Automated SPC reduces inspection costs

Article Abstract:

Woburn, MA-based precision assemblies and components manufacturer Tecomet has expanded the use of automating control processes to help its customers reduce incoming inspection costs. The company started using CimWorks GageTalker's VisualSPC, an automated statistical-process control software, to help it become more efficient in the production of its product. However, the company discovered that it can be a great value-added customer service as it can provide proof of the quality of its process controls to potential customers.
