What is EngineRoom?
- A Web based data analysis application with an intuitive, drag-and-drop graphical interface.
- A suite of powerful, simple-to-use Lean and Six Sigma data analysis tools that you can access from any place, at any time, on any device.
- Built for Lean Six Sigma professionals and presented in the familiar Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC).
Why Is EngineRoom the Right Choice?
1. Cuts the Cost of Calculation
Deployments are switching to EngineRoom to help realize significant cost savings.
- An EngineRoom license starts at $275 for a single annual license, with progressive discounts beginning with the purchase of 10 licenses.
- EngineRoom annual licenses are around 10% of the cost of Minitab's solutions.
- To get all the features in EngineRoom, you would need both Minitab (17) and Quality Companion (3) for a total cost of $2,390 per license.
2. Delivers the Tools You Use Most
EngineRoom provides all of the tools used by Green Belts and most Black Belts in 95% of projects.
- Over 65 Lean and Six Sigma tools, templates, tests and charts.
- Includes Lean and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) tools (such as Monte Carlo simulation not found in comparable software.
- Organized in the DMAIC order in which you work, from project planning to completion to presentation.
3. Takes Advantage of Mobile Technology
EngineRoom is in step with the future.
- Device independent, so you can acces it from your PC, Mac, Linux, tablet or other mobile device.
- Collaborate and share your data or results instantly with others on your team with the click of a button.
- Always the latest, most up to date version - no more hassles with updates or IT installations.
4. Designed for Ease of Use
Your focus should be on interpreting the data, not on how to use the tools.
- The tools are simplified, contain step-by-step instructions and color coding, and provide easy-to-interpret, annotated output.
- Patented EngineRoom wizards (Hypothesis testing and DOE) guide users to the appropriate test/design, with a direct option for experienced users.
- Many tools flow naturally into others, such as Affinity Diagrams > CTQC Trees > QFD/Cause & Effect Matrix > Input Screening Report > Control Plan.
5. Supports the Training Process
EngineRoom is configured to help Belts in training.
- EngineRoom is integrated with the online MoreSteam course content through tutorials and practice exercises.
- Creates a framework for projects and studies that allows you to organize your data and supporting files, located in one place for easy reference.
- Connected to the TRACtion project management portal (Q3 2014).
- Available in 9 languages (English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean)
