Controlling production quality is very important for manufacturers. Keeping quality consistent and improving quality translates to loyal customers and a better bottom line. If you are tracking quality with a paper trail, Excel spreadsheets, or a cumbersome system you are missing opportunities to produce a better quality product. To truly understand and manipulate product quality, you need a quality control system.

Some benefits of a high-end Quality Control system include:

• Ability to generate custom certificates of analysis for your clients
• Capability to compare quality at different departments, machines, locations, employees, etc. to pinpoint quality issues.
• Cloud software allows for use on hand-held devices such as smart phones.
• Real-time alerts, such as text messages, e-mails, paging, etc.) to inform key supervisors of quality issues
• X-Bar and R Charts, X-Bar and S Charts, Histograms, Paretos, and other graphics for an quick view of your data.

The real benefit of an advanced quality control system is the ability to modify it to fit your environment. Tailored software not only conforms to the nuiances within your processes, if allows for continuous improvement over time. Most quality control systems force companies to conform to “best practices” (which rarely work in the real world) or a random structural design that programmers (who know nothing about your company,) came up with in order to simply the system. Configured software is modified to meet your needs, resulting in a user-friendly, adaptive interface.
