The Essential Data Analysis Software for Operational Excellence Teams

EngineRoom is Designed for Continuous Improvement

Getting to the root of a problem is already challenging enough. Doing that work with tools scattered across different apps only makes it harder. Many organizations use Excel for data, Visio for mapping, and Word for templates, while statistical software is cluttered with far more tools than continuous improvement practitioners actually need. There's simply too much going on.

These platforms were never built with OpEx teams in mind. Your data analysis software should be designed for continuous improvement—and easy to use.

“If you want to focus on process improvement, we provide a focused set of tools to help you in your efforts.”

— Karina Kretz, Director of Product – EngineRoom

This focus is what EngineRoom delivers. EngineRoom is web-based data analysis software built as an all-in-one toolbox for process improvement, Lean Six Sigma, and Operational Excellence. It provides all the tools needed for continuous improvement projects from chartering to piloting, supporting every phase of work.

All the Tools You Need in One Place

With EngineRoom, teams can collect and organize information like voice of the customer data, sort through requirements, build process maps and diagrams, run statistical analyses, model improvements, and create implementation plans that clarify who will do what by when. EngineRoom brings everything together into one platform built for your work, making it the essential software for OpEx teams.

EngineRoom offers more than 80 tools and templates, organized in flexible menu options that align with common roadmaps like DMAIC, DCDOV, PDSA, PDCA, or a roadmap-agnostic view.

Process Modeling: The Secret to Being World-Class

Sometimes solving a problem calls for the simplest tool possible. But often that is not enough. When problems get complex, EngineRoom provides what most software doesn't: integrated process modeling. If you want to be efficient in implementing a solution, especially when people are involved, it is far easier, faster, and safer to run a virtual pilot or experiment. That is the power of process modeling. It allows you to learn quickly and make changes with greater certainty of success.

As Bill Hathaway, MoreSteam’s CEO, explains:

“If you really want to be world-class, you cannot do a lot of trial and error. […] You want to do trial and error learning without the trial and error cost and trouble, and do it quickly rather than in the real world. If you can accelerate that learning, you can get to the optimal solution faster.”

With EngineRoom’s Process Playground, you can model processes virtually to validate improvements, rapidly test what-if scenarios, stress test process design changes, and understand the impact of variation on your process before making costly real-world changes.

At Medtronic, Process Playground is used to inexpensively prototype processes, delivering world-class results such as doubling production output and increasing operator and machine utilization from 70% to 98%.

As operational excellence work becomes more process-model driven, EngineRoom keeps you ahead with Process Playground, a powerful capability built directly into the platform—not an expensive add-on.

Built by CI Practitioners, for CI Practitioners

EngineRoom was created by a team of seasoned professionals with decades of experience leading improvement efforts across industries and organizations of every size. From global enterprises to small businesses, our team includes process improvement practitioners and Master Black Belts who have lived the realities and challenges of pursuing operational excellence firsthand. That expertise shaped EngineRoom into essential software for OpEx teams, built for the way real improvement work gets done.

Real-world problem solving is often messy, complicated, and complex. EngineRoom is designed around a simple but powerful approach: question, action, answer. Instead of jumping to conclusions or prescriptively selecting a tool, EngineRoom guides practitioners to slow down, ask the right questions, and apply the right tools in the right order to drive meaningful, data-backed improvements.

This framework structures critical thinking the way improvement work should get done, and users feel the difference.

All the Data Analysis Tools Without the High Price Tag

Continuous improvement is about reducing waste, cutting costs, and driving efficiency. But too often, the tools meant to support that mission do the opposite. OpEx software is notoriously expensive, sold in fragments, and priced as if every user is a power user. That’s hardly efficient and doesn’t serve operational excellence work.

EngineRoom was designed to take a different approach, building fair pricing into the platform from the start. At a fraction of the cost of other data analysis software, EngineRoom delivers all the features necessary for process improvement without compromise. Why overpay for software when EngineRoom offers the best of both worlds, packing power without breaking the bank. Learn more about EngineRoom pricing.

Our enterprise-wide licensing accommodates varying usage levels without penalizing teams, and software updates are automatic at no extra cost, and the platform is easy to use. Most importantly, you get every tool you need in one place, designed specifically for continuous improvement.

For OpEx teams, the choice is simple: you can keep piecing together tools and paying for software that just raised its prices, or you can use EngineRoom, the only data analysis platform built specifically for continuous improvement. It gives you every tool you need in one place, designed to support every aspect of your work.
