I suppose everyone agrees that if one is not good with numbers, career growth is likely to face a serious roadblock at one stage or the other. I have noticed several people who fear mathematics and this leads to certain problems in learning or applying Six Sigma.

Many have already given up hope assuming that they can never cover up. Good news, however is that this weakness can be addressed by most people.

It definitely needs a persistent effort to capture Mathematics concepts that are really important. Some of these are Algebra, Data Handling, Decimals, Equations, Exponents and powers, Fractions, Graphs,
Integers, Mathematical modelling, Mathematical Reasoning, Probability, Proportions, Ratios, Rational Numbers and Statistics.

If you are one of those who felt this way and wish to improve your math, I can provide you a step by step approach which shall broadly follow the sequence below.

• Plan study time for these topics
• Use the uploaded material
• Study identified topics and answer questions provided in the text. Check your answers with answer key provided.
• Conquer your weakness and face the Six Sigma world more confidently.

In case good number of people see value in such a sequence, I shall be putting in extra effort and make the content and sequence available to you free of cost.

I have written this post just to know whether there are many people out there who really wish to use such content and approach. Reply to this post showing your interest so that I can view the count.

Best Wishes,

VK

I'd welcome this. Good thinking VK.

Dear Sir............very very good thought and I welcome it whole heartedly. Even sometime people may not know as to where lies their weakness. So a prelim test can hightlight where the individuals need to focus. And for that matter, any knowledge gathered but not put to use, slowly but surely wanes away! Once again, welcome the approach. ......rgds//S Srikanth

 

 

Dear Sir,

I think it going to be very useful..great going!!..regards Farha

wellcome realy going to help at all levels.thanks

Hey VK,

Thanks a lot for taking this initiative,i have been working on practicing mathematics,but don't really know what approach should i follow,which all topics i need to focus on, a step by step approach like what you have mentioned would certainly help me rather everyone who is willing to improve their skills and put them to a productive use.

Thanks, Vishwadeep.  This is a much needed topic.

Hello VK

I am very glad to know that..m sure this going to be very helpful..i did green belt but because of this numbering fear i didnt thought of going for black belt..many may be facing same problem..please go ahead with this VK..may be now i can consider myself to go for black belt happily..

Dear Sir,

I think the basic maths skill is a must in implementing this 6 Sigma. Hence a person who is well versed in Statistical techniques can do a lot better than anybody. An organisation wont take chances in implementation part with non-maths employees / officers. People more than 40 is common in corporate level decision making roles. But, those who monitor , guide, train and audit 6 sigma should be Statistical expert. General logical and analytical skill is enough for understanding SS. But successful implementation part in an organisation should not be taken lighter manner, which is investment involved.

Hello Sir,

I too agree with this and it's a good initiative it.

Thankyou for the help

Hi VK,

Great thought. Its definitely going to benefit a lot of people.

Thank you !!

Dear VK

A great thought and I am for it. Cant wait for the step by step procedures. This indeed will help alot of people who are planning on doing the Six Sigma GB/BB as well as refresh the minds of those who have already completed the GB/BB and strengthen the concepts. Knowledge is never a waste.

Once again a great idea and look forward for the study aid.

Regards,

Canute.

Great Idea and I am looking forward to it

Great thought Sir.

Many a times, while doing all kinds of complicated analyses, when it comes to presenting the same to top management (or even new-comers in the team), Basic Mathematics helps to simplify the presentation than making the ppt look like a NASA R&D project. 

Shall look forward to further content on this subject from u.

Thanks and regards.

Tnank you Sir,

This will give us confidence to accomplish projects. This is a much needed topic.

I looking forward to it.

Best Regards,

Firoz

Idea is noble and will prove useful for many although I am not sure whether I will be able to spare time.Keep it slow and useful for every one and not only for high flyers.

Hi VK!

Its a very good idea. You must have forgot by now that I asked for the same when I did my Six-sigma Green Belt under you in NOIDA. It has been long time since.

I am looking forward to it.

Thanks and regards.

Hi VK,

Great idea. I welcome your thought.

Best,

Sundar A

very good initiative. I would like to understand on regression analysis more of used in six sigma methodology.

 

THANKS

AMIT

VK,

Great Thought.This would be really beneficial.

 

Vishwadeep,

 

Here is my personal experience with a BB candidate who was trained but had been certified as a GB before I joined the organization. Background information - during my conversation with the GB candidate he/she did not feel that his/her math skills are not at the best but are weak.

 

Practice Practice Practice and Execution Execution Execution (initially with the support of mentor) helped the BB candidate to improve the skills required to learn the concept and interpret the results of graphical and inferential tools in order to use the same in pragmatically and make recommendations to improve the processes.

 

Hope this helps you to capture the information you need.

Yes Sir this is an execellent idea. plz start this.

Regards,

Ajeet

It will help everyone interested to streamline the direction and orientation

Hi VK,

This is a very good initiative & this would be really helpful for everyone..

I'd be interested.
