The results of your analysis in PPM and Minitab® can be integrated into Performance Dashboard. Particularly in the control phase, the automatic measurement of data that this brings ensures that the improvements resulting from the Six Sigma project can be continuously verified, e.g., by calling up current control charts to evaluate the process. This allows the Six Sigma results to be communicated throughout the company.
The procedure for integrating the calculated Cpk measure into Performance Dashboard is as follows.
Prerequisite
You have defined a favorite for the Minitab® Cpk measure as described in chapter Process capability analysis and saved it in the Demo path Six Sigma favorites folder.
Procedure
Example
runppmminitab -user system -password manager -client umg -favoritefolder "\Demo Path SixSigma"
(See chapter Run Minitab® using the command line)
See chapter Use a Minitab® measure in PPM.
The Minitab® measure and the selected evaluation graphics will then be available for displaying in Performance Dashboard.
For continuous monitoring, you should carry out steps 1. to 3. described here at regular intervals and create the required current evaluation graphics.
When you query evaluations in Performance Dashboard, the corresponding measure values and graphics are automatically updated and displayed.
Example: Minitab® evaluations in Performance Dashboard
