Minitab is a statistics package developed at the Pennsylvania State University by researchers Barbara F. Ryan, Thomas A. Ryan, Jr., and Brian L. Joiner in 1972.

Minitab began as a light version of OMNITAB, a statistical analysis program by NIST; the documentation for OMNITAB was published 1986, and there has been no significant development since then.[2]

Minitab is distributed by Minitab Inc, a privately owned company headquartered in State College, Pennsylvania.

Today, Minitab is often used in conjunction with the implementation of six sigma, CMMI and other statistics-based process improvement methods.

Minitab Inc. produces two other products that complement Minitab:[3]

  • Quality Trainer, an eLearning package that teaches statistical tools and concepts in the context of quality improvement that integrates with Minitab 17 to simultaneously develop the user's statistical knowledge and ability to use the Minitab software
  • Quality Companion 3, an integrated tool for managing Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing projects that allows Minitab data to be combined with project management and governance tools and documents.
