List of Six Sigma software packages
{{Short description|none}}
There are generally four classes of software used to support the Six Sigma process improvement protocol:
- Analysis tools, which are used to perform statistical or process analysis;
- Program management tools, used to manage and track a corporation's entire Six Sigma program;
- DMAIC and Lean online project collaboration tools for local and global teams;
- Data Collection tools that feed information directly into the analysis tools and significantly reduce the time spent gathering data.
