Importance of the Six Sigma Primary Metric

Primary Metric

Six Sigma Primary Metric Primary Metric: The Six Sigma Primary Metric is mandatory! How does one know if a project does what it sets out to do? Every project must choose the right metrics to determine success. Primary metrics are the center point for the work to ensure that the direction and decisions made throughout…

EWMA Chart with JMP

What is EWMA Chart? The EWMA chart (Exponentially-Weighted Moving Average Chart) is a control chart monitoring the exponentially-weighted average of previous and present subgroup means. The more recent data get more weight than older data. It detects the shift of the process mean from the process target over time. The underlying distribution of the EWMA…
