Continuous Improvement, Probability, and Statistics (eBook, PDF)

Using Creative Hands-On Techniques

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

What happens when the sport of Juggling meets a Statistical Process Control class? This book shows a creative approach to teaching data analysis for continuous improvement. Using step by step instructions, including over 65 photos and 40 graphs, traditional continuous improvement topics (design of experiments, reliability functions, and probability) are demonstrated using card illusions and hands-on activities.

This book is for anyone that teaches these topics and wants to make them more understandable and sometimes even fun. Every operator, technician, student, manager, and leader can learn data analysis and be inspired to join the next generation of continuous improvement professionals.

Autorenporträt

Bill Hooper is an independent consultant specializing in data based productivity and quality improvement for small and mid-sized companies. He holds an undergraduate degree in Engineering from the University of Michigan and an advanced degree from Indiana University, in addition to certifications from the American Society for Quality (ASQ) for Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Reliability Engineering, Quality Management and Quality Engineering. Bill has implemented over 100 Designed Experiments for multiple industrial and service based clients over the past 20 years, but likely is best known for teaching a series of innovative courses on data, statistics and Design of Experiments throughout the United States, Canada, Africa and the Middle East.

Bill is also a trained close-up magician and a performing juggler best known for creating with his son, Todd Hooper, the workshop, "Juggling for Creativity and teamwork". The use of juggling as a training method for continuous improvement is from that workshop and also from teaching hundreds of children and adults to juggle. Bill previously volunteered for the Chicago area non-profit Corporation Open Heart Magic, an organization that specializes in the use of close-up magic to accelerate the healing process for hospitalized pediatric patients. Many of the techniques used in his courses were initiated while volunteering at Open Heart Magic.

Bill is a speaker and keynote speaker at various technical and non-technical conferences on the use of card magic and juggling to teach data, statistics and continuous improvement.
