Minitab vs excel full#
Minitab output is full of graphs (we get six graphs for capability studies).
These analyses if carried out with excel, need some additional effort than a mere click on the mouse. Other statistical analyses – Chi sq, gage R&R, Cp etc can also be done using excel as a spreadsheet (feeding formulae). One ss tool not possible at all with Excel is DOE, but any informed person can do experiment designing using a few tables.Īll excel tools are extremely user friendly (key feature of all Microsoft products) and analytical output generated as another excel worksheet contains only relevant information (no six packs…)Īpplication of these tools could cater to the implied need of those lesser mortals like me (belts or no belts) that are willing to explore the benefits of six-sigma, but proficiency in Minitab as a prerequisite acting as stumbling block.Īlthough Minitab has following (and many more) advantages over Excel:Įxcel does not have all the tools like gauge R&R, Capability analysis etc. These tools are Regression, anova, anova two way with replications, descriptive statistics, T test for means, F test for two variances etc.
Microsoft Excel offers some good statistical analysis tools, (though they need one time activation).
