Digital Statistics Tables

Most practitioners do not frequently use the statistics tables, such as the normal distribution and t distribution. You may not have used them since your last Lean Six Sigma or statistics class. Is the lack of use due to the availability? If you would like a digital copy of the statistics table that has no intellectual property or copyright restrictions, download it here. This is an Excel workbook file, with all the equations that are used. Load it onto your laptop or your mobile device for quick access.

Improved Enterprise Improvement Plan (EIP) Template

As Smarter Solutions continues to refine the Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) system, we tweak certain tools to improve their use.

The fourth column has been defined as the improvement being targeted, with the fifth column being the specific project or task that is linked to the improvement.
