These templates are designed to supplement Our customers sometimes ask why Systems2win doesn't offer any templates to do any of the statistics (that are so prevalent in Six Sigma training). The answer is that your Systems2win templates for DMAIC process improvement are designed to supplement - (not replace) - your favorite statistical software - filling in the holes that statistical software typically does so poorly. There are already many excellent statistical packages to choose from, and you will find your Systems2win templates to be an excellent complement to any statistics software that you choose. When you compare the price and features of their non-statistical offerings, it won't take you long to appreciate why we have chosen this market niche - Six Sigma software without statistics - for the foundational quality methods and tools that statistical software does poorly (if at all). |
