New! Free Project DashboardQuality Companion’s all-in-one project file makes it easy to view every aspect of your quality improvement and Six Sigma initiative. But what if you’re managing multiple projects and want to review one or all of them? We’ve made that easy, too, with the release of the free Quality Companion Dashboard. Just point the Dashboard to local or networked project files to access a single summary view of all your projects. You can also use this view to open and evaluate specific projects in Quality Companion. Colleagues without Quality Companion can review individual projects with our free Quality Companion Viewer. Quality Companion's Dashboard makes it easier than ever to stay on top of all your quality improvement projects. Request your free download now! Quality Companion Dashboard (v2.4) works with Quality Companion 2.x project files and will be available as long as Quality Companion 2.4 is in release. Back to top
When Good Projects FailThe goal of Six Sigma is to reduce process defects. But what if your improvement project itself is defective? The first step is to determine why, and our new webinar can help. Minitab Trainer Lou Johnson asked our customers why they considered any of their Six Sigma projects “failures” and turned the survey results into The Top 8 Reasons Why Six Sigma Projects Fail, an ASQ presentation he gave last month in Phoenix. He will present his findings again in a free webinar on Wednesday, April 23rd. Sign up now! The webinar also includes information on ways you can avoid these common pitfalls by implementing your projects with Quality Companion by Minitab.
