Minitab Engage

Minitab Engage stands as a unique solution exclusively developed to assist organizations in constructing improvement and innovation programs. It facilitates the execution of these programs by providing problem-solving tools and leveraging established project management methodologies. Additionally, Minitab Engage enables real-time tracking of essential performance metrics, allowing organizations to showcase return on investment (ROI) effectively.

Minitab Engage helps to ideate

Promote the development of exceptional ideas and foster active participation from your employees by extending an invitation to everyone in your organization to submit their ideas at any time and in any place, utilizing a highly adaptable idea form. These forms prompt submitters to assess their ideas based on criteria that hold significance for your organization, such as their alignment with key business objectives. Furthermore, they automatically calculate weighted ratings for benefits, effort, and risks, providing you with comprehensive information to assess and prioritize emerging opportunities for innovation and enhancement.

Minitab Engage helps to evaluate

Simplify the process of evaluating which ideas progress into projects by implementing a more efficient system. Establish steering committees to ensure that the right individuals are notified, preventing important action items from getting lost amidst a flood of Friday afternoon emails. Teams have the option to begin with proven methodologies such as DMAIC, DFSS, Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA), and Kaizen Events, or create their own customized approaches. Empower your team with a comprehensive set of resources that enable them to assess and develop plans to address challenges and seize new opportunities. Minitab Engage offers a range of valuable tools for brainstorming and diagramming, including mind maps, fishbone diagrams, idea maps, and affinity diagrams.

Minitab Engage helps to execute

Efficiently navigate each stage of your organizational journey using the Minitab Engage project manager, equipped with a comprehensive array of visual tools and forms. These resources facilitate the seamless execution of projects and successful commercialization of innovations throughout your entire organization. Benefit from tools such as root cause analysis, Five Whys, SIPOC, project charters, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to support your endeavors. Ensure project progress by receiving timely email alerts that inform team members about new assignments, project approvals, crucial phase reviews, and upcoming milestones. Moreover, rest assured knowing that projects are automatically backed up, preventing the need for re-work or the loss of valuable insights. Team members can easily transfer output from Minitab Statistical Software to Minitab Engage or seamlessly embed Minitab files within their Engage roadmap.
