			<description><![CDATA[Great, just what the industry needs, another hack.  Oh well, my advice is to look to the left and find the link called &quot;New to Six Sigma?&quot; in the blue bar.  That will get you started.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Go directly to Jail, do not pass Go or collect $200.You have no idea what you are doing and should therefore ask for a refund from whomever did your GB training.  You do not get &quot;struck in hypothesis tesing&quot;(sic).  It is not a step in the process.  It is a tool to look for differences in things so as to try and identify possible root causes.  Likewise you do not &quot;directly proceed to regression analysis&quot;.  It is a tool to look for relationships between X and Y to help identify if any Xs might be a root cause.  I would check with your BB coach because you are clearly clueless as to the DMAIC methodology and the difference between methodology and tools.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[How does Six Sigma work?  I&apos;m new to this type of training (coming from a Kaizen method company) and I&apos;m not really sure which certification level I should be going for.  Do I have to start out with the Green Belt and work my way up or can I become certified at any level?Thank you for any assistance and advice you can offer.Regards,James]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What kind of data is the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC; measured as micrograms/mL)? Zero MIC makes sense, indicating no concentration at all. Since the concentrations are always two-fold,the differences between concentrations are not equal ( therefore, unlikely to be interval data) ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First create the Graph &amp;gt; Probability Plot, using the 3 parameter Log Normal (while leaving the parameter estimates blank). 
Once the graph is created, you can adjust the scale by double-clicking on the x-axis and unchecking the option for &quot;Adjust scale for threshold if distribution has this parameter&quot;. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Jones,
I don&apos;t recall you ever providing any feedback, let alone meaningful feedback.   If you are truly interested, please do a more thorough data-driven search to determine if we help or not.   You&apos;ll pick up on a theme.   If a Poster submits a well-thought out issue and it is apparent that they did their homework and at least tried to learn, then we help, quite generously.   I know Darth, Stan, Mike C, Adam B. and others, including myself, have gone to great lengths to mentor and Tutor folks that really want to learn and are motivated...all at no cost to the recipient of the advice/mentorship.   This from guys that normally charge a deservedly-healthy amount for services in the continuous improvement realm.Now, when some lazy bum wants homework answers, or demonstrates a lack of motivation, then hell yeah, many of us call for fire on the AO.   There is a method to the madness.  For me at least, it&apos;s to seperate the wheat from the chaff that has plagued our industry.Jonesy, It sounds like you were on the receiving end of one of our broadsides.   Please support your supposition with data...all the data, not just a copy/paste of the flame wars, otherwise you won&apos;t be taken seriously.  ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Actually on Google you can find 462,000 hits for MAAR Charts, I was interested in finding some one who had used close loop management systems like this and how they found it as a tool to use good bad or what ever.But no when you ask for a bit of help it wasn’t being lazy or looking for 1.5 sigma shift it was a genuine comment looking for some help and as usual what do you get not much help as professionals I would have hoped some one be kind enough to help and not take the mick.How wrong was I ??

			<title><![CDATA[Variation Reduction Training]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Although we have in-house classroom training, my company would like to post on its intranet a basic training program on &quot;variation reduction&quot;... something &quot;in the can&quot;. It needs to be professionally done with narration and obviously, we are willing to purchase the rights to&amp;nbsp;it if necessary. Does anyone know of something that&apos;s out there that we can use??&amp;nbsp;The driver here is as much about saving time than anything... we do not want to reinvent the wheel! This could be a multi-phase project. Thanks for any help you can provide.]]></description>
