Announcing QI Macros Chart Wizard for Excel

KnowWare International Inc. announces the new Chart Wizard for the QI Macros Lean Six Sigma Software for Excel. Even after Six Sigma training, most novices are confused about which chart to choose. Rather than forcing users to think their way through a forest of decision trees to choose a chart, wouldn't it be great if the decision tree was built into the software? In the QI Macros, it is! The QI Macros is the only software with this capability.

The QI Macros Chart Wizard will run pareto charts, descriptive statistics, dot plots, normal probability plots, control charts, scatter diagrams and even multivari charts based on the type of data selected. Instead of forcing users to become mathematicians or statisticians, the QI Macros automate much of the mental task of choosing charts so that users can jump straight to analysis and improvement performance.

The QI Macros now have four wizards to automate data analysis: Chart Wizard, Control Chart Wizard, Statistics Wizard and PivotTable Wizard. It’s a fast, affordable way to simplify, streamline and optimize Lean Six Sigma and business process improvement.

The QI Macros are an add-in for Microsoft Excel that automate all of the charts and diagrams required for statistical process control (SPC) and Lean Six Sigma. There are over 100,000 registered users. The QI Macros consist of four parts:

1. 30+ Macros that use existing Excel data to create pareto, control charts, and histograms.

2. Over 90 fill-in-the-blank templates for Lean Six Sigma.

3. Statistical analysis tools like ANOVA, f-test, regression, and a sample size calculator.

4. Data transformation tools like restacking, word counts and PivotTables.

Unlike complex statistical tools, the QI Macros tools can be used by anyone from "No Belts" to Black Belts. Users say that the QI Macros are convenient and hassle free:

Easy to learn. The pull-down menu gives immediate access to all tools.

Works directly on Excel data. No importing or exporting of data.

Automates the most common Lean Six Sigma improvement tools.
