Learners read what the letters DMAIC stand for and then complete a matching activity.

Students examine examples for calculation yield, throughput yield, rolled throughput yield, and payback, each of which is used to analyze process performance in a Six Sigma project.

Learners read how low defect levels can cut production costs. Six Sigma success means reduced inspection expenses, less rework, and fewer customer complaints.

Learners read descriptions of the following training and certification levels for organizations using a lean approach to quality: "green belt," "black belt," "master black belt," and "champion."

In this interactive object, learners examine the five problem-solving steps of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. Some of the most common measures and tools are listed for each step.

In this learning activity you'll discover how the concept of unstable figures influences your perception of an image.

In this learning activity you'll evaluate the six trig functions using a scientific calculator.

Learners read about Six Sigma philosophy and methods. The need for high quality levels for today's customers is stressed.

Learners read about the characteristics of a lean/six sigma culture.

The learner will view videos showing the movements of each axis of the six-axis robot.

Learners follow steps to establish class boundaries and tally the data using a spreadsheet.

In this interactive object, students read about organizing data in a tabular form. A brief quiz completes the activity. This is the first in a series of six learning objects.

In this interactive and animated object, students distribute the valence electrons in simple covalent molecules with one central atom. Six rules are followed to show the bonding and nonbonding electrons in Lewis dot structures. The process is well illustrated with eight worked examples and two interactive practice problems.

Learners examine the sourcing and sinking of conventional current at a PLC output module and the type of field device to which it is connected. This interactive learning object includes six quiz questions.

Learners assign oxidation numbers to atoms in neutral compounds and in polyatomic ions. Six examples are worked through in detail, and three problems are provided.

The users of this learning object read a brief introduction to the six levels of Bloom's Cognitive Taxonomy and quiz themselves on a basic understanding of the levels.

In this interactive object, part 3 in a series, learners follow the steps of the “mathemagician” to examine four numerical curiosities: What’s Special About 1089, Perfect Squares: 1089 and 9801, The Mathematical Significance of 1776, and The Calculator Number Game. The learner will also study six number patterns and look at one remarkable table. Immediate feedback is provided.

Learners examine how five or six groups of electrons around a central atom cause the shape of the molecule to be trigonal bipyramidal, seesaw, T-shaped, linear, octahedral, square pyramidal, or square planar. Seven examples and three interactive questions are provided in this animated activity.

In this module, we'll be introducing you to SIPOC, a powerful tool that can help you improve your business processes. It's a high-level process mapping tool that helps you identify the key components of a process and how they relate to each other. SIPOC diagrams are often used in Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, but they can be useful for any process improvement initiative. We’ll explain the key SIPOC components and demonstrate how to build one. Then, we’ll walk through a few scenarios and let you build your own.

This is an animated troubleshooting exercise that takes voltage measurements to determine the fault of three different series circuits. There are six review questions that enable the learner to determine the effectiveness of the troubleshooting presentation.
