Manufacturing Quality Management & Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Industries eXcellence™

Manufacturing Quality Management, Quality Assurance & Control Services and Solutions

The ultimate goal of any manufacturing quality solution is to enhance the quality of the final product by monitoring and controlling the process that produces it. The costs of waste, rework and uncaptured defects, as well as the expenses incurred by quality inspections, all have a direct and immediate impact on the bottom line of a business. Engineering Industries eXcellence™ delivers services and solutions for manufacturing quality management, quality assurance and quality control purpose-built to maximize the value of quality within your factories. By digitizing and automating as much measurement data as possible and using statistical analysis to right-size the frequency of human inspections, we can guide your business in optimizing its quality strategy through the use of industry-leading software.

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
