EngineRoom provides you with automatic updates within the application, so the latest version is always available - and FREE. See below for an overview of recently released features and new functionality.
Introduce your students to all the process improvement tools with a step‐by‐step tour of how to use each tool in EngineRoom. No need to prepare extra class materials — slide sets are available for commonly used Lean and DMAIC tools. If students have questions when they're practicing or later doing project work, they can access the in‐product User Support that includes video tutorials and the same step‐by‐step instructions.
The revamped VOC tools—Affinity Diagram, CTQC, and Cause & Effect Matrix—help you to better analyze customer feedback and take action with confidence and clarity. We've also added a new feature that unifies these tools and creates a smooth flow of trackable information. A VOC roadmap now appears in the top corner of these new studies, signaling the passage of information from one study to the next.
Have a long list of studies? Organize your studies into folders to make them more accessible and visible. Name your folders according to your project phases, types of information, teammates, or other categories of your choice.
Identify the Special Case causes that affect the outcome and communicate them efficiently and effectively. Our Root Cause Tree allows you to brainstorm and build diagrams quickly, ready for projects and presentations alike.
Your working draft can now be presentation-ready with these new enhanced features.
We're proud to introduce the new and improved Process Playground, an online discrete event simulation and process modeling tool, now available in EngineRoom.
Test before you invest with by creating a virtual prototype of your process and experiment with solutions, without the real-life cost.
Choose how you want your tools organized.

EngineRoom helps you get it right the first time. When you upload your data, empty data cells will be highlighted in red. You can also have EngineRoom check for numeric outlier values and inconsistencies in data type (numeric, text, or date). Identify potential issues early and proceed with confidence.
EngineRoom just got smarter! Guided mode is now available for charts, graphs, and statistical tools. Now, even if you haven't used a particular tool for a long time, you can proceed efficiently and confidently. We'll lead you through step-by-step from entering the right data to making sure you've considered the available options.
Develop a plan to keep stakeholders actively engaged to ensure projects are successful and the changes are sustained. This template guides you to identify both internal and external stakeholders and then to create a communications plan for the project's duration.
Take a look at the new landing page that provides a master view of your project work. It's a more visual way to display your project list and provides quicker, more visible access to your studies. There is also a new section for announcements, reminders, and helpful information.
