Features of Minitab Real-Time SPC
It helps in monitoring the process variables with the use of control charts like I-MR, XBar-R, XBar-S, and I-MR-R/S. These charts help track and analyze the variables to ensure the process is running smoothly. Additionally, there are control charts specifically designed for monitoring attributes, including P, NP, C, U, and Laney P' and U'. These charts provide insights into attribute-related data. Quality tools play a crucial role in assessing the process capability. They include capability analysis for both normal and non-normal distributions, Pareto charts for identifying significant factors, and dashboards that offer a quick overview of current performance and process quality. To stay informed about critical events, alerts and notifications can be set up to receive email or text notifications. These alerts cover scenarios like detecting out-of-control processes, violations of specification or action limits, and even station shutdowns. User portals cater to different roles within the organization, such as operations, engineering, and administration, granting them easy access to Minitab Connect® with a single click, facilitating efficient collaboration and workflow.
