For certification purposes, we don't require that projects deliver significant bottom-line results, only that they demonstrate your ability to properly apply the approach and the tools taught during the training in the real world.

It gives you unparalleled insight into the critical factors affecting risk. With Crystal Ball, you can make the right tactical decisions to reach your objectives and gain a competitive edge under even the most uncertain market conditions.

Using Monte Carlo simulation, Oracle Crystal Ball automatically calculates and records the results of thousands of different "what if" cases. Analysis of these scenarios reveals to you the range of possible outcomes, their probability of occurring, the inputs that most impact your model, and where you should focus your efforts. Oracle Crystal Ball is for strategic planners, financial analysts, engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, CPAs, marketing managers, venture capitalists, consultants, Six Sigma professionals, and anyone else who uses spreadsheets to forecast uncertain results.

SIX SIGMA, LEAN SIX SIGMA & DESIGN FOR SIX SIGMA

Whether you’re designing an engine or perfecting a process, efficiency is key—and you rely on your Lean Six Sigma or Design for Six Sigma practice to get you there. But if you’re only basing your analysis on hard data—not on the variation inherent in any manufacturing, engineering, or service process—you’re only getting halfway there. Oracle’s Crystal Ball takes you the rest of the way, allowing you to use simulation, modeling, optimization, and forecasting to predict and reduce the effects of variation.

To succeed, process improvement programs must combine a tight focus with the right people and the best tools—and when it comes to software, the best tools are the ones that streamline your journey to profitability. Crystal Ball is one such tool. As a suite of Microsoft Excel add-ins, Crystal Ball software works to turn your existing engineering and process spreadsheet models into dynamic analytical tools that help you identify and control the negative effects of variation throughout your Six Sigma projects.

Six Sigma applications of Crystal Ball include

• Design development and optimization
• Tolerance and reliability analyses
• Project selection
• Process simulation (especially important when historical data is lacking)
