manner.

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed this course. Very well explained and thorough videos and MiniTab is an excellent tool to use. I really liked that videos are not too long giving you the opportunity to watch them twice if needed, with excellent examples to understand it practically and practising exercises at the end that were really helpful to make sure you understand the topics. Keeping notes helped me but it is really easy to re-find some by re-watching the videos. Amazing course!!

I am currently Black belt, so I have taken so many statistics courses and I know a bunch of tools of Data analysis, Nevertheless in this course I have seen the data since other perspective, really good examples and exercises to help you understand the theory. So I am totally satisfied with the curse I just take, I learned a lot and I want to thank to the Dr,

inez zwetsloot for her knowledge and the skill to teach the way to analyze data. I will take another course with you definitely

By this coarse of Data analytics from Lean Six Sigma training from where the clear method to improve performance by systematically removing waste and reducing variation has been learnt completely. ... Lean Six Sigma not only reduces process defects and waste, but also provides a framework for overall organizational culture change. So it is a very great learning with illustrations and examples are quoted and the coarse is very useful for my day to day working in the organization.

Un excelente curso para afianzar y reforzar los conocimientos estadísticos. Asimismo, es un curso que permite contextualizar mejor un proyecto de mejora. La instructora es muy clara en las explicaciones y en la parte práctica el software Minitab es muy amigable y potente. Recomiendo este curso para aquellos estudiantes y profesionales, especialmente a los de la carrera de Ingeniería Industrial, para que pongan a prueba sus conocimientos y su pensamiento estadístico.

This is a highly recommended course for anyone who wants to learn the basics of statistical methods and testing techniques and also a very good refresher course for the people who already knew it in the past but don't use it on a regular basis. I am really glad that I chose to do this and it helped me recall a lot of fundamental statistical concepts.

Thank you Professor Inez for covering each topic in great depth with all the examples and demos in Minitab. :)

Very clear overview of data analysis to ID problem areas and statistical tools to determine/diagnose QA issues. This course was valuable in that it reviewed basic statistics in a simplified manner! If I didn't have any background in statistics, I think this course would have been more challenging, Regardless, the course is very logically laid out and the instructor provides a lot of real-world applications demonstrating the data analysis. Great course.

I enjoyed this course very much. The videos were well done, and the examples quite relevant. I might re-think the video on the pregnancy duration, for the sake that people may take offence. I did upon first seeing it, but I do understand the main idea of the project, except for the lack of diversity on the screen until that project was presented. I do appreciate all the efforts and ease of getting to the files along with provided solution explanations.

It really helped me to clarify what test to use and when. I will surely have the opportunity to use these skills for my future jobs. I prefer to approach subjects directly from the practical. I have tried other courses about six sigma, but I was feeling the statistical part was not so well explained. As I think it is absolutely fundamental I have decided to follow this course. I have never seen a teacher explain so well Statistical analysis.

The course was really helpful to learn the insight of Minitab. The teaching skill of the teacher is amazing and the way of making students understand is perfect. The quizzes are interesting and help the students to further understand what they learned. I will surely look for more courses from them. If you are into quality, do use this course for enhancing your skill. I took another class in person and it was not this engaging.

I don't think I had ever enjoyed an statistics-related course as much as this one. I found the course to have a very good structure and pace. The examples were selected or adapted from real-life situations, which matched the focus of the course on the practical application of the techniques taught. The presentation was very clear and Dr. Zwetsloot's enthusiasm motivating. Compliments to the whole team for an excellent course.

I've taken Stat101 before but feel like I've forgotten a lot already. This course allowed me to revisit the different statistical techniques and highlighted which ones are appropriate to use depending on a case's influence factor and CTQ. It was pleasant learning from Dr. Inez, she covered a good range of topics and the examples were concise and very easy to understand. She provided very good reference materials!

Being in the quality department, I have been using these tools for a long time in excel. I am now using Minitab for my recent study related to time and performance. This course is shown some of the great insights which helped a lot in my study. Unpivoting the columns really helped me saving time. Thanks a ton for such an insightful course and thanks for introducing me to one of the best tool in the field.

It's an amazing course. I've learned several statistical techniques in a simpler and more practical way like none else had done it before in a continuos improvement context. The teacher explained it perfectly and I'd like a second part of this course by an intermediate learner. I'm process coordinator and I can ensure these techniques will be very useful to improve them and teach to my team. Thank you.

This was one of the best courses in statistics and data analysis I could find on Coursera! I learned a lot about hypothesis testing and when to perform each statistical analysis, along with the advantage of learning through Minitab, a very powerful and intuitive statistical tool. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who loves to make decisions through data and statistical analyses.

Great view of statistical fundamentals. Good use of Minitab throughout the course. The practice cases and quizzes were well develop and assess the knowledge retained. I would recommended to dig deep on the DMAIC stages providing a real project case analyzing the phases with the help of Minitab to perform the statistical analysis. Overall, the course was really helpful and well prepared.

This is my first online course and I am glad I loved the course. Course materials are so organized and the presentation of the instructor was very clear that I did't feel that I am studying virtually. The course helped me to clear my statistical concept once again and I hope I could use the knowledge in my practical field. Thanks to Inez Zwetsloot, COURSERA.ORG and AMSTERDAM UNIVERSITY.
