Looking for some alternatives to minitab. I use it in all my training and have it rolled it into my material. I am even a re-seller, but frankly they seem to feel there “it” in the market and are a bit difficult to work with. Please don’t get me wrong, their software is “great” but I think it smart that I consider other alternatives.and please don’t say Excel.

I realize you can do alot of the Stats in excel but many of the tests are difficult to perform and harder even to teach and explain to a student. Any ideas or suggestions? If you name a software could you also include a little about why you named it?
I have used the SPC XL successfully with a less sophisticated audience. It seems to be able to do about 75-80% of what you can do with Miniat least what you really need on a day to day basis. Plus most folks are pretty comfortable with an Excel platform. Possibly John Smith can share his experiences with SPC XL and the other platforms mentioned.
Mini is still pretty good and I guess their attitude and flexibility might vary as a function of the size of the customer. Before jumping into SPC XL be sure to double check whether you want it installed on individual computers or run off of a central server. We used it as an on demand program run from a central server. Not quite as easy as the desktop application.
Hehe – well, I guess I would go with the process guy myself, but then well nevermind. Your point about getting into trouble well taken! I guess given my druthers, I’d go looking for the sharp change agent. If the BB can make the pitch well, pretty much all the other skills he can hire out, so to speak. Kind of the Ronald Regan school of Six Sigma.

It just seems like the basic stats would be part of any Black Belt curriculum, although if a program is just starting up, and there is no body of expertise to rely on, it could get difficult. Of course, without the support, then th BB really is swaying in the breeze when it comes to the math. I’m a statistician, and I COMPLETELY agree with you. I was involved with the first generation Black Belt program at a fairly large communication company (before it moved to the GE-clone program), and that was its main objective – take an expert in a particular area, teach him/her new skills (stats, quality tools, soft skills, change management, etc, ) so that these skill can be applied to their area of expertise. Today we are taking people, say, from finance, teaching them BB skills, and then having them work to improve a manufacturing or design problem. It seems crazy.
