| |  | | Features |  | Investigate the Factors that Affect your Bottom Line
Many factors can influence the quality of a product or service. But sometimes the interaction of those factors can too, even when they don't affect it separately. Minitab Statistical Software's Line Plot is a powerful tool you can use to help you visualise interactions between your factors and evaluate differences in response profiles.
Learn how by reading Minitab's Line Plot
| With just a few groups...
The focus is on finding interaction effects. Here, a paint company looking to improve the performance of its products begins its investigation with a line plot that finds a strong interaction between spray paint formulation and the pressure at which it's applied.

| Letters to the Editor - voice your views | | | "After being on the training course and using the evaluation version of Minitab I finally managed to persuade my boss to order version 15 and have had great success with it. As a supplier to the automotive industry we need to be able to prove the reliability and integrity of our systems and processes and Minitab's suite of functions has been perfect for the job so far. I've also been in touch with Minitab's Technical Support service and have been very impressed with their prompt responses."
