Join us for the next Cause Mapping Root Cause Analysis Public Workshop in HOUSTON, TX on September 26-28
The best root cause analysis software you didn’t know you had!
Most people think of Excel software as only an application for creating spreadsheets, but it’s an excellent tool for capturing each element of a complete root cause analysis. By changing the way details are documented, a facilitator can improve the entire investigation process. The drawing tools in Excel are simple and flexible, and Excel is probably already on your computer. Learn to take advantage of Excel’s capabilities to change the way you investigate and prevent problems within your company.
The Cause Mapping® Template can be downloaded for either Microsoft Excel 2013 – 2010 – 2007. A separate version is available for the healthcare industry. Within the file, there is an “Excel Tips” worksheet that explains some of the tricks to utilizing the drawing functions within Microsoft Excel.
You don’t need expensive proprietary software to solve and document your problem investigations. Microsoft Excel is all you need.
The built-in drawing tools are intuitive and allow you to visually capture cause-and-effect relationships with boxes and arrows.
