Statistical process control (SPC) software is a large part of data collection and analysis in the modern manufacturing environment where quality control is a necessity. To understand what is needed from SPC software nowadays, we need to first understand the difference between traditional, on-premise SPC software and an e-commerce SPC solution.

Organizations of all sizes can instantly improve quality with no long-term commitments or software contracts. With Zontec’s e-commerce SPC software, you can instantly begin collecting quality data.  It can be purchased, downloaded and installed within minutes.

While reacting to plant-floor quality problems is necessary, it is simply not enough. Six Sigma and continuous improvement teams require insight into a much bigger quality picture. Go beyond using technology just to monitor quality data at the plant level and elevate it to an enterprise perspective.

You probably have data you didn’t even know you had—data that holds valuable information. You just need a way to reveal that data and uncover what it can do for you. That’s where enterprise visibility comes in.

Modern SPC software solutions provide numerous benefits as they provide visual information in the form of control charts to reveal abnormalities in manufacturing processes.

Operators are on the front line of quality, and their engagement with your quality management software is essential to ensuring the product they are producing is the best it can be.
