​Instructor: Max Houck, Ph.D.
Course length: 8 hours

Confused by Six Sigma terminology? What’s heijunka? Or muda? Ever used the Taguchi Method? Six Sigma works but takes a long time, a lot of effort, and a good chunk of money. This, Process Improvement without the Hype, course provides the basics of process improvement without the jargon and hype. Solid principles, practical examples, and reliable follow-up methods using verifiable common sense. Improve your processes right now without the hassle and cost of extensive training.

Quality does not have to be complex. Most organizations only treat the symptoms and not the disease that caused them. Root cause analysis (RCA) is a method to get to the bottom of the issue and make sure it does not happen again.

This course provides a unique take on the traditional root cause analysis, weaving proven inquiry-based investigations with executive decision making into the process to help sort problems for better solutions and what to do in chaotic circumstances. The core of this course was used by the National Commission on Forensic Science as a basis for RCA in forensic science.
​
The Process Improvement without the Hype course is offered on its own or as a package with the following courses: From Leadership to Management as well as Writing Proposals and Managing Projects. Times are approximate and can be altered as desired. Courses can be tailored to any group size.
