NWA Quality Analyst

What's New in Version 6.1

Why Update to NWA Quality Analyst 6.1?

Many of the improvements in Version 6.1 are aimed at meeting the expanding needs of users engaged in process-improvement programs such as Six Sigma or CAPA. You will benefit from improved drill-down and chart annotation in the Graphics Viewer, inclusion of text reports in grouped output, and the addition of Assignable Cause/Corrective Action capability. Other key improvements address the growing need to integrate SPC and other quality-related programs with plant-level and enterprise manufacturing information systems. Version 6.1 addresses these needs with improved database connectivity setup (particularly for denormalizing data tables), the ability to read specifications from external databases, automatic synchronization of SPC information with records in external databases, and analytical output in XML.

More Powerful Presentation of Chart Data

  • New Graphics Viewer
    It is now easier to present information within your charts so you can more clearly illustrate changes in your processes. The Graphics Viewer includes unlimited data points on SPC charts, text output in groups, the ability to save groups as plot files, user-defined plotting symbols, improved callouts, direct editing of headers and footers, better font and color control, and point-and-click zoom.
  • Rainbow charts
    Configurable green/yellow/red zone options for SPC charts.
  • More graphic formats
    Creates JPG, PNG, and BMP files to enable mixed text and graphics reporting that is easily exported to enterprise applications such as ERP, MES, and LIMS.

Assignable Cause / Corrective Action

You can now select assignable causes and corrective actions from predefined lists or attach ad hoc comments to any data point, supporting quality initiatives and compliance programs such as Six Sigma, ISO 9000, and the FDA’s CAPA.

Improved Drill-Down to Underlying Data

View descriptive information, rule violations, comments, and assignable cause/corrective action for any data point with a single mouse-click.

XML Graphics and Parameter Files

All configuration, parameter, and output files use XML formats, simplifying integration with enterprise applications such as ERP, MES, and LIMS.

Automatic Specification Lookup

NWA Quality Analyst can now read specifications from external databases, which lets you centralize the management of specifications and improve integration with enterprise applications.

SPC Parameters Synchronized with Databases

Automatically links comments, Assignable Cause/Corrective Action, SPC limits, and tagged data to the appropriate record in external databases.

Other Enhancements

  • Full support for Universal Naming Convention (UNC) and long path names - Eliminates the need for mapped drives and simplifies setup in any network environment.
  • Improved Run Charts - Plot up to eight variables and full x-axis labeling for improved multivariable graphing.
  • Improved database denormalization - Helps with the complex task of denormalization during database connectivity.
  • Improved numeric formatting - Specifications maintain significant digits and you have more control over the format of statistical results.
  • Data set limit increased to 500 columns - Larger data sets better support data-rich environments such as multicavity injection molding, electronic assembly, and multiplant studies.
  • Supports Unicode (double-byte text) - Internationalized text and symbol handling now supports Asian characters and other non-ASCII languages in data, chart labels, and text-based reports.
  • Stability analysis regression - Supports food and drug stability studies.

Product Reviews

"The software makes it easy to interpret the data. When we spot a trend that's hugging the upper or lower end of our tolerances, we can identify the problem and work with the operator on a solution...Most people didn't like maths in school, and when they hear the word 'statistic' they tune out. But the software helps employees overcome any uneasiness. We input the measurements and the program produces the chart; there are no complex statistical formulas to compute."
Steve Alloway, Specification Superintendent, Excel Corp.'s pork plant in Beardstown

NWA Quality Analyst has improved our potential for a continual cycle of improvement and quality has already markedly improved...SPC using NWA Quality Analyst [is] very flexible and a great improvement over manual methods.
Alex Phipps, Manager of Quality Monitoring, National Blood Service (Bristol Centre)
