SPC is synonymous with cost savings.
Quality improvements and cost reduction go hand-in-hand. Poor quality that results in scrap, rework, giveaway (overfilling), and even recalls, is costing manufacturers billions of dollars each year. SPC is a scientific, proven methodology for driving down these costs by proactively monitoring quality in real-time, allowing you to prevent problems before defects occur.
ProFicient is the world’s leading real-time SPC software solution to deliver these results. It gives you the right data at the right time to improve quality and save your company thousands or even millions of dollars a year.

Maximizing your ROI
In today’s economy, you can’t afford to make investments that don’t yield a large payoff. With ProFicient, you’ll be able to demonstrate a significant return on investment within a very short timeframe. For example, one of our customers was able to calculate an ROI within just a few days of deployment. At that plant, SPC became synonymous with profitability. This facility easily made the case for
SPC software purchases in their other plants, growing their quality system and dramatically reducing costs.
The biggest improvements and cost savings that our customers gain are typically found by evaluating statistical data from a higher level—comparing performance across plants, processes, parts, shifts, and lots to find the next biggest opportunities for reducing costs and minimizing waste.
ProFicient SPC software is used at the shop floor level, and also from a higher level. By doing so, operations can determine the best way of running the manufacturing processes as a whole for maximizing quality and minimizing the resources needed to do so.
