Spaghe t ti Diagram
Follow one job across the floor and draw every walk it takes over the floor plan, tap by tap. The tool measures the paths in metres, per cycle and per shift, turns them into minutes of walking, counts the visits to each stop, shows where the paths cross most, and compares the layout before and after the change.
3 · Draw the walks
Tap the plan to add a point to the walk being drawn: each tap is one segment. A drag scrolls the page and adds nothing. The points table below is the same walk for the keyboard.
No walks yet. Tap the plan to start one, or .

Your work
All your work in one file
Every tool keeps your work only in this browser. Save it as one file to keep a copy, to carry on from another phone or computer, or to hand it to a colleague. Nothing is uploaded.
Then clear old entries in these tools to make room: the file keeps them, and opens on any device.
Works offline too: once a tool has been opened on this device, it and the other tools of its role open without a connection.
Team sync Off
Share the tools you choose with your team: every device keeps working without a connection and syncs when it can. The work is encrypted on this device with a key made from the team code, so the server cannot read it.
Your team code
On another device, open this box and scan the code or type the six words under “Join a team”. Give it only to your team: whoever has it can read and change the shared work. Write it down; it is not shown again.

- Six Sigma · 5 minSigma & Control Cha
r tTurn defects into a sigma level, combine on time, undamaged and complete into perfect delivery, and see whether a bad day is a signal or noise.→ - Worksheet · 10 min5 WhysMove from a symptom to a root cause you can change, then agree one countermeasure, one owner and one check. Print it or save it as PDF.→
- Root causes · 15 minFishbonePut the effect at the head and collect causes with the team on the 6M, 4P or hotel bones, each with its why. Votes and likely causes rank them, the likely ones become actions to verify, and the top one goes to 5 Whys or the causes to Pareto.→
- Risk · 30 minFMEAWrite down how each process step can fail, rate severity, occurrence and detection, and get the RPN and the AIAG-VDA action priority. A heat map, the top ten risks and the actions with owners until the re-rating shows the risk is gone.→
- Six Sigma · 10 minProcess LabPaste measurements and get the right control chart (I-MR, Xbar-R/S, np, c, u) with Nelson rules and before/after phases, Cpk, chi-square, regression and a Gage R&R or attribute agreement study. Every number in plain words.→
- Lean · 20 minTime StudyTime each element over five cycles with a stopwatch, space bar as the lap key. Get the standard time per station, takt from demand, a Yamazumi against it and the first element to move.→
- Lean · 30 minValue Stream MapMap one flow from supplier to customer with the pieces waiting between the steps. Get the lead-time ladder, PCE, takt and the bottleneck, then draw the future state and send its kaizen bursts to the Action Tracker.→
- Standard · 20 minStandard WorkOne job as a TWI breakdown: major steps, key points marked Safety, Quality, Technique or Cost, and a reason for each, with the time per step against the takt. Versions with change notes, print on A4, Word.→
