List of Six Sigma software packages explained

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.
