Big data offers us the possibility to collect data every second and store it. We should embrace new technology and use the best of all worlds. The six sigma people and manufacturing people are not always talking the same language. It is statistics and LSS and Big Data and AI and financial information. Recommendation for a different approach It is not statistics or LSS. So it all depends on requirements and resources. If you need behaviour charts, training and multi vari and don t want to spend a lot of money then we recommend to use SPC Wizard. Marc Schaeffers goes on to say: "If you are a black belt and you have to do DOE studies then Minitab or JMP might be perfect. If you are looking for an integrated real time SPC solution and maybe need to expand in the future to collect data automatically from CMM or PLC integrated with for example FMEA or automatically create COAs then a system like DataLyzer is more suitable." If you are looking for a simple analysis of data Excel or Excel based tools might be perfect. What are you looking for and then find the appropriate tool. It all depends on the requirement and capabilities of your organization. "Should we not discuss what the requirements are.

No More of that!" Minitab will no longer be the software of choice for the Lean Six Sigma community. What they did was damage forever their relationships with those that supported them, so much that we invested years of effort creating materials with their software. There reasons was that they were being more customer focused. Steven Bonacorsi goes on to share, "Minitab historically would give Master Black Belts, Teachers, Authors, and Consultants who were creating content using Minitab a free license, this was an annual renewal program that existed for more than 20 years." "Then during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, not only did Minitab end that program, they then raised their prices.

To make curriculum designers pay for the licenses that we received for free for over 20 years, where we created training on their product, then during the Covid-19 crisis they are going to increase customer pricing and make the promoters of their product pay. "I am updating all my materials and I am writing Minitab completely out. Is it because they don't want everyone to know that they are paying partners to refer Minitab to their clients? Oh you thought you were listed right - here go find your partnership on the list No, they removed you last year.

But $1,610 for a 1 year license for a tool the students do not use every day, is too muchĭid you Know Minitab removed all of you that partnered with them from their Website? Even though you listed Minitab on your website? Why? They started out as a low-cost solution at Penn State and it worked 20 years ago. Minitab is no longer a trusted partner in Lean Six Sigma. We always told students, you don't need to be a statistician with Lean Six Sigma but at least 2 of the 4 weeks in Black Belt training is covering stats. We don't spend weeks teaching them financial analysis using Tableau or some other financial tool, excel works for that analysis, and lower cost and simpler options exists for most data analysis. Many spend too much time teaching students Minitab and statistical analysis and most of you know that the majority of the time the root cause is found at the gemba, talking to the operators, and listing to the customer.
