Reduce Defects, Scrap, Waste or Give-away
DataNet customers report they reduce manufacturing scrap, waste, defects or rework by up to 50 percent using WinSPC. WinSPC allows shop-floor operators to monitor product and process quality in real-time, so they are better able to detect, correct, and prevent process variation that causes defects. In addition to reducing scrap, our customers tell us that real-time SPC allows them to:
- Improve manufacturing yield
- Increase uptime, capacity and throughput
- Meet FDA, ISO and TS regulatory requirements
- Increase customer satisfaction
- Reduce manufacturing costs
How a $5 billion manufacturer of indoor comfort systems reduced scrap by 50 percent and continues to “hold onto its gain” using WinSPC and Six Sigma
“WinSPC has the Six Sigma tools that I need to make breakthrough improvements. It also ensures that our improvements simply won’t fade away in a couple months. WinSPC keeps our processes under Control and reduces scrap by 50% annually.”

Manufacturing the highest quality refrigerant coils for a variety of cooling systems had traditionally created a costly amount of scrap coils, copper, and aluminum during the manufacturing process, as the quality assurance process was primarily completed after parts had been manufactured. By the time a faulty part was produced, it was too late. To achieve higher product yield and profitability, the company turned to Six Sigma and real-time SPC to build quality control into the manufacturing process.
By using Six Sigma methodologies and incorporating real-time SPC into the manufacturing process, the company was able to diagnose and correct process errors before scrap was produced. The company reported a reduced scrap rate of fifty percent and a return on the software investment within four months.
