-- Compatible with Excel 2007 and Windows Vista
-- Six Sigma DMAIC Templates:
-- Team/Project Charter
-- SIPOC Diagram
-- Data Measurement Plan
-- Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
-- Pugh Concept Selection Matrix
-- Control Plan
-- In addition to Cause & Effect Matrix and Failure Mode and Effects
Analysis.
-- Menu Layout Option - Classical or DMAIC:
-- Use SigmaXL's Classical Menu (default). Tools are grouped by
category.
-- Use the DMAIC Menu. Tools are grouped by the Six Sigma DMAIC
format.
-- Additional Descriptive Statistics:
-- Skewness and Kurtosis with p-values.
-- Control Chart Selection Tool:
-- Simplifies the selection of appropriate control chart based on
data type
-- Includes Data Types and Definitions help tab.
-- P' and U' (Laney) Control Charts:
-- These attribute charts should be used when the subgroup/sample size
is very large (i.e. > 5,000) and assumptions are not met.
-- Use when the control limits do not "look right" being very tight
with many data points appearing to be out-of-control. This problem
is also referred to as "overdispersion." This occurs when the
assumption of a Binomial distribution for defectives or Poisson
distribution for defects is not valid.
-- Improved Multiple Linear Regression:
-- Fit Intercept is optional. If unchecked the model will not fit an
intercept (constant) for the model.
-- This is useful when you have strong a priori reasons to believe
that Y = 0 when the X or X's are equal to 0 and the relationship
is linear. An example would be Y=automobile fuel consumption,
X=automobile weight.
"SigmaXL was designed from the ground up to be a cost-effective, powerful,
but easy to use tool that enables users to measure, analyze, improve and
control their service, transactional, and manufacturing processes. As an
add-in to the already familiar Microsoft Excel, SigmaXL is ideal for Six
Sigma training or use in a college statistics course," said John Noguera,
senior partner, SigmaXL.
An example of user friendliness is the two-sample comparison test. It
automatically tests for normality, equal variance, means, and medians, and
provides a rules-based yellow highlight to aid the user in interpretation
of the output. Low p-values are highlighted in red indicating that the
results are significant.
SigmaXL includes Multiple Histograms, Paretos, Boxplots, Dotplots, Normal
Probability Plots, Scatter Plot Matrix, Multi-Vari, Gage R&R with
Confidence Intervals, Power and Sample Size Calculators, Sigma Level
