This course delivers in-depth, hands-on instruction in harnessing Microsoft Excel as an advanced platform for quality management, continuous improvement, and operational excellence. Participants begin by learning to build foundational spreadsheets for quality data collection and workflow documentation, then progress to designing complex, interconnected workbooks for end-to-end process tracking. The curriculum features detailed modules on essential formulas, logical functions (IF, VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH), data validation, automated alerts, and conditional formatting to flag variances and outliers in real time. Learners will master advanced functions such as pivot tables, dynamic charts, data modeling, and Power Query for multisource data integration.
The program emphasizes building interactive dashboards and visual scorecards to monitor KPIs, track project milestones, and communicate results to stakeholders. Real-world case studies demonstrate how to automate CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions) workflows, audit logs, process risk assessments, and root cause analysis directly within Excel. Participants engage in hands-on exercises that include creating templates for ISO compliance, setting up version control, and implementing secure data sharing protocols.
