SPC software aids process improvement
Adept Scientific has a new version of Quality Analyst, the comprehensive statistical process control charting and analysis tool from Northwest Analytical.
Add to those tasks the analysis of trends, forecasting of instrument failures and cost control, and its quality system is understandably under intense scrutiny at all times.
For more than ten years WBS has used Northwest Analytical's (NWA) Quality Analyst, from Adept Scientific, to help monitor its output and product quality.
Quality Analyst is used for regular statistical process control (SPC) as well as forecasting, correlation and setting confidence levels While most input is manual, out-of-tolerance and out-of-specification flags aid operators to confirm the integrity of the data.
Michelle Evans, Head of Quality Assurance Laboratory, said "Our SPC was pretty basic but we're now able to work on splitting out features to see more clearly what is happening and using techniques such as Cpk and regression, measuring the statistical shift away from our ideal values".
"Quality Analyst has given us the motivation to develop processes and staff, allowed all of us to do more, more effectively and continues to function without problems".
NWA Quality Monitor and NWA Quality Analyst are supplied and supported in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Scandinavia and Nordic countries by Adept Scientific. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
