Lean Six Sigma

Copyright © 2011

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 less than $50 per measure.

One book about dashboards estimates the cost of a typical dashboard as follows:

Obviously, dashboards can be very expensive, but they don't need to be. Our 10-20-30 measure dashboards are very affordable and we can even help you get them going for a small fee.

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.
