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):
Plan
- Drive strategy execution from the top-down by defining projects which align with corporate priorities (e.g. Balanced Scorecards, Hoshin objectives, performance targets, etc.).
- Improve business process performance through real-time visibility to business process metrics and KPIs that are impacted by aligned process improvement projects.
Select
- Automate your project “suggestion box” by capturing project ideas and requests online.
- Formalize a consistent set of project prioritization and weighted selection criteria and proposal approval processes.
Mobilize
- Assign resources, track, and roll-up actual utilization, effort, results, and costs against objectives, plans and budgets.
- Manage Belt training registration, administration, certification and reporting.
Execute
- Stay on top of all projects at all times and assure best-practice application of chosen Six Sigma roadmaps (e.g. DMAIC, DMADV, etc.) and methodologies.
- Share best practices, documents, and project templates leveraging a centralized knowledge base to consistently replicate project successes.
Measure
- Measure project performance by time, yield or other non-financial metrics of choice from idea to annualized summary and calculate and track the financial impact of all projects using a robust portfolio of supported financial models and concepts.
