I really love this website, it seems like a treasure to me. Cos it’s what I have been searching up to now. Your instruction is very detailed and practical. I dont know who the web owner but I think he must be a TPM guru^^
Thanks for your feedback, let us know if you either have any questions or require guidance through TPM journey.
Dear Mr. LEANTPM6S,
You are very kind to suggest my questions, actually, I just wait 4 that^^. I really wish you also recommend some top-notch apps/softwares/websites being used for each TPM/WCM pillars. For example, I use Proeye software to analyze working motions to detect wastes and losses, Matlab web to model and analyze variations. But I also know what I know today could be out-of-date right after the other day. So, I think It will be a great share when u also recommend some great ones.
Ariel,
Thanks again for your feedback and questions. ProcessMA is an Excel add-in that will help you to better utilize Six Sigma tools. It’s available as a 30-day free trial on developer’s website and if you will find it useful, license can be purchased there.
