Still using Excel to monitor SPC?
Any Quality Control manager can relate to the difficulty of ensuring high quality products while using paper records or Excel spreadsheets. Yet hundreds of companies are using these outdated methods to attempt to monitor quality. Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a crucial aspect in the manufacturing business. The level of a product’s quality differentiates one manufacturer’s product from another’s, allowing American companies to compete with cheap foreign imports. 
Highly configurable systems are outpacing canned systems and providing a path for innovation. Advancements in browser based technology are enabling agile deployment strategies.
Manufacturing software helps manufacturers improve production performance by providing visable control and reporting across the enterprise.
To truly realize and certify your products’ quality, a sophisticated SPC system is needed. The best systems include tailored reports that display the most pertinent information based on your goals. Custom certifications, Pareto Charts, and Histograms are just a few functions that should be part of a Quality system. Browser-based systems allow you to monitor several facilities from a central location. A thin-client system will give your corporate headquarters a real-time overview of what is transpiring at all your locations, making such a system perfect for a company with multiple locations or a company with future expansion plans. Only a tailorable software can please each individual plant while providing a high-level valid comparison for the company’s executives.
