"When performance is measured, performance improves" ~ Thomas Monson
We build customized spreadsheet tools to enable our clients to track performance of individual machines,
and overall results. Contact us if you have a specific requirement or want more information.
A popular engineering axiom (author unknown) states "One test is worth a thousand expert opinions".
We believe that,
and we know that an unbiased measurement is the first step in improving just about anything.
We can help you make unbiased feedback part of the tools of your business.
We will periodically post a series of spreadsheet tools to help your efforts at measuring and improving performance in your mill. Feel free to download them and use them, or modify them for your own purposes.
Sample spreadsheets as mentioned in the Timber Processing article:
"Variation – Quiet Thief", May 2008 Edition.
- The board thickness spreadsheet is set up for you to enter a single thickness measurement on each of a series of boards. Using the resulting calculated mean and standard deviation, the spreadsheet will allow you to play "what if" with regard to your board thickness settings, given your current variation.
