Looking for a Y-Shaped / 3-way Matrix Template (Excel or Visio)

[Buck_]

I've searched Elsmar, ASQ, and asked all of the Quality folks in my office. Does anyone have a Y-Shaped matrix in visio or excel? I've lurked a lot here, but as I have not posted enough I can not include an image. The Y-shaped matrix diagram is basically a triangle that depicts the relationships between requirements, departments, and metrics.

I can't quite guess what you mean....
something like this? http://asq.org/img/laq/snmpt_y-shaped_matrix.gif

Yes, that is exactly what I'm looking for. Just need it in visio, excel, access.....

Does this help? It is not as pretty as a 3-dimensional matrix but it's easy to read.

Thank you Roxane. It does depict the relationships. I had set-up something similar in powerpoint.

Not to be too picky... I was hoping for something like the HOQ from QFD Online (I cant post the link b/c I don't have enough posts). Visio also has a good HOQ template where you can populate the data and identify relationships with data validation.

Have you downloaded the templates at QFD Online? They're free.

 

[Buck_]

Yes, I use them for HOQ applications.

Hello Buck,
Did you manage to find anything on the Y-Matrix template you'd like to share? I desperately need one for a client. Thanks
