We help people think!

In September 2006, the Aberdeen Group published their Lean Six Sigma Benchmark Report. One of their five recommendations for action was to "integrate data collection with analysis." That's what scorecards and dashboards do! Just enter your data and the color-coded scorecards and graphical dashboards are created automagically!

It's easy to create dashboards and scorecards using our Fill-in-the-Blanks Scorecard and Dashboard System. These system consist of four parts:

• A place to describe your measures. You can choose from 10, 20 and 30 measure systems.
• A place to enter your results
• A color-coded (green, yellow, red -- good, poor, bad) scorecard that shows how well you're performing
• A control chart for each measurement that shows actual performance as a graph.

Best of all, they are only $50 per measure.

Measurement Dashboards

It's easy to use Microsoft Excel to create measurement dashboards and scorecards customized to your needs using our fill-in-the-blanks systems.

Describe Your Measures
The first step is to describe your measurements. Most measurements consist of two things:

• A Numerator (the number on top)
• A Denominator (the divisor)

Simply describe each measure and the numerator and denominator (denominators are optional), and the rest of the system will automatically populate these values to the data entry, scorecard and dashboard sheets.

Here's what the entry form looks like:

Data Entry Sheet
You can then start entering data into the data entry sheet. It has space for up to 24 months, 24 weeks, 24 days, or whatever time period you desire.

These values are automatically converted in to measures and shown on the scorecards and dashboard charts.

Color Coded Scorecards visually report the status of your metrics.

Again in the "Describe Your Measures" sheet, enter the target or goal for each measure and indicate the thresholds for yellow, red or even purple (good).

These thresholds are used to display the good, bad and the ugly on your scorecards (example of a hospital dashboard is shown below). The yellow and red (bad and ugly) enables immediate action by the leadership team.

Control Charts
For better analysis of process performance, the system creates Xbar (i.e., average) control charts of your data automatically from the scorecard.

Special Bonus When You Buy One of These Measurement Dashboards and Leadership Scorecards

Jay has just taken everything he knows about creating these management tools and put them into an e-book that you can download right now. It contains step-by-step instructions for:

• Choosing the right measurement, because what gets measured, gets done. Choosing the wrong measures can set your unit on a course for disaster.
• Setting up your data for optimal ease of entry
• Creating your charts with Excel's Chart Wizard
• Organizing your charts into a dashboard
• Creating visual scorecards using Excel's formatting features.
• Advanced analysis of your line-item data with Excel's Pivot Table function. He also shows you how to analyze text-oriented comment fields using the COUNTIF function. This section alone will save you tons of time.
• Adding control charts and histograms to your dashboard using the QI Macros Control Chart Templates. Simple line and bar graphs aren't enough to adequately analyze your performance. You need control charts and histograms that show you whether the process is stable and capable or out of control so that you can take immediate corrective action.
  Best of all, it's so easy to paste your data into the control chart templates and let Excel automatically update your charts.

This e-book is available in PDF format for immediate download. It will save you hours and even days every month of time-consuming charting.

Investment: $97 (but it's FREE when you purchase one of the Dashboard and Scorecard systems).

It's not available in print, only downloadable e-book format. Get your copy now. Remember, it's only FREE with the purchase of a dashboard system.
