To accelerate any process, you have to be able to measure and improve the key steps in that process. To simplify and automate much of this data collection, the QI Macros include a Time Tracking Template.

To use the Time Tracking Template:

1. Click on the cell in column A to populate the current date.
2. Click on the cell in column C when the process starts to populate the date and time.
3. Click on the cell in column D when the process stops to populate the date and time.
4. Populate columns B, E and F with other information about each event.
5. Column G is calculated as the difference between the start and stop time (columns C and D).
6. Column H converts column G into minutes. This conversion is usually necessary to run charts.
7. Select the data in column H to run a chart.
8. To edit dates or times in columns A, C and D, click on the cell you want to edit and make changes in Excel's formula bar window.
