Many people consider QI Macros to be the most intuitive Six Sigma Software. Here’s why:
“Hi, I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma For Hospitals” and QI Macros [software].
“I left the phone company in 1995; I started doing some Quality Improvement consulting work and I needed some tools to be able to do what I needed to do. Back then I had a Macintosh Power Mac and Excel was running on that. Excel at that time had Excel for Macros and I know how to program, so I used that code to create some things like a Pareto chart.
