The Best Thing Since Minitab®Six Sigma Professionals use Minitab Statistical Software more than any other package to analyze their project data because it has the methods they need and is easy to use. But quality improvement involves more than data analysis. You have to plan and organize your projects, create a myriad of Six Sigma soft tools such as process maps, and know what analyses to perform and when. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a software package you could trust as much as Minitab® to help you meet these other challenges? There is - Quality Companion by Minitab™. With Quality Companion, you can easily design, implement, and report on your Six Sigma projects. In one package you can: Identify and scope your projects and quantify their risks. Develop a Roadmap™ from start to finish. Create project tools such as FMEAs and Cause and Effect Diagrams. Receive step-by-step guidance from a series of built-in Coaches. Develop presentations directly in the software. And much, much more.
One of Quality Companion’s most powerful features is Data Sharing. For example, when you enter X variables in a Fishbone diagram, you can easily import them into a Process Map without re-typing. More importantly, changes you make are automatically updated throughout your project, saving you precious time and reducing the possibility of errors. Streamline your Six Sigma program and deliver greater results by implementing your projects with a package designed to do just that. Quality Companion - the best thing since Minitab®. Back to top
