• Search for clues in your data to construct hypotheses about underlying behavior
• Identify key drivers and models
• Shape and build your own real-world Six Sigma experience

Whether you work involves a Six Sigma improvement project, a design project, a data-mining inquiry, or a scientific study, this practical breakthrough guide equips you with the strategies, process, and road map to put Visual Six Sigma to work for your company.

Broaden and deepen your implementation of Visual Six Sigma with the intuitive and easy-to-use tools found in Visual Six Sigma: Making Data Analysis Lean.
