The case studies presented in this volume illustrate the use of the quality analysis and improvement tools of the Minitab statistical software for Six Sigma projects. After an introduction to Six Sigma quality and the techniques and tools, the case studies follow, which involve health care, manufacturing, airline, fast food, and other sectors, and the tools of confidence interval estimation, hypothesis testing, chi-square analysis, process capability analysis, binary logistic regression, item analysis, cluster analysis, mixture design and analysis of experiments, multivariate analysis, Pareto charts, cause-and-effect diagrams, gage repeatability and reproducibility analysis, Taguchi design and analysis of experiments, factorial design and analysis of experiments, and statistical control charts. Each case study follows the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, and control) or DMADV (define, measure, analyze, design, and verify) approach.
