Move more products, maintain customer satisfaction, and keep your bottom line in the black. Here’s how you do it and 3 reasons to do it now.  

Naturally, much of understanding anything—and where it might be going—is understanding how it began. 

Today, manufacturers are experiencing five-plus years of innovation on the plant floor in the space of 12 to 18 months. Changes that traditionally would have taken 5 to 10 years of innovation are now being rushed through on these kinds of sub-year timescales. That's quite phenomenal.

Company leaders often talk about the necessity of making continuous improvements. Spotting problems and fixing them could lead to higher output, fewer defects or recalls, and other advantages. Statistical process control (SPC) is one of the methods commonly relied upon to make progress.

As manufacturers look ahead to 2021 and beyond, they know that building resilience into operations is critical. They must achieve multiple goals: superior quality, lower costs, improved yields, efficient processes, and minimized waste. The opportunity for meeting all those goals depends on one foundational requirement: enterprise-wide visibility into data.

In modern manufacturing, “good enough” is no longer enough. To compete and be resilient to market disruptions, organizations must leverage data analytics to gain a competitive advantage.

The global pandemic has affected most manufacturers at an operational level. But many savvy manufacturers are also seeing this as an opportunity to rethink how they approach many aspects of their business with the aim of improving flexibility and agility. We can help.

Today’s manufacturers are quickly learning the value of having their quality data centralized in a single, standardized repository. The move presents numerous benefits—and virtually no drawbacks. Learn what you can gain. 

COVID-19 has forced manufacturers to adapt quickly to support remote and distanced workers. Cloud-based solutions are enabling key personnel to access, analyze, and use essential quality and operational data from anywhere. 

Static product quality reports have become a source of data overload as the volume of data that manufacturers collect—and the number of stakeholders onsite and offsite who need that data—has increased. Dashboards provide simple clarity to users, whatever their role or location.
