Hey thanks so much for the video, for open book can you explain some examples of what we are and are not able to bring as notes, its confusing on the site with the stapling and bounding etc
Yes, that is confusing and it tends to be under constant change. Currently, for my classes, my students will take in the Instructor Notes, Handbook (ASQ Handbook), and the TI 30XA Calculator. They have a smaller 3 ring binder that they put the appendix to the Instructor Notes and perhaps an index for the Handbook. If they do that it is highly unlikely that they will experience any problems.
i have completed graduation and post graduation 1 year in practical elements of mechanical engineering and another 1 year in quality assurance and manufacturing management in Canada, and don't have any prior experience in working field. with my education level , so i would genuinely appreciate it if you could guide me which course i am eligible for ?
You could take the Six Sigma Black Belt as it has no requirements for experience. If you have 3 or more years of experience you will only need to do one DMAIC project. Less that 3 years of experience and you will need to two DMAIC projects. To learn more about this class go to: alphatc.com/catalog/info/id:131,cms_featured_course:1 .
Thanks for the discussions. I genuinely feel that for 3.7 the right answer should be D & not B because even if everything is going fine, we do need regular (occasional) assessment(s) to identify the areas of continuous improvements, so it is not dependent on something going wrong only. Also, for 9.8 the option A will not cover the forecasting capabilities that the historical data may or may not reflect upon, hence option B i.e. survey evaluation seems better choice as in survey we can ask/evaluate for historical, current as well as future elements. Please advise whether for 3.6 it is D ?
When it comes to the reliability of say a plant or manufacturing process, what is the main difference between the maintenance engineer versus the Reliability engineer? Thanks
Jose, Thanks for the message. These are definitely closely related. The maintenance engineer is more about setting up and maintaining the equipment over time, so they may set up preventive and predictive maintenance programs, decide whether to buy new or rebuild and etc. Reliability engineering is more likely to be involved in the design of the equipment to create reliability. Reliability engineers will spend more time in the reliability lab trying to grow reliability in the design over time. The reliability engineer will also run tests to help determine current reliabilities. A reliability engineer may get a job as a maintenance engineer, however, it is unlikely that a maintenance engineer will become a reliability engineer. This is my perspective on it. Hopefully that is helpful. Thanks Jose, John Lee
Hi, I have a pratical question about this. Sometimes in problem statement of case studies I have seen mentioned how customers would complain about the high number of defects. Is it not something that quality engineers should already know regardless by checking their cpk periodically?
Yes, I feel that you have a good point there. Keep in mind Cpk studies only analyze normal cause variation so along with the Cpk studies you should also keep track of quality problems from special causes. Good question! Thanks Domenico, John Lee
Hi sir. I am planning to sit fot ASQ/OE exam. I wanted to know what is the scheduling deadline once the application is accepted. Also , what is the latest by which i can appear from the day my application gets accepted. Thanks
I just sent all of your materials out - you should be getting them within the week. I sent them to: Debbie Gifford 43631 59th St West Lancaster, CA 93536 Thanks Debbie! John Lee
Thank you Mr. Lee. Your passion and professionalism is while teaching makes the courses interesting. You truly bring the classroom to the students. Thank you
"Six Sigma Champions are con men" “All you have is smoke and mirrors” - Creator of Six Sigma, Mikel Harry 91 % of Six Sigma companies have trailed the S&P 500 (Qualpro survey). An 8 yr study at Ford showed an average of 1 in 5 parts defective AFTER improvement for “successful” Six Sigma projects. Six Sigma is a destructive scam based on pure farce. It started with Mr Bill Smith and his out-of-control molding process that happened to drift “as much as 1.5 sigma”. Smith’s buddy, con man Harry, “proved” Smith disaster happened for every process ... based on the height of a stack of discs! Most folk never bothered to check. “Neutron” Jack Welch at GE described Harry as a “madman” and said no one had any clue what he was talking about. Jack handed over $1B anyway. A scam was born! GE has now thrown the Six Sigma trash out. EVERY aspect of Six Sigma is worthless, from its normalization nonsense, to its irrelevant enumerative methods, to its paralytic DMAIC. Dr Wheeler, the world’s leading process statistician, calls Six Sigma “GOOFY” and the stuff of “the tooth fairy”.. CBS calls it the most stupid fad of all time. There is never justification to stray from the giants of Quality Dr Shewhart, Professor Ishikawa, Professor Lewis, Professor Deming, Dr Taguchi and Dr Wheeler, for the lunacy of Six Sigma’s con man. How the Six Sigma fraud was started: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0kZbJLHK_4M.html Lean was tacked on to prolong the Six Sigma Scam. 98% of LSS implementations FAIL (IW survey)
The biggest problem with this certification is that nobody requires it. The better path is just finish your engineering degree then pass the FE and PE exam. Getting your PE license is much more valuable than this useless CRE certification. You"ll pay $500-ish dollars plus the cost of training material only to find out nobody gives a dam about your useless little paper.
Hi John! I was wondering if you have any insight into how complex you found the CMBB exam? My portfolio just got accepted, but there's not much content I can find online on others experiences and also test questions. Would love to hear about your personal experience and if you have any watchouts.
I have completed 2 projects in parallel under the same supervisor. One was from Jan 2022 to July 2022 and another started in Jan 2022 and is still ongoing (may last until Oct/Nov 2022). Can I use both parallel projects and get two affidavits signed by the same supervisor? I am targeting the application /project affadavit by Oct 5th.
CQT is probably the most broad exam that ASQ offers, it’s BOK includes a lot of what the CQI has in its BOK. The CQI is much more limited in its BOK. I’ve been studying for the CQT for over 5 months now and I wish had chosen an easier one, it’s A LOT of info to take in. I would suggest starting with the CQPA, it’s more limited in its BOK than the CQT
