Have you seen the fantastic Version 5 TapRooT® Software?

I thought I’d give everyone a peek at what we can all expect to see at TapRooT® Courses in the near future.  The screenshots I’m showing you are what is available RIGHT NOW in the Enterprise version 5.1.4 of the TapRooT® network software.

The software is based on Internet Explorer, so you can see how we’ve progressed to state-of-the-art web-based tools.
This is the landing page:

This screen is customized for each user.  It will show you all of YOUR investigations (those on which you are a Team Leader or a Team Member).  Everyone’s landing page will be slightly different, showing only those investigations that you are working on.

Once you start the investigation, the software will guide you through the 7-Step TapRooT® process.  The main page you’ll use for each investigation looks like this:

This page allows you to view any techniques you’ve been using in this investigation, and allow you to start a new technique with the click of a button.  Everything flows from the 7-Step Process.

Need a SnapCharT®?  It will look like this:

Once you’ve identified Casual Factors, the software automatically generates a blank Root Cause Tree®, ready for you to begin your analysis:

And Corrective Action development is just a click away on the 7-Step Process Flow:

You can also use some new trending tools, like this Root Cause Distribution report that tells you what Root Causes you’ve identified during your investigations:
