What is Manufacturing Quality Control?

Well-designed quality control systems enable the effective management of the entire manufacturing process from lab to label, identifying issues in real time and predicting problems before they occur. Our solutions adhere to all industry-specific and international compliance standards and provide real-time feedback to management, helping them react sooner to issues that arise during production.

Through the combination of an integrated set of software modules for at-line/in-line testing, Electronic Work Instructions (EWI), electronic workflow management, corrective actions, alarms, Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), our comprehensive offering helps companies achieve consistency in quality and product integrity throughout the manufacturing lifecycle. Key functionalities enable you to:

• Enforce mandatory checks and routine calculations to ensure complete accountability of required tests/procedures
• Identify violations and trigger immediate corrective action workflows
• Ensure documentation is complete with electronic signatures captured when required
• Notify auditors, supervisors and other personnel of critical limit deviations and regulatory violations
• Enforce approval process (e.g. HACCP, label compliance, weights) to ensure all checks have been done properly before product is released
• Track and trace all quality and defect information, providing users access to complete genealogy records and process logs
• Utilize different data charts and analytical tools (e.g. Pareto, Xbar, Capability Analysis, Trend Charts)
• Utilize tools for robust and flexible quality data acquisition (e.g. manual entry, gage integration, automated data sources, external data sources

What is Statistical Process Control (SPC)?

Process variation is the enemy of a manufacturing organization. It drives up production costs and increases the risk of defective units. Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods can be used to combat process variation by enabling companies to monitor real-time production processes and ensuring that they are operating at maximum potential while minimizing waste. Driven by complex mathematical formulas, our digital SPC solutions can provide your manufacturing operations essential functionalities including:

• Process trends using average, range, standard deviation, moving average and moving range charts
• Enable defect analysis through P, NP, C, U and Pareto charts
• Variable and defect data acquisition
• Automatic, semi-automatic, manual and external data acquisition
• Real-time index monitoring
• Control rule alarms and corrective action triggering
• Standard Overall Labor Effectiveness (OLE) for process control
• Historical reporting
• Contextualize data with orders, materials and lines
