Quality Management

Track and monitor you product and process quality

• Apply product specs and recipes to production and alarm against out-of spec conditions • Automatically or manually capture quality information

– Reason Codes, Research Notes, Recipe, Batch and Production Information

•Capture and summarize manufacturing and quality data in the context of production

•Provides Comprehensive Analytical and Reporting Capabilities

•Generates Quality Alarms and Out of Spec conditions

15


Quality Management

16


Quality Management Values

Increase quality production from enhanced real-time visibility• Reduce rejects / downgrades• Reduce customer complaints / returns• Avoidance of major quality event• Avoidance of product recall

Lower cost of quality• Data collection time reduction• Quality research time reduction

Product / process optimization• Better Products, Less time

, less rework

17


Quality Management Values

18


Production Management

Production Management – improve such as TRACKING and GENEALOGY• Provides insight into how products flow through the plant by tracking production

against specifications, equipment and schedules. • Enables up and downstream traceability• Allows in-process scheduling changes to reduce WIP and overall inventory

Provides Comprehensive Product Genealogy Reporting and Analysis

• Detailed Tracking data for long term analysis

Production Management

20


Production Management Values

Increase Schedule execution and accuracy from integrated product, quality and production tracking systems

• Reduction of overruns / shortages• Reduced inventory costs (raw materials, WIP, finished goods)• Faster, more accurate product changeovers

Detailed, easily accessible tracking and genealogy information

• Limit the scope of recalls and quarantines

• Automated recall / quarantine

• Quick response to customer issues

Production / Process optimization• Timely and Precise Material Staging

21


Production Management Values

22


Efficiency management (OEE)

Track and monitor production and your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)

• Track downtime, waste, production counts, user-defined events

• Automatically or manually associate events with a specific cause on a real-time basis

Analyze equipment effectiveness based on reasons to identify root causes

• Summarize and analyze data in the context of production events for improvements

• Correlate events and reasons to actual production operations (real-time data)

23


Efficiency management (OEE)

24


Efficiency management Values

Better utilize plant assets (people, equipment, materials) through a comprehensive view of overall equipment efficiency

• Get more for less production costs Identify and improve areas that are causing

operational inefficiencies• Minimize scheduled and unscheduled downtime

events• Reduce waste and rework• Improve machine run-time effectiveness

Make data-driven decisions on capital expenditures and process improvement investments

• Gain insight into production operations by shift, equipment or product

• Evaluate operations over any period of time• Link capital expenditures to expected profitability

improvements
