Article

In this Article, we will explore how Python can replace Minitab (Software widely used by LSS experts) in the Analysis step to test hypotheses and understand what could improve the performance metrics of a specific process.

Scenario

You are the Continous Improvement Manager of a Distribution Center (DC) for an iconic Luxury Maison focusing on Fashion, Fragrances and Watches. The warehouse receives garments that require final assembling and value-added service (VAS) during the inbound process.

Objective

With the support of the R&D team, you designed training for the VAS operators to improve their productivity and reduce quality issues.

Question

Does the training have a positive impact on the productivity of operators?

Hypothesis

The training has a positive impact on the productivity of VAS operators.

Experiment

Randomly select operators and measure the time per batch (Time to finish a batch of 30 labels in seconds) to build a sample of 56 records.

Code

This repository code, you will find all the code used to explain the concepts presented in the article.
