Using the same statistical algorithms that have been in the SPC-PC family 'engine' for almost 20 years, Green Belt XLT is designed to provide an easy to use and affordable solution. The product works as an add-in to Microsoft© Excel, installed as a small icon on the task bar of Excel. When you click on the Green Belt XLT icon, you are only a few mouse clicks away from staring your Six Sigma project analysis!

Green Belt XLT is built from Quality America's powerful QA-Active SPC product, and supports fast, accurate, in-depth analysis of your data. Because this is NOT just an Excel macro, you have complete control over analysis and charting options. The chart output is simply awesome!
After a chart has been embedded onto a spreadsheet, the user can right-click on the chart and a popup menu will be displayed. For example, one of the menu items is Chart Type, which will launch a Wizard with the options that initially generated the chart. This allows the user to change a setting without having to regenerate the entire chart.
As with all our other products, Green Belt XLT correctly handles all types of data, whether normally or non-normally distributed. Statistics are shown directly on the chart. Advanced Statistics (subgroup stats) are shown below the chart on the spreadsheet. The product features Context Sensitive Help. Each dialog box has a button that links to a help file, providing a 'how to' to help guide users.

Green Belt XLT takes full advantage of the latest Microsoft programming models. Compiled as a COM Add-In, instead of a simple VBA macro, these products become a fast, secure and fully integrated feature within Excel. The charting engine of Green Belt XLT is written in C++ and the algorithms have been used by thousands of our customers for over a decade. The end result is an embedded chart object developed to do SPC charts, not just a macro that drives Microsoft's charting tool. The Cause & Effect Diagram and Prioritization Matrix are real charts, not pictures that can be edited. The result is the user controls the image, not a pre-defined, arbitrary rendering conceived by someone unfamiliar with your business processes.
