Class
Approach to Learning & Teaching: In order to
enhance the value of this course to
its stakeholders, active participation from you is expected. Also the
course
relies on readings to establish key terminology and frameworks and
timely
review of readings pertaining to the associated lectures is expected. You are valued customers, though not the sole
stakeholder, so that your satisfaction with the course is one key
objective.
You are invited to contact me about course matters at any time, in
class or
outside the classroom, formally or informally.
I value meaningful dialogue with students and believe that it is
important to assess their satisfaction with the course and associated
learning
experience.
Course
Performance:
Emphasis is placed on development of a thorough understanding of Six
Sigma's DMADV Product and Process Design Strategy and it's application.
Evaluation of participant performance is based on competency
examinations and a required project.
Project
Orientation:
A primary motivation for requiring a project is that it provides an
experience applying team tools and strategies useful in contemporary
professional environments..
Project
Presentation / Paper Requirement(s): Specific
project
paper format requirements will be supplied by the instructor. It is
expected
that Phase I reports will be of length at least 2500
words, exclusive
of graphics, tables and appendices. Phase II (final) reports
should
leverage and build upon Phase I reports and it is expected that these
will be
of length at least 5000 words, exclusive of
graphics, tables and appendices. All papers are expected to be well
written and
thoroughly researched. Teams are required to provide a CONCISE Project
Presentation of between 20-25 minutes in length, inclusive of
questions. Phase
II Presentations must be of length 22-25 minutes, inclusive of
questions.
Written progress reports are to be emailed to the instructor by noon on
each of
several dates to be determined.
