Portland, Oregon - November 1, 2007 - Northwest Analytical, Inc. (NWA) has announced a new white paper, "21st Century Process Management Using SPC Based Manufacturing Analytics". The paper details how process based manufacturing and business analytics enable enterprise decision making.

SPC based Manufacturing Analytics is statistical and rule based, provides the aggregation, analysis and role-based visualization and reporting of manufacturing data that enables users to better understand and improve their processes, identify and reinforce best practices, react quickly to process events, and anticipate potential problems before they affect product quality, yield, or cost. SPC is fundamental to the corporate need of better data analysis. It is how to make more effective use of all the data in historians, MES, LIMS and ERP systems. It also allows for the reduction of complex, specialized process data into graphic visualizations which operations and management can quickly understand and from which informed action can be taken.
