Northwest Analytical's Quality Analyst is the world's leading Windows software for statistical process control (SPC) charting and analysis.

Northwest Analytical's Quality Analyst is the world's leading Windows software for statistical process control (SPC) charting and analysis, helping users to maintain quality, consistency and cost-efficiency by identifying variations in a production line or other process.

Quality Analyst 5.2 introduces many new and enhanced features, including features to assist with 21CFR Part 11 compliance.

This brand-new version of NWA Quality Analyst conforms to the most stringent technical requirements and easily integrates into manufacturing data systems in any industry or business, from parts manufacture to chemicals to food processing.

Its powerful SPC charting and analysis capabilities make it ideal for vendor certification, process improvement and regulatory compliance.

Quality Analyst now uses operating system permissions to protect data and header files from even temporary modification, thereby ensuring the integrity of your data.

This means that Quality Analyst helps users meet the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration's 21CFR Part 11 ruling, widely accepted as an international standard on safeguarding data sets in regulated environments.

A new denormalise function for database connectivity allows users to read from "normalised" database tables that currently require complex SQL queries.

This enables highly effective connectivity, making it easier for users to connect to the dataset they are interested in.

Another new function allows users to create multiple exception report definitions for each dataset.

The reports will list specification, control limit, and/or rule violations for selected variables, and will display the associated SPC chart at the click of a button, making it easier to see the results the user is most interested in.

To enable database connection where the database field names are long, NWA Quality Analyst now allows variable names with up to 32 characters.

Also, the new version offers a more international approach by giving users the choice of full stop or comma as decimal separator.

NWA Quality Analyst is supplied and supported in the UK by Adept Scientific.
