3-C's Explorer™
3-C's Explorer™ is so conceptually powerful - and yet so simple in its application - that you can now infuse six sigma quality into your products, processes and services from their inception.
When used in the earliest stages of product, process or service development, 3-C's Explorer™ provides a breakthrough foundation for Design for Six Sigma (DFSS).
The overall purpose of 3-C's Explorer™ is to discover, explore and quantify the direct impact of Capability, Control and Complexity on your business's bottom line.
Features
- Select from either Windows® desktop or platform-independent web client versions.
- Learning curve of minutes - not weeks.
- All calculations performed automatically.
- One-click graphs and reports for viewing, printing or exporting into other programs.
- Performs forward calculations from element-level six sigma metrics to unit- and customer-level business measures, including estimates of warranty claims.
- Performs reverse calculations from customer- and unit-level business measures to solve for required element-level six sigma metrics.
- Translates six sigma metrics into business measures for both short- and long-term scenarios.
- "What-If" calculations isolate the feasible element-level metric changes required for reaching customer- and unit-level business measures.
- Leverage calculations identify and quantify the contribution of element-level inputs -giving direction to development and improvement efforts.
- Save and share analyses with colleagues and peers.
- Communicate and collaborate concerning critical six sigma metrics throughout the product life cycle.
Benefits
- Simplicity and ease of use allow six sigma to be applied earlier, by more people, to more areas in an organization.
- Allows quantitative methods to be applied at critical, high-leverage points in product/process/service design and development.
- When used across an organization, 3-C's Explorer™ enables a common, quantitative language and basis for communication.
- Integration of 3-C's Explorer™ accelerates the pace of six sigma learning and increases knowledge retention.
