"Once up and running, Quality Analyst is also very easy to use, and provides fast access to charts, even for the non-expert.
NWA is enabling us to spend our time responding to data rather than obtaining and charting data." Dow selected NWA Quality Analyst because of its flexibility, ease-of-implementation, and ease-of-use.
The project goal is to increase the consistency and quality of Dow's products worldwide.
It will also support the company's Six Sigma initiative: a measure of quality used within an organisation to strive for near perfect processes and products; and sustain gains in product quality after the completion of Six Sigma analysis.
