Template Benefits

1. Written in Excel -
   so your people already own and know how to use it
2. Professional image - maybe your hand drawings are okay, but how about your teammates?
3. Save time - not having to "start over" for every little change
   
4. Save money - by increasing what you can "do in-house"

Layout Diagram

also known as Spaghetti Diagram or Standard Work Chart

The Spaghetti Diagram template can be used for simple floor planning purposes, but it really shines as a Lean process improvement tool for creating a spaghetti map.

You start out by drawing a spagetti diagram of your current "as is" process, and then copy it to serve as a starting point for rearranging a spaghetti diagramm of your "to be" process.

 

 

Since these tools are priced for team use, and your people already own and know how to use Microsoft Excel... they have a much higher probability of actually using this powerful standardized work chart.

The greatest power of your layout diagram is when you print it out and post it on the shop floor along with printed Standard Work Instructions. Each circled number on the standard work chart corresponds with the operation sequence number on the Standard Work Sheet. And you can easily paste your Layout Diagramm right on the same page with your Standard Work Combination Sheet - which then gets printed and taped up right in front of each worker at their work station - to remind people of the right way to do each job - thereby eliminating costly quality mistakes.

The spaghetti diagram is even more effective when used with the rest of the lean, kaizen, and business process improvement templates. Just think of how different your continuous improvement program results might be if your leaders could spend more time actually improving processes - rather holing up in their office "inventing a template for that".

And once your people learn how to use any one of the Excel drawing templates, then they are fully trained to use every one of the other powerful drawing tools - like the Swim Lane Flow Chart and the Value Stream Map.

So why spend thousands of dollars for expensive drawing software? When you can have an Excel drawing tool that does almost everything that Visio can do.

And why ask your valuable people to waste their time trying to learn proprietary drawing software? When they could be learning to truly master the tool they already own and know something about.

Excel has far more drawing capabilities than most people realize. Check out our training videos, and see for yourself...
