Quality KPIs, SPC and laboratory reporting for production and laboratory
When a measurement series stands out, quality management and the laboratory must be able to see which batch, test method and unit underlie it. A measured value corrected afterwards shows how the change can be traced in the quality report.

For manufacturing, AssurX cites dashboards and analyses on internal quality, supplier performance and open corrective actions. This allows different areas of responsibility to be viewed in one overview. For an escalation, in addition to the age of the case, it should also be visible who has to make the next decision and what evidence is still missing for it.
Assessment: Manufacturers with several quality-related action processes.
Suitable tasks

Assessment: Mechanical engineering and commissioning with standardised test procedures.
Benchling Insights analyses experimental and operational data within the platform. Users can create dashboards and run SQL queries. The starting point is, for example, a series of experiments with shared sample attributes. Whether the results are actually comparable depends on identical units, experimental conditions and documented analysis steps.
Assessment: Biotechnology development with regularly evaluated experiment series.
Suitable tasks

How are changed protocols and analysis parameters taken into account in the comparison?
With Success.Net, quality targets can be defined, characteristic values recorded and results prepared for different recipients. For a management report, the assignment of the actual value to the agreed target is decisive. An example with a changed calculation rule shows whether the comparison over time remains reliable from a specialist point of view.
Assessment: Quality management with target agreements per process.
DataLyzer Qualis Analytics creates control charts, histograms and Pareto analyses from selected process data. Data points can be included or excluded based on attributes. For a line comparison, the quality manager should therefore document which filters were active and whether a deviating data point was removed because of a documented special case.
Assessment: Manufacturing quality with statistical analysis of process characteristics.
Suitable tasks
Control charts; Pareto analysis; comparison of process characteristics

Greenlight Guru describes dashboards for, among other things, open quality events, training completion and development milestones. For medical technology teams, a product change lends itself as a model case. This makes visible which quality tasks are still open and whether the training status relates to exactly the approved version.
Assessment: Medical device manufacturers with product-related quality control.

Can KPIs be narrowed down to the product and document version concerned?
GainSeeker combines statistical process monitoring and customisable dashboards for different responsible persons. An operator needs a different view of a running measurement series than plant management needs of recurring quality problems. In the test, both roles should be able to trace the same variance from the first indication to the underlying process.
Assessment: Manufacturing companies with a central and workstation-level quality view.
qs-STAT statistically analyses production-related quality data and determines process capability indices. For interpretation, the selection of suitable measurement series is more important than simply outputting a single Cpk value. The test should therefore also consider a process with changing conditions, whose data must be assessed separately before a joint calculation.
Assessment: Quality engineers with requirements for traceable capability evidence.
Suitable tasks
Process capability; statistical quality analysis; process qualification

Ideagen describes bringing together quality data from several sites in dashboards. Supplier performance and test results can be included in KPI management. Before a plant comparison, the plant should check whether different scopes of testing are taken into account. A plant with more documented tests may otherwise appear more conspicuous solely because of its higher testing density.
Assessment: Multi-site companies with shared quality oversight.

Quick SPC supports the recording of measured values as well as statistical quality and process analyses. The manufacturer describes applications ranging from simple measuring tasks to more complex gauge applications on the shop floor. For the assessment, a real component with several characteristics should be used, so that the assignment, unit and testing frequency of each measured value remain visible.
Assessment: Manufacturing plants with distributed measuring stations and statistical quality control.

PeakAvenue describes analyses of quality KPIs in the Quality Center. The development application e1ns Cloud, in turn, can prepare KPIs and maturity assessments for project managers. Ongoing process analysis requires different data than a maturity decision in the development project. Both needs should be assigned separately in the offer.
Assessment: Quality and development managers with product-related analyses.
QC-CALC SPC Pro can generate reports manually or on a schedule. After data cleansing, earlier analyses can be re-run. The documented functions include control charts and statistical analyses.

Assessment: Production-related testing laboratories with sample and batch reference.
LabSolutions Insight supports the analysis of chromatograms from mass spectrometry. The software can highlight peaks based on defined criteria, such as retention time, ion ratio or concentration. This allows measurement series to be reviewed specifically for results that need checking. The specialist assessment remains dependent on the methods and limit values used.

Assessment: Quality managers with several QMS processes.
STARLIMS Advanced Analytics analyses data from laboratory operations. Time trends over weeks or months can make recurring patterns visible. For laboratory management, it is helpful to separate sample volume from investigations actually completed. Otherwise, rising throughput could be explained simply by a different mix of test orders.
Assessment: Laboratory managers with recurring analysis of operational and test data.

For procurement, a complete test run from the individual characteristic to the comparison of several workpieces should be played through.
Assessment: Metrology and quality assurance with recurring workpiece inspections.
SynergySPC records measured values at the workstation and makes them available immediately as a statistical process display. For managers, condensed reports and trends from the same production data are described. For selection, a characteristic is suitable in which a short-term shift in the line mean is visible although the daily summary remains inconspicuous.
