What's New in Process Control Software?

Many companies are implementing process control software to lower defects, reduce product variability, increase first-pass rates, improve customer satisfaction and improve manufacturing yield. These systems can also help to reduce scrap, waste and give-away to increase efficiency and profit.

Process control systems help to collect quality data from the shop floor, control and monitor your product quality characteristics, as well as conduct regression and statistical analysis to determine data correlation and the process errors that cause product defects. These modules can present quality data statistics in meaningful charts, graphs and reports for quality analysts, executives, managers, customers and suppliers.

Process control software focuses on controlled processes. Controlled processes are stable processes, and stable processes enable you to predict results. This in turn enables you to prepare achievable plans, meet cost estimates and scheduling commitments and deliver required product functionality and quality with acceptable and reasonable consistency. If a controlled process is not capable of meeting customer requirements or other business objectives, the process must be improved or re-targeted.
