Challenge	An automotive customer set higher expectations for the quality data reporting of its supplier, a mid-sized, Midwest-based plastics company. The supplier’s Quality Manager (QM) now has to find time to select and implement a new real-time SPC system. The QM has to research the marketplace to choose and implement the best real-time SPC software system for his company. However, the QM doesn’t have the time or resources to complete a comprehensive evaluation, and corporate is reluctant to implement a major capital expenditure mid-budget year. The QM needs a way to test and prove the value of a real-time automated SPC system without creating a capital project and without turning his attention from other urgent tasks. Read More

Solution	Hertzler Systems provided a sample installable version of GainSeeker Suite. In just a few WebEx conference calls with Hertzler staff, the QM installed the new software on his laptop and customized a data entry process for a single workstation. He learned how to collect, analyze, and report critical quality metrics and was soon collecting data and responding to real-time alarms and trends. Hertzler’s Lease-to-Purchase plan enabled him to implement a full system without creating a capital expenditure. The QM was able to install the software himself without involving IT, making the process seamless and efficient. Read More Log in to view content
