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.

Change is scary, but failing to keep up with the times could be even more detrimental. With so many competitors vying for the same market share, the smallest advantage could make a big difference.

Digital transformation is creating smart factories that collect data from across the supply chain. This data reveals intelligence that drives quality improvement, process optimization, cost reduction, and regulatory compliance on the factory floor.
