- Multivariate SPC, the next step in a comprehensive Analytics Program
Louis
Halvorsen, CTO Northwest Analytical, Inc.
Industrial statisticians
have long known that solving certain difficult problems require the
creation and use of mathematical models that combine multiple process
variables. Once a proper model is created, Multivariate SPC charts can
be used to provide on-going process monitoring. Unfortunately, a number
of barriers have prevented wide-spread use of Multivariate SPC techniques
- among them the lack of analytics tools appropriate for use at the
plant level. NWA's new Multivariate SPC tool combines the
database integration capabilities and intuitive user interface that
Quality Analyst is known for, with powerful multivariate SPC techniques and tight
integration with multivariate modeling software. Hear how multivariate
SPC can move your quality program to a new level.
