MINITAB Vs MAXIQ
Maxi-Q is a new suite of charting tools, built from the ground up. It is MAXImized for Quality. Maxi-Q has
no compromises and no excess baggage. It is full featured and easy to use by anyone, from the front
line, to quality managers, to executives. Maxi-Q is specifically designed for Quality.
Quality is critical at the front line. A free product puts Quality into the hands of ALL employees.
MOBILES
Maxi-Q also runs on both PC and mobiles, making it perfect for Quality at the front line.
LATEST TECHNOLOGY
Maxi-Q uses the latest technology such as responsive displays which automatically rescale as the screen
window size changes, while axis labels auto rotate and auto filter.
Maxi-Q is dynamic, that is, changes are displayed as they happen.
Maxi-Q is animated, so that it is easy to see what new data is doing to charts.
Maxi-Q charts are interactive.
NO EXCEL
Maxi-Q does NOT use Excel. Maxi-Q is stand alone. You never have to worry about keeping up with new
versions of Excel. Excel macros do not run on mobiles.
MINITAB NONSENSE
Minitab may be useful to some statistics graduates but in the Quality arena it is antiquated, misleading,
outrageously expensive, and promotes utter nonsense: “assume a 1.5 sigma shift”. You should NEVER
“assume a 1.5 sigma shift”. The 1.5 sigma shift was invented by self-confessed con man Harry, a school
teacher. Harry based this trash on the height of a stack of discs.
2. You should never normalize data nor check for normality. XmR works for any data distribution. Dr
Wheeler: “Normality and the Process Behavior Chart”
3. You should never use detection rules other than points outside control limits. Using additional rules
increase false alarms, and give no benefit. Dr Wheeler: https://lnkd.in/gqi3f86R
4. You should never draw distributions over a histogram because you never know the distribution for a
process. Dr Wheeler: “Normality and the Process Behavior Chart”
SUMMARY
Maxi-Q is maximized for QUALITY. It the most powerful, accurate, modern toolset available. It is FREE
and makes a mockery of commercial competitors.
