New! Free Project Dashboard

Quality 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.

When Good Projects Fail

The 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.

New! Quality Companion 2.4

The best thing since Minitab® just got better.

Today we released Quality Companion 2.4 – an updated version of the software that is quickly becoming the package of choice for professionals implementing quality improvement. Enhancements include extensive updates for Capability Metrics and new data fields for improved project tracking and monitoring.

But most importantly, 2.4 works seamlessly with the free Quality Companion Dashboard – a fast and easy way to view summaries of all the projects in your company’s improvement program.

With Quality Companion you can organize all your project data into one file and use built-in templates to create standard tools such as Process Maps, C&E Matrices, FMEAs, SIPOCs and more. Best of all, you can enter your data once and use it everywhere.

If you’re not currently using Quality Companion, now is the time to download a free 30-day trial version.

If you are using Quality Companion, you can access all of version 2.4’s updated features by going to Help > Check for Updates within the application or contacting your system administrator.
