Manufacturing data come from many sources and in many formats. A software solution can link these fragmented data sources and is a key aid in producing a higher quality product.

Changing from paper-based data collection to an electronic system can feel overwhelming for staff and management alike. Develop a plan and take it one step at a time.

The key to adapting successfully is not whether you use SPC-based quality management solutions, but how you get the most out of them as we move further into the 21st century.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions are everywhere in our lives. What advantages does a cloud-based software solution bring to manufacturing quality management?

Recalls happen, even at facilities known for their airtight quality measures. That’s why a modern SPC software with complete traceability from raw materials to finished goods is indispensable to quality engineers who thrive in the digital age.

A modern, SPC-driven quality management software solution can help you capitalize on advances in automation, IIoT, and cloud computing.

When a large food products manufacturer ran an onsite assessment to evaluate potential savings, the results provided insights to help them reduce variance, waste, and raw material costs.

Modern SPC is about more than shop floor data collection and control charts. Today, SPC is about improving quality, reducing costs, and enhancing a company’s competitive position.

Walter A. Shewart, often referred to as the “father” of statistical process control, introduced the world to SPC and his creation of the control chart in the late 1920s. Of course, SPC has appreciably evolved since then, with real-time data analytics and Cloud-based software becoming an integral part of the package.

Manual data collection and analysis places a tremendous burden on manufacturing resources and limits their ability to adapt and innovate. Fortunately, modern data management solutions offer a path to greater automation and efficiency.
