Statistical Process Control Software
There is a wide variety of Statistical process control software these days. From simple utilities that can be set up quickly to fully integrated systems that integrate with enterprise systems and manage complex customer certifications. We will focus on flexible SPC systems. These are systems that can be highly configured.
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.
A canned Statistical process control solution will return standard calculations like CPK and standard deviation. Canned systems will also provide run charts and histograms. The areas where canned systems come up short are data management and customer certification. Canned Statistical process control software often contains certifications but they never seem to be in a format that the customer likes. Working with data in a canned system can also be very difficult. An SPC solutions provider that offers configurable systems will generally be able to save your team keying time by setting up your data so that specs that can be applied to multiple products are managed together. A good solutions provider will also usually provide integration services allowing your employees import job information from other enterprise systems.
