Our Green Belt and Black Belt training is offered using two different software packages, Minitab and SigmaXL
Minitab®
Minitab is the most popular software taught and used in Six Sigma and Quality Management training programs. It has been in use for decades, and continues to evolve over the years.
Minitab is available for free with a 30-day trial.
SigmaXL
As an add-in to the already familiar Microsoft Excel, SigmaXL is ideal for Lean Six Sigma training or use in a college statistics course, that covers most of the features needed for Six Sigma analysis and project work.
SigmaXL is available for free with a 30-day trial.
If you or your business are looking to be serious about data analysis and to solve significant business problems, and there are more than a few people in your organization who have been trained on Minitab, or you are looking to become a full-time Six Sigma consultant, then Minitab would be a good option.
SigmaXL is a great option for those familiar with Excel and don’t need a “power user” application such as Minitab. Excel will have its limitations when running an analysis with multiple interactions and variables, this is where Minitab will perform best. SigmaXL is also a lower cost alternative.
To learn how to use Minitab or SigmaXL, register for the OpEx Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course.
