Description:
Every company wants to increase profitability. Most companies realize that improving product quality will increase customer satisfaction and reduce costs. Which leads to higher customer retention rates, decreased manufacturing costs and higher profitability. For decades Quality Gurus have instructed companies to implement SPC, Lean Manufacturing and now Six Sigma. Which are great ways to improve the bottom-line.
Now companies are looking at their quality investments and asking, "Where are the benefits? We are using SPC and Lean Manufacturing Tools, but sales are down, profits are down and we may need to lay off employees."
There's a fundamental question we ask every company. "How many bad parts do you make, before you know you are making bad parts"?
There is a quantum difference between Real-Time SPC and "after-the-fact" SPC. Real-time SPC allows operators and managers to make real-time decisions, to prevent production of bad parts. Using real-time SPC they can take preventive actions, to insure the process stays in control. When the process remains in control and the process parameters are well within the customer's specifications, then you can reap the full benefits of SPC.
