SDI Tools is a set of commercial software add-in tools for Microsoft Excel developed and distributed by Statistical Design Institute, LLC., a privately owned company located in Texas, United States.

SDI Tools were first developed in 2000 by Dr. George Chollar, Dr. Jesse Peplinski, and Garron Morris as several Add-Ins for Microsoft Excel to support a methodology for product development that combined elements of Design for Six Sigma and Systems Engineering[1][2]

Today, SDI Tools are split into two main Microsoft Excel Add-Ins called Triptych and Apogee.

Application of SDI Tools[edit]

SDI Tools are typically used in Six Sigma training,[3][4] industry,[5][6][7][8] and academic research [9][10][11]
