The Quality Sourcebook’s SPC Software Guidefeatures information on companies that providesoftware for a wide range of applications, includingstatistical process control, problem solving,statistical analysis, design of experiments, gage
R&R and related products. For more information on any of theproducts or services listed in this section, contact the companiesdirectly. Please be sure to mention you saw their listings in QualityDigest’s 2000 Quality Sourcebook!
Software DirectorySPC Software Matrix ........................................................... 110
This matrix of SPC software manufacturers contains analphabetical listing of more than 100 software companies anddistributors and nearly 275 software products. Product attributesare listed across from the products under broad categories forstatistical process control, with each of these categoriessubdivided into specific product functions.
SPC Software Directory ....................................................... 123This directory of SPC software manufacturers includes the
company name, address, phone and fax numbers, Web address,and a brief description of the software company’s products orservices. (Please note that not all companies provided us withdescriptions.)
As with all Quality Digest guides, the SPC Software Guide is inno way meant to endorse or exclude a particular organization.Rather, it’s meant to be used as the starting point in the data-gathering process. Readers are encouraged to contact thecompanies directly for more information and to ask for—andcheck—references.
We appreciate any feedback you have on our SPC Software Guide.If you have any suggestions for how we can improve this guidefor next year, e-mail them to sourcebook@qualitydigest.com.
SPC Software 2000 Quality Sourcebook
GlossaryANOVA—Analysis of variance. For regression analysis, a table examining
the hypothesis that the variation explained by the entire regression is zero.
Capability analysis—studies the ability of a process to meet established
requirements. Cp relates the spread of the process to the specification
width without regard to the process center. Cpk takes into account the
location of the process average. For a statistically in control process that is
normally distributed, Cpk can be used to estimate the expected percent
of defective material.
Cause-and-effect diagram—also known as a fishbone diagram. Used to
explore the possible root causes of a problem.
Closed-loop control—some software has the capability to control a process
based on the SPC analysis. In order for this to work effectively, the system
must be able read real-time data from gages, scales, CMMs and other
measurement tools and provide control via programmable logic controllers
and the like.
DOE—Design of experiments. A methodology for designing experiments
to test the effect of multiple process parameters on a given process’s
outcome. The methodology allows for multiple factors to be tested during
one experimental run. There are several techniques, including Taguchi,
fractional factorial and Plackett-Burman.
Non-normal distributions—the capability of a software to handle non-
normal distributions in order to calculate such measures as Cpk.
Operational characteristics (OC) curve—for a given sampling plan, a
graph that displays the probability of accepting the lot as a function of the
quality of the lot or process.
Pareto chart—A combination histogram/cumulative line chart that helps
identify causes that have the greatest impact on a problem.
Regression analysis—models the relationship between one or more
independent variables and a dependent variable.
Scatter diagram—an x-y chart that measures the relationship between
two sets of variables. If there is correlation between the variables, the points
will be grouped around a line; otherwise, the points will be randomly
distributed.
