An SPC system should be intuitive and easy-to-use, otherwise end users will not be inclined to utilize its full capabilities (regardless of how powerful its arsenal of SPC analyses might be!). The system administration tools in STATISTICA Enterprise/QC allow you to determine how users will view the production process. You can view information organized by product, process, department, report type, etc. STATISTICA Enterprise/QC is flexible, with no limits on how this information is structured. Instant system-wide changes can be implemented from any location depending only on system access privileges.
An SPC system designed for enterprise-wide use should accommodate the needs of many different types of users. From the straightforward data entry screens for shop-floor operators to the powerful analytic query-building interfaces for QC engineers, the system adapts for different user permissions and responsibilities. As a result, STATISTICA Enterprise/QC may look different for each user.
All measurements and chart/report definitions are stored in the STATISTICA Enterprise/QC database. From the desktop, an engineer can view the latest data from a set of processes in QC charts as soon as new data are collected. Predefined sets of charts or reports are generated automatically with the press of a button.
For its numerical and graphical processing, STATISTICA Enterprise/QC utilizes the state-of-the-art algorithms from STATISTICA, an industry-leader in SPC analyses. STATISTICA has been providing peerless SPC solutions for many years and has been ranked the highest in every comparative review in which it was featured since its first release. Read highlights of reviews of STATISTICA.
While other vendors offer SPC programs that can retrieve data from databases, as of now, no other SPC solution offers the true enterprise system integration and the full functionality of STATISTICA Enterprise/QC.
STATISTICA Enterprise/QC combines the highest performance system integration technology with unmatched customizability and scalability implemented in a way that allows tailoring the system to specific needs, adjusting and expanding it using simple self-explanatory wizards. STATISTICA Enterprise/QC can handle practically unlimited amounts of data, integrate with existing database management systems and data warehouses of practically any complexity to form seamlessly connected information delivery and decision support systems of unmatched power and ease of use.
In addition to achieving unprecedented success in formal reviews, both STATISTICA Enterprise/QC and STATISTICA have received positive recognition from users. Read published comments from STATISTICA Enterprise/QC users and STATISTICA users.
Different users in an organization have different needs. STATISTICA Enterprise/QC allows the system administrator to determine how different users will view the production process. STATISTICA Enterprise/QC features concise report selection menus, more advanced analytical tools, and a simple user interface for all types of users.
STATISTICA Enterprise/QC offers unmatched analytic, exploratory, and reporting power through its fully integrated access to all data analysis tools of STATISTICA (the most comprehensive data analysis, graphics, reporting, and application development system). Depending on the specific configuration, different components of the STATISTICA line of data analysis tools can be made available to different categories of STATISTICA Enterprise/QC users. Many of those tools are also available in single-user versions. These tools include the largest selection of DOE (design of experiments), industrial process analysis, customizable QC charts, modeling, exploratory, data mining and many other knowledge discovery tools (including the most comprehensive implementations of such specialized methods as neural networks and power analysis available on the market). Recorded or custom macros written in STATISTICA can be easily deployed in STATISTICA Enterprise analysis configurations. With STATISTICA's integration with R, these scripts too are easily deployed on a schedule or on demand.
STATISTICA Enterprise/QC features state-of-the-art connectivity options that allow data acquisition from virtually any external database (data warehouses, data marts, multi-dimensional databases, etc.).
How is your data collected? Do your operators enter in SPC data by keyboard? Or do you use gages or automated data collectors?
Would you like to collect measurements one at a time or simultaneously?
STATISTICA Enterprise/QC includes very flexible interfaces that allow you to collect data in a variety of ways. Whether you collect data by keyboard or an automated data collector, the data is fed directly into the STATISTICA Enterprise/QC system via a database or data warehouse without any operator data entry dialogs. This newly collected information can be viewed, queried, and used in reports that are automatically generated (see STATISTICA Enterprise Reports).
Data collection can be variable or attribute in nature and can be collected piecewise (all measurements for a piece or part are collected before moving on to the next part) or characteristic-wise (allows you to enter data for each characteristic). Sample-wide data entry allows an entire sample to be collected in one screen.
How much more efficient could you be if you were able to post up-to-date reports, charts, and tables on the Internet automatically, virtually in real-time, and without knowledge of HTML or Java programming languages?
Do you need a secure information delivery system where your colleagues and customers, even those without STATISTICA Enterprise/QC, can view this important information via the Internet?
STATISTICA Enterprise/QC offers options for Web-enablement with WebSTATISTICA Enterprise/QC (via WebSTATISTICA Server).
WebSTATISTICA Enterprise/QC (via WebSTATISTICA Server) adds full Internet enablement to STATISTICA Enterprise/QC, including the ability to interactively run STATISTICA Enterprise/QC from a Web browser. It enables users to easily and quickly access data and powerful analytical tools from virtually any computer in the world as long as it is connected to the Web. The product is provided with an Internet browser-based user interfaces (in the form of extremely simple to navigate and easy-to-use dialogs) allowing users to specify analyses and review results using an Internet browser. Also, tools are provided to customize these dialogs and easily set up new, customized user interfaces or to add new functions. For example, a simple dialog with only three buttons can appear in the browser, where pressing each of the buttons will run a series of analyses and generate a detailed report.
Do you need reports automatically generated according to your specifications?
The STATISTICA Enterprise/QC includes a powerful report generation tool. You can create highly customized reports - formatted the way that you want, created at times that you choose, with output generated according to your specifications.
STATISTICA Enterprise/QC includes a suite of easy-to-use administration tools. They provide you with the power to define who can use the system, the permissions of users, the measurements collected, how they are collected, how they are analyzed, etc. These tools contribute to the flexibility and scalability of the system. For example, when you decide to begin data collection on another production line, it is as simple as making the necessary additions to the system with the administration tools. Unlike other SPC packages, STATISTICA Enterprise/QC is centrally managed for the entire enterprise. Changes made to the system through the administration tools are immediately reflected on all workstations.
