Practical Statistical Analysis with Minitab for Quality Teams

Quality teams often collect plenty of data but lack the confidence to turn it into decisions. This hands on course teaches how to use Minitab to summarise data, test differences, and study process capability without needing a statistics degree. Delegates work through realistic African manufacturing and service datasets so they can bring reliable analysis back to their own improvement projects.

What you will be able to do

  • Import, organise, and clean data ready for analysis in Minitab.
  • Produce and interpret graphical summaries such as histograms and box plots.
  • Run basic hypothesis tests to compare processes or before and after results.
  • Assess process capability and interpret capability indices correctly.
  • Build simple control charts to monitor process stability.
  • Present statistical findings clearly to non technical decision makers.
