Visual Six Sigma
Ready to spend less time learning statistical theory and more time solving problems? Want to avoid burn-out and resistance? Seeking quick success for prospective Black Belts?
In the real world, with volumes upon volumes of real data, text book statistical tools used in traditional Six Sigma approaches can quickly become useless. That’s why JMP for Visual Six Sigma is the next step in the natural evolution of process and product improvement programs.
Whether your Six Sigma programs are still young or fairly mature, you need the best tools possible to achieve results. Using JMP for Visual Six Sigma, you can literally “see” the important patterns of variation that have occurred, no matter how many Xs and Ys you have. You can then use interactive, exploratory data mining and other techniques to suggest the “hot” Xs that are really driving your Ys, perhaps identifying better operating conditions for your process from the data you already have.
JMP’s comprehensive statistics and interactivity make it the statistical software of choice for consultants and companies using Six Sigma. JMP supports the DMAIC process with software usable for Green Belts through Master Black Belts. Coupled with other SAS solutions for Business Intelligence and Performance Management, JMP gives C-level executives and Six Sigma Champions a total environment for identifying, implementing and sustaining quality improvements.
Of particular value to organizations embracing Six Sigma are JMP’s custom design capabilities (DOE) that go beyond textbook experiments to let you describe the complex problems that pose major challenges to quality improvement and bottom-line savings.
JMP displays graphs and statistics in the same window, and identifies outliers that distort results or reveal important patterns.
The Partition Platform sifts through all possible factors to suggest the most important ones for further inquiry and possible process interventions.
Unique custom DOE lets you build fully customized designs based on the resources you want to commit to the experiment so you can verify your assumptions about your process or how to improve it.
Use JMP’s DMAIC menu or create your own.
SPC charts monitor the process to assure it stays within limits. Organize and package results into familiar five- and six-pack views that give familiar key metrics in one window.

JMP offers statistics and interactivity for all levels of Six Sigma practitioners. But only JMP, through its custom DOE tools, provides the critical capability to model the real, complex problems that stand in the way of maximum productivity. Other software packages may be OK for simple projects. But for projects and company wide deployment where real dollar savings are achieved using Six Sigma, JMP is essential.
