Six Sigma and Quality Window
Simple and Easy Tools to Make Six Sigma Work for Your Company.
If your company wants to achieve Six Sigma, you should consider these Quality
Window tools which have proven time and again to deliver business results at
low cost.
Six Sigma is all about improving quality, reliability and consumer
satisfaction while reducing variability, downtime, defects, waste and complaints.
Quality Window is all about empowering everyone in the organization to contribute to
this objective in their everyday work... not just a few key resources on a
few big projects in manufacturing only.
Quality Window, which runs economically on existing "off the shelf" PCs,
lets people easily identify and understand their variability, waste, downtime and
defects... the first step in reducing it. Entry level Quality Window tools
start at $99 USD and come with free computerized training. You can quickly get started at solving your problems at minimal cost and effort.
A Proven Strategic Approach That Gets Results
Quality Window provides a full set of unique improvement
strategies....strategies that have been repeatedly applied and consistently
proven to achieve results across a broad set of applications such as:
- Process Control - SPC
- Quality Control - SQC
- Downtime & StopTracking-Reliability
- Reject/Scrap/Waste Tracking-Loss Reduction
- Health & Safety (Dust Control, Injuries, Weight Management, etc)
- Inventory Management
A key part of the success of Quality Window has been the simplification of
statistical methods. We have learned through practical application that
simple statistical methods can work across a wide variety of applications and
enable everyone to apply these tools independently with standardized training... not
just a few statistical experts who often unintentionally add unnecessary
complexity that reduces overall understanding and ownership...vital to your
Six Sigma effort.
We have also learned the value of historical data and root cause analysis
since often the big problems are only visible by looking at the big picture and
understanding these root causes. Often, alternative computer systems focus
on automatically collected "real time" data only...technically impressive but
not necessarily effective to solving real problems.
