JMP Partners with Six Sigma Firm

JMP, a business unit of SAS, is partnering with California-based consulting firm, Thomas A. Little Consulting (TLC). The relationship establishes a Six Sigma training curriculum built around the core principles of JMP, a statistical analysis software tool that dynamically links statistics and graphics, enabling users to visually explore data, make discoveries and gain knowledge for better decision-making. Six Sigma is a corporate sponsored initiative and set of methodologies that strives to reduce waste, improve process-es, and increase financial performance in all operations throughout a company.

JMP Training Now On The Web

Having recently purchased JMP software to help his company conduct design of experiments, Dick Middleton, an engineer for Johnson Wax, was delighted to hear SAS Education offered the brand-new introductory course, Getting Started with JMP. In June, Middleton attended the course, and couldn't say enough about the quality of his experience. "The instructor's presentation skills were excellent," Middleton exclaimed. "I learned a lot not only from her, but from the questions and interaction I had with my classmates." While compliments like these are common for SAS Education courses, they were particularly welcome considering the course held a unique distinction -- it was the first SAS Education instructor-based course delivered entirely over the Web in real time.
