Case Study: Global Food Product Manufacturer saves $1.1M in annual raw material costs with Advantive InfinityQS

Using Quality Data to Weigh Process Improvement Options

A global food product manufacturer faced a challenge in extracting meaningful insights from its abundant statistical process control data to reduce scrap, waste, and costs. To discover if a quality intelligence system could make a measurable difference, the company enlisted Advantive to perform an onsite assessment using their InfinityQS solutions, including Enact and ProFicient.

Advantive focused the analysis on product weights, a primary cost center. By diving into historical data, they identified significant variations and ran "what-if" scenarios. This analysis revealed that by reducing the standard deviation in its processes by 25%, the company could safely achieve an annual raw material cost savings of $1,100,000 without risking underweight packages.
