Supports Six Sigma DMAIC Methodology
Black Belt XL includes all the tools within our popular Green Belt XL software, as well as a full set of experimental designs (DOE) and statistical analysis tools.
Define Stage
Measure Stage
Analyze Stage
  • Cause & Effect Diagrams to brainstorm potential causes of variation.
  • Box and Whisker Charts to compare location and spread of factors.
  • Scatter Diagrams with Regression Analysis to analyze sources of variation, determine process drivers, and analyze residuals.
  • Control Charts (see below) with Histograms and Goodness of Fit to analyze residuals.
  • Designed Experiments to identify root causes and process drivers..
  • Normal Probability Plots to verify assumptions of Normality.
Improve Stage
  • Response Surface design and analysis to optimize a process.
  • Matrix Diagrams as used in QFD to determine process settings to satisfy customer requirements.
Control Stage
  • Control Charts (see below) to establish process stability, with Process Capability Analysis to measure improved performance.
  • Gage R & R with Repeatability and Reproducibility Control Charts to verify Measurement Systems' capabilities for new process.


Key Features
  • Installs an icon on your Excel toolbar, and options on your Tools menu, for quick access.
  • Compiled as a COM Add-In, instead of a simple VBA macro, for fast, secure and fully integrated features within Excel.
  • Generates charts with only a few mouse clicks using your Excel data.
  • Employs trusted algorithms used by thousands for more than 20 years.
  • Creates graphically-appealing charts, with such features as background, display and grid colors; customizable titles, axis labeling and axis scaling; control charts with or without histograms; choice of statistics to display.
  • Copy professional-looking analyses to MS Word or PowerPoint for reports, or convert charts to JPEG images for Web posting. Send charts to anyone via email.
  • Advanced analysis features, including stepped control limits to indicate SPC process shifts; automatic evaluation of Run Test rules; auto drop of out of control subgroups; non-normal curve-fitting and capability analysis; automatic refresh of analysis for new data.
  • Perhaps the widest set of designs available in a commercial package, while not requiring extensive knowledge of design standards, limitations, or capabilities. Simply enter the factors believed to influence the process, and the levels to run them. Each factor can have different levels; linear and quadratic interactions may be incorporated. A selection of the feasible designs will be displayed, and the most efficient design recommended!
  • Several designs can be created for each project, so comparing design choices is easy. Blocking variables may be defined; runs may be conveniently added, replicated, and deleted; design replicates chosen with the click of the mouse! An audit function will check for undesired confounding when designs have been edited.
  • Affordable for everyone at your facility with our flexible Multiple License Pricing. Site licenses also available.
