productivity and improve the quality in the steel industry. It illustrates the procedures of implementing lean tools in a process industry with emphasis on Value stream mapping, 5 s and six sigma tools. Study on Integrated applications of lean & six sigma tools in a continuous process industry are limited. The thesis hypothesizes that there are lot of opportunities for improvement in the process industries like steel if lean and six sigma tools are integrated and utilized. It systematically demonstrates how

Continuous Variables Much of the statistical analysis in medical research involves the analysis of continuous variables such as cardiac output, blood pressure, and heart rate which can assume an infinite range of values. As with discrete variables, the statistical analysis of continuous variables requires the application of specialized tests. These tests compare the means of two or more data sets
