Business Process Improvement tools

Lean templates for continuous process improvement Most Lean journeys start with 5S workplace organization. Spaghetti Diagram and Standard Work The Layout Diagram is another process improvement template that  can be used for simple floor planning purposes, but it really shines as a spaghetti mapping tool for Lean process improvement. And Standard Work is arguably the most important of all Lean tools - because if the people doing the actual work aren't doing it the way that everyone agreed was the best way to do it - then your entire lean effort was wasted. The swim lane cross functional flow chart is extended with several process improvement templates that encompass all process engineering concepts taught within The Reengineering Handbook, by Ray Manganelli. Lean Training Tools Once you start changing things, you're going to need to start training people to do things in new ways. That's when you will soon appreciate Work Instructions, and the entire Systems2win suite of Word & Excel process improvement templates to design a training program.

Value Stream Mapping Value Stream Mapping is our most popular process improvement tool. Or more correctly - an entire suite of tools with everything you need to do value stream and supply chain mapping right.

DMAIC Lean Six Sigma Quality Improvement You won't get far on any Lean Journey before encountering quality problems. The Systems2win Six Sigma templates will complete your toolkit with the quality templates that your favorite statistics software probably does poorly: Basic Quality Tools Design for Six Sigma tools TPM Total Productive Maintenance

Continuous Improvement tools to manage any type of project   Hosting a Kaizen Event is one of the most field-proven ways to rapidly improve a process - and make the gains stick.

How to use the Tool Matrix - to select the right tool

If you don't yet own your Systems2win templates, then download your free trial now.

And complete the Quick Start training
so that you know how to find and open your Systems2win templates.

Then find the Tool Matrix on the home page of your Systems2win Portal
and use it to find the right tool(s) - using:

• Excel's Filter feature - to filter for any search criteria in any of the columns
• CTRL+F - to Find keyword phrases
• Translations - if your company owns translations,
  then people can find tools in their native language
• Google Site Search - and other Search Tips

If you're not using Translations, hide that column.

If your company owns Translations, then switch between then using the button on the Help sheet

The Or column contains other popular names for each continuous improvement tool.

So that you are more likely to find what you're looking for when you use CTRL+F to Find key phrases

The Where columns tell you where to find your template

If you're new to Systems2win - see the instructions for how to find and open your templates.

If there is no Filename or Bundle, then there is no Systems2win template for that tool - just on-line training.

If you want to try a template that does not come with the Trial version - you can try them all with a money back guarantee.

The Expand column

Every template can be used to focus your team's attention.
This column identifies tools that can also Expand your team's thinking.

Each tool has a unique Purpose. Use Objectives for filtering.

The most useful columns for using Excel's Filter are Objectives and Systems.

Rather than using word wrap, temporarily expand the width of columns to read long phrases

Then reduce column width again so everything fits nicely on your screen.

When

Filter by when to use each tool in the PDCA cycle.

Does your team prefer the DMAIC cycle? Or some other?
It's Excel. You can easily personalize any Systems2win template. (including this one)

If your process involves a Service (rather than a product)

Use that column to Filter for tools that are commonly used for healthcare, government, office, and other administrative environments.
