It can handle statistical analysis including ANOVA and t-tests and also has “fill-in-the-blank” templates for creating Ishikawa diagrams (or fishbone diagrams,) Gage R&R tests, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA,) and others.[9][11][12][13] Additionally, QI Macros includes a Control Chart Wizard that selects the right control chart based on user data and a Pivot Table Wizard which simplifies the process of analyzing complicated transaction files.
