(Minitab: State College, PA) -- Minitab, a leading provider of software for quality improvement, is offering a free webinar to highlight how its process improvement software can support lean Six Sigma projects. “Meet Quality Companion” will be held on May 19, 2011, at 11 a.m. EDT. Space is limited for this free webinar. Register now at www.minitab.com/training/web-events.

Quality Companion was designed by experienced practitioners to help improvement professionals manage lean Six Sigma and other projects in one application.

Companion’s Project Roadmap helps plot a clear course of action to execute improvement projects. Adding Companion’s built-in “soft” tools, such as process mapping, brainstorming, and reporting, creates a detailed plan for the entire project—and the means to complete each step.

The software also includes more than 100 form templates, including the cause and effect (C&E) matrix, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and project charter, all of which are easily customized to fit any organization.
