Six Sigma Project Software Recommendation

Lifestar (of Denver, CO) has an effecient & economical (approx $100) software program which piggy backs on Excell. Have found it easy to use & very effective.

Hey Buddy,
I came across very good software for your kind of application some time back..
There is a company called DSS offering this product. The product name is Solutions Process Software and I tell u that this is an excellent tool for project management as well as statistical analysis.
If I remember correctly this is the only software of its kind which has got project analysis tools like process mapping, brainstorming, cause & effect, 7 QC tools, advanced QC tools, DOE, QFD, FMEA and so on.. alongwith a perfect prject tracking mechanism.
Please visit their URL http://www.sixsigmadss.com , you will get further details on the product.
Njoy N Take Care!
Jack.
 
 

Use Minitab –  good product!

Minitab non-server edtion.

Another vote for Minitab.  Con would be the price, but the pros (including technical support, training, and statistical power) greatly outweigh that con.
Remember…you get what you pay for.  Also consider that you are NOT going to find one single software package that will “assist in all phases of DMAIC management”.  That almost sounds like you’re looking for something like TaxCut that allows you to simply answer a few interview questions and BAM…you’ve not only completed your taxes, but they are filed for you as well.  Instead…you answer a couple interview questions and BAM…not only is your Six Sigma project finished, there’s a check printed out for you of the $500,000 savings.
So…I recommend Minitab for the statistical analysis, and the standard Microsoft Office stuff for reporting, presentations, and the like.  Visio is good for creating a presentation-worthy process maps.  I haven’t come across any other software need.
Oh…and don’t forget there is a lot of value in doing some of this stuff (Six Sigma stuff, I mean) by hand, with pencil and paper.
Just my thoughts/opinions…FWIW.
