The most significant thing to note is that “Solutions Process” is perhaps the only software of its kind which combines Brainstorming, Prioritization, Cause and Effect Diagramming, Process Mapping and Analysis tools in an integrated manner, leading to unprecedented ease of use. For example, a process may be mapped using Process Mapping tool and then for analysis the same may be exported to a Brainstorming session where each step of the process becomes a point for analysis. Another example is that a Cause and Effect diagram may be drawn for analysis of the causes of a problem. The root causes thus identified may then be exported to a Brainstorming session for solution finding. The solutions thus found after generation of ideas and further filtering may then be directly used to create an Action Plan. The principle used is enter once, use many times in different tools.
 Group Reviews from Own Desks: The multi-user networked version of the product facilitates use of the system across the network and hence saves the time and the hassle of organizing group meetings. The meetings for progress review and brainstorming may be conducted whilst the participants are sitting at their own desks and not necessarily together in one room.
Comprehensive Reports: Extensive reporting facility provides reports on all activities performed using the software. Such reports are generated as regular reports as well as, optionally, as MS Word documents. This facilitates publishing and sharing of project execution story.
Repository of Projects Information: All the information regarding the execution of a Project is stored in a repository and is easily available for reference in future. This ensures that the knowledge gained through the execution of the projects is centrally stored, and serves as a step towards company wide “Knowledge Management”.
Customization Possible: For corporate users, customization if required can be done.
To summarize, “Solutions Process” is a unique software which brings together in an integrated tool box, most commonly used tools for Management (Process Mapping, Brainstorming and Ideas Filtering, Cause and Effect or Ishikawa Fishbone Diagramming and Root Cause Analysis) Statistical Analysis (7 QC tools, DOE, ANOVA, Regression Analysis, etc) and Project Management (Project Definition, Process Definition, Planning, Monitoring, Gantt Chart, Evaluation). “Solution Process” is available as desktop version for individuals and multi-user networked version for corporates. |
