Visual Work Instructions  
Job instructions that are detailed enough to minimize the productivity and quality losses so common to training a new-hire or a vacation replacement.
Every instructional step can be supplemented with a picture or screen shot, perhaps with arrows or other shapes or text for further clarification of the picture. Pictures and instructions can be different sizes. And your ISO 9000 controlled final deliverable PDF can still have active hyperlinks to training videos, engineering drawings, or any other supporting documentation for that process step.

Excel templates for kaizen continuous improvement

Systems2win offers field-proven excel templates for kaizen, lean manufacturing, and business process improvement. Popular continuous improvement methods explain a large part of why today's markets are so competitive, and these six sigma tools, business planning, and project management tools can help your team to excel - just as they have helped so many others become leaders of their markets.

Every template is written using Microsoft Word and Excel ,
so your people already know how to use them and can be immediately productive.
Because the price is so affordable, your people can communicate with every team member;
not just the few that "have a license for that".

Hidden beneath the familiar user interface of Word and Excel are greatly extended capabilities -
leveraging the power of Visual Basic and drawing shapes.
And every template is personalized with your logo!

Training for Excel templatesEach excel template comes with plenty of helpful on-line training, so the learning curve takes only minutes.
Now your project managers and team members can focus their attention on the problems they are trying to solve, rather than wasting hours or days "inventing a template for that".

 

Excel templates for Lean Kaizen Business Process Improvement

Most of our new clients find us because they are looking for Lean manufacturing and lean tools, or are looking for a toolkit for a Kaizen initiative for business process improvement.

The most popular Lean tool is the value stream mapping template, which uses special symbols known as "the language of Lean" to visually depict the flow of inventory and information. (Tip: Get a free trial version value stream mapping template when you sign up for our newsletter.)

The Spaghetti Diagram and Standard Work Sheet are used together to provide clearly understandable work instructions, using both words and visual images.

While lean tools are ideal for analyzing and optimizing highly repetitive processes with short cycle times, the swim lane flow chart software and related business process engineering tools are ideal for processes with medium-length cycle times, (like sales order processing, engineering changes, etc.).

With a toolbox full of Systems2win templates, your Lean leaders can focus on improving business processes - no time delays - no long learning curves - just impressive results.

Excel templates for DMAIC Lean Six Sigma

The Systems2win six sigma tools are designed to fill in the holes found in the tool kit of many a Black Belt.

Yes, this is a suite of DMAIC tools to Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control any process... but the big difference is that these tools don't do any statistics.

Your Systems2win Six Sigma toolkit includes all of those other quality improvement tools that your statistical software does so poorly (if at all).

The Ishikawa root cause analysis fishbone diagram, House of Quality, Quality Functional Deployment Matrix, FMEA, Measures Assessment, critical to quality tree diagrams, Kano Analysis, and team organization tools will dilate the pupils of any experienced DMAIC project manager.

Strategic Planning Tools

Among the business planning tools, the balanced scorecard is the most popular. Executive teams use it to come up with strategic performance measures that are balanced between factors such as trailing vs. leading indicators, subjective vs. objective, goal attainment vs. relative improvement.

The policy deployment matrix, provides an impressively simple way of correlating "ivory tower" strategic decisions with everyday tasks.

The "hidden jewels" among these templates are the Strategic Planning Worksheets. These eleven fill-in-the-blanks worksheets help every member of your executive team prepare for your next round of strategic planning with succinct thoroughness for every topic ranging from sales to finance to logistics.

Gantt Chart Excel template Project Management tools

Every one of the above types of projects will benefit from the generic project management tools, which include a Gantt chart, and many useful tools that will brighten the eyes of any Project Manager.

Excel templates for ERP Software Project Management

If your company is doing an enterprise software project, then you will benefit from every continuous improvement tool mentioned above, plus about 50 more.

Our project management tools have been field-proven with hundreds of clients, and include everything your Project Manager will need to select and implement enterprise software.

Job Instructions Worksheet

Training Program Design

Once you start changing things, you're soon going to need to start training your people to do things in new ways. Training Program Design tools include a Cross-Training Matrix, a Training Program Design Specification worksheet, and many helpful tools.

Use the Job Instructions worksheet to provide your new-hires and temporaries with detailed training - with written work instructions supplementing the (much more easily understood) pictures.

Every one of these business Excel templates comes with extensive on-line training. Not only text and video training for how to use Excel and Microsoft Office drawings, but also on-line education for topics specific to each template. Some templates include a link to our 130+ page lean kaizen training, others have links to the definitions of takt time, cycle time, and lead time, while others have links to education that is very specific for how to use that particular tool. Most of our clients agree that this on-line training and continuous improvement education is the pleasant surprise "free prize" that provides even more value than they originally knew they were getting when they first purchased their Excel templates for continuous improvement.

These templates will save you a lot of time, and make you look good.
