Gavrilović Primena statistike u kliničkim istraţivanjima sa osvrtom na korišćenje računarskih programa - Master rad - Mentor: prof. dr Vesna Jevremović Beograd, 2013. godine Zahvalnica Ovaj rad bi bilo veoma teško napisati da nisam imala stručnu podršku, kvalitetne sugestije i reviziju, pomoć prijatelja, razumevanje kolega i beskrajnu podršku porodice. To su razlozi zbog kojih želim da se zahvalim: . Mom mentoru, prof. dr Vesni Jevremović sa Matematičkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu, koja je bila ne samo idejni tvorac ovog rada već i dugogodišnja podrška u njegovoj realizaciji. Njena neverovatna upornost, razne sugestije, neiscrpni optimizam, profesionalizam i razumevanje, predstavljali su moj stalni izvor snage na ovom master-putu. Članu komisije, doc. dr Zorici Stanimirović sa Matematičkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu, na izuzetnoj ekspeditivnosti, stručnoj recenziji, razumevanju, strpljenju i brojnim korisnim savetima. Članu komisije, mr Marku Obradoviću sa Matematičkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu, na stručnoj i prijateljskoj podršci kao i spremnosti na saradnju. Dipl. mat. Radojki Pavlović, šefu studentske službe Matematičkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu, na upornosti, snalažljivosti i kreativnosti u pronalaženju raznih ideja, predloga i rešenja na putu realizacije ovog master rada. Dugogodišnje prijateljstvo sa njom oduvek beskrajno cenim i oduvek mi mnogo znači. Dipl. mat. Zorani Bizetić, načelniku Data Centra Instituta za onkologiju i radiologiju Srbije, na upornosti, idejama, detaljnoj reviziji, korisnim sugestijama i svakojakoj podršci. Čak i kada je neverovatno ili dosadno ili pametno uporna, mnogo je i dugo volim – skoro ceo moj život. Mast. biol. Jelici Novaković na strpljenju, reviziji, bezbrojnim korekcijama i tehničkoj podršci svake vrste. Hvala na osmehu, budnom oku u sitne sate, izvrsnoj hrani koja me je vraćala u život, nes-kafi sa penom i transfuziji energije kada sam bila na rezervi.

  • Six Sigma Project Charter

Project Selection Process Item Yes No Comments Key business issue x Linked to a define process x Customers identified x Applicants & Admissions Defects clearly defined x Describe how and why project was selected. Reference any tools used, such as SIPOC, VOC plan, Affinity diagram, KANO model, CTS tree, etc…. II. Project Description Project Title Streamline Incomplete Applicant Follow-ups Date Charted Target Completion Date Actual Completion Date 05/17/12 Project Leader Team Facilitator Team Champion Emily Vazquez & Pamela Horne Rebekkah Porter & Angela Love Debra Emerson Estimated Cost Savings Actual Cost Savings Costs of implementing project There is not really a cost savings; it’s more of an efficiency savings. Team members Emily Vazquez, Angela Love, Rebekkah Porter, Debra Emerson, Pamela Horne Problem Statement The current process of sending follow-up notifications to applicants, who have been incomplete for 45 days and 90 days, is a five-step process within three different computer systems. Each entry term (spring, summer and fall) must be ran individually, which adds to the amount of time it takes. Because it is so time consuming, what should be a daily task, has become a weekly one. Y = process time. Defect occurs when process time is 5+ steps. Project Goal and Metrics Stream line the follow-up procedure to improve/condense processing time. 1 rev 12 Describe the challenges and support required While on the quest to improve the current follow-up procedure, we are also challenged to learn the existing process (In short, we must learn it, so that we can change/improve it).

  • Overview of DMAIC
    ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control Overview of DMAIC DMAIC is a \structured problem-solving procedure" closely connected to Six Sigma. Its five steps are: Define opportunities; Measure performance; Analyze opportunity; Improve performance; Control performance. 1 / 22 The DMAIC Process Overview of DMAIC ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control The Define step The Define step is largely non-statistical. Objectives Identify and validate the business improvement opportunity; Define critical customer requirements; Document processes; Establish project charter, build team. 2 / 22 The DMAIC Process The Define Step ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control The Measure step The Measure step involves various statistical contributions. Objectives Determine what to measure; Develop and validate measurement systems; Manage measurement data collection; Determine Sigma performance level. 3 / 22 The DMAIC Process The Measure Step ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control Deciding what to measure is sometimes straightforward (e.g. diameter of a shaft); often, however, a system or process can be characterized in many ways, and choosing one as a focus is a non-trivial decision. Similarly, how to measure it may be a serious decision. In some cases, there may be: a cheap and easy but imprecise method; a more expensive but precise method. The Measure step includes collecting baseline data: the performance of the system before improvement. 4 / 22 The DMAIC Process The Measure Step ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control The Analyze step The Analyze step is inherently statistical.
