Any recommendation for On line Six-Sigma training ?

Arizona State Uni (Mikel Harry) best for price and course content and alignment with an excellent engineering university. Look at pdf file at website to get course agenda. Also more pragmatic use of statistical tools such as Minitab
 
American Society For Quality (ASQ) uses More Stream as provider of training, teaches to  their certification test. 2x times cost of ASU course. no empahsis on use of tools like  for statistical analysis
 
SixSigma.us (consultants) don’t have any familiarity of this one
 
Moresteam.com provider for ASQ and some other groups 2x times cost of  ASU
 
Villanova University more costly than above 2xplus. teaches to ASQ certification test. course content and lack of stress on use of statistical tools not as strong as ASU
 
My criteria list is course content, cost and experience of provider
 
Just my two cents

Hi Henrik,
Even though I’m somewhat against on-line training due to it’s lack of MBB support – out of all the on-line training material I really like the BMG material – it’s excellent from a visual learning perspective.
Best regards,
Adam

Henrik,
The people that deliver the training are going to make a difference in how well your experience works. I will be right up front and tell you I do not know all these groups.
For the cost of a phone call to Moresteam.com you can probable get a chance to speak to Bill Hathaway the President and CEO. That should convince you that they care about how well you lean from their material.
Just my opinion.
Good luck.

Henrik,
Looks like a email paid off.
If you have been following the Lean program more so than the TQM or the Six Sigma program you still need some methodology to remove variation. If you go through Work Place Organization and Standardized Work you have really only addressed the people induced varation. At some point you need tools to take a process apart and reduce the process variation. If you don’t do that you will end up setting up Kanbans that do not work the way they should because you don’t have a consistent flow – some like to call it a drum beat and others takt time (catch some of the remaks in another string).
There is this cute little saying that the Lean zealots like to use: “Lower the level of the water (a euphaism for inventory/WIP) and expose the rocks in the river.” That is nice but if you lower that level and expose the rocks you had better have a methodology to deal with the rocks. If you don’t have a methodology you have 2 choices cover them back up again (good luck ever exposing them again) or miss your 3 JIT shipments to Dell and be disqualified.
Tom Pyzdek writes good stuff – it will be a woth while purchase. Catch a copy od Mario Perez-Wilson’s “Machine Process Capability” if you get a chance. You do need to understand it isn’t about tools (that isn’t religion). It is about results.
Give Bill at MoreSteam.com a call – you will be pleasantly surprised with his e-learning offering . ([email protected] or [email protected] )
Good luck

Henrik
Where are you based. have you an e-mail address so that I contact you.
