 MAXIMIZE THE BENEFITS OF USING MINITAB SOFTWARE!

 

NEW Webinar: Expanded Gage R&R Minitab 16 Statistical Software

We cannot improve what we cannot measure – we need to use Gage R&R. This statistical tool helps us verify the integrity and consistency of our measurement systems.  

But what if you need to consider more than just parts and operators in your study? For example, what if you also need to include different measurement devices?

A new, free webinar reveals how Minitab 16's Expanded Gage R&R functionality can help. Presented by Lou Johnson, Minitab technical training specialist, this event will lead participants through two different customer case studies where Minitab’s Expanded Gage R&R was used to evaluate a measurement system.

This webinar will be offered on August 25 at 11:00 AM EDT (GMT -4:00) and on September 1 at 2:00 PM EDT (GMT -4:00).  Space is limited, so register today!

 NEW CASE STUDY!

 

Phoenix Contact: Powering Through Projects

Quality Trainer by MinitabPhoenix Contact—a leading manufacturer of electrical connection and industrial automation technology—began using Minitab's Quality Companion software in January 2011. And even though the deployment is still in its early stages, the software has already proven extremely beneficial. 

For example, Quality Companion provides and stores all of the tools and documents related to each project in a single file that’s easy to share, review, and archive. That's important in a company that, with more than 25,000 product offerings, is always doing a multitude of projects simultaneously.

"With Quality Companion, all of our project data is centralized," says Joe Russo, a Phoenix Contact Master Black Belt. "I can’t imagine going back to multiple files and folders to manage my projects."

 MINITAB IN THE LAB 

 

Warding Off a New Wrinkle with Design of Experiments Cotton Loom

People love cotton’s comfortable properties and soft feel. Given that it’s the most widely used fiber in clothing, you’re probably wearing some right now. But as everyone who’s ironed a cotton shirt or pants knows, the same properties that make it popular can make cotton-based fabric particularly prone to wrinkling.

That’s why researchers from the National Textile University in Faisalabad, Pakistan, embarked on a study aimed at predicting the best fabric properties for strong, crease-free cotton—and they used Minitab Statistical Software to help.
