Business Drivers for Six Sigma/Lean Project Tracking Software
Executives
See escalating costs not a simple roll-up of project results tied to corporate priorities
Deployment Leaders
Lack of proper resources and tools to keep up with initiative growth and expansion
Champions
Bogged down by a deluge of ideas with no easy way to consistently capture, track, evaluate and prioritize
Master Black Belts
No central repository to share knowledge, methodology and reporting templates globally and leverage best practices based on prior projects
Black Belts
Unproductive time spent on ineffective manual tasks like finding people, pulling together simple standard reports, and communicating assignments
Team Members
Important communications like assignments are not made in a timely manner
EnterpriseTrack Solution for managing Six Sigma, Lean and Operational Excellence
The heart and soul of the EnterpriseTrack platform is its market-leading dashboard and reporting capabilities.They allow organizations to easily and securely compose, drill-down on, and share dashboards and reports on any phase of the project life cycle from Plan (strategy and business process alignment) to Select (ideas and proposals) to Mobilize (resources and training) to Execute (projects and knowledge) to Measure (metrics & financials and VoC):

Select
Automate your project “suggestion box” by capturing project ideas and requests online.
