    Skills You Will Build with Minitab

    Hands-On, Analysis-Ready Capabilities

    In Minitab Essentials you will learn to import and manage data, summarise it with graphs and descriptive statistics, run hypothesis tests, build control charts, measure process capability, and apply regression and Gauge R&R, all practised live on realistic quality datasets.

    Navigate Minitab and Manage Data

    Move confidently around the Minitab worksheet, session window and graph window. Import data from Excel, CSV and text files, clean and reshape it, build computed columns with the Calculator, and save organised Minitab projects.

    Summarise Data with Statistics and Graphs

    Produce descriptive statistics and interpret the mean, spread and shape of your data. Create histograms, boxplots, scatter plots, time series plots and Pareto charts to reveal what your process data is really doing.

    Run Hypothesis Tests with Confidence

    Test whether differences are real rather than chance. Perform normality tests, 1-sample, 2-sample and paired t-tests, one-way ANOVA with Tukey comparisons, and chi-square tests, and read the p-values correctly.

    Build and Interpret Control Charts

    Apply statistical process control in Minitab with I-MR, Xbar-R, P and C charts. Distinguish common cause from special cause variation and use Western Electric rules to spot the signals that need action.

    Measure Process Capability

    Quantify how well a process meets specification with Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk. Run capability analysis for normal and non-normal data and present results with the Capability Sixpack for reviews and projects.

    Apply Regression and Gauge R&R

    Model relationships with simple and multiple regression and read the fitted line and residual plots. Run a Gauge R&R study to check whether your measurement system itself can be trusted before you act on the data.
