3.7. Conclusion
In this chapter, we have given an initial overview of JMP as the enabling technology for Visual Six Sigma. Our goal has been to familiarize you with JMP so that you are now able to follow the JMP usage in the case studies that show Visual Six Sigma in action.
The case studies are presented in the next six chapters. We remind you that there is a tension between illustrating Visual Six Sigma as a lean process and helping you see a variety of techniques and approaches that you can use in your future work. As we have stressed, Visual Six Sigma is not, and never can be, prescriptive. One of the keys to success is familiarity with JMP, and that is why we have sometimes deliberately compromised the purity of our Visual Six Sigma vision to show you patterns of use that will be useful as you embark on your own Visual Six Sigma journey.
