Process improvement software

Minitab has released its Quality Companion Dashboard, a tool for users of Quality Companion.

The dashboard is a free utility that aggregates project data and lets Six Sigma professionals, managers and stakeholders view the progress of multiple projects simultaneously.

The company has also released Quality Companion 2.4, the latest update to its process improvement software. The update is free to registered users. An update to the free Quality Companion Viewer, which lets users share the information in a Quality Companion project file with anyone, is also available.

The software provides guidance and tools that simplify every step of a project, from determining its scope to reporting on its success.

Quality Companion is suitable for managing individual Six Sigma projects. But when a company has dozens or even hundreds of projects, leaders need a way to see what’s happening without opening every project file. This latest software helps stakeholders see, at a glance, how all those projects are progressing.

It gathers and summarises information from individual Quality Companion project files so that Master Black Belts, Champions and stakeholders can immediately and easily find the status of each project, in a single view. By applying easy-to-use filters to the summary, leaders can answer questions.
