Case Study: Midwest-based Plastics Company achieves real-time SPC compliance and streamlined quality reporting with Hertzler Systems Inc.'s GainSeeker Suite

Midwest-based Plastics Company - Customer Case Study

Midwest-based Plastics Company, a mid-sized supplier to the automotive industry, faced new customer demands for higher-quality, real-time reporting but its Quality Manager lacked the time and resources to research and implement an SPC system — and corporate would not approve a mid-year capital expenditure. The company turned to Hertzler Systems Inc and its GainSeeker Suite to explore a low-risk way to prove value without a large up-front investment.

Hertzler Systems Inc provided an installable trial of GainSeeker Suite and guided the QM via a few WebEx sessions so he could install the software on his laptop, configure a single workstation, and begin collecting, analyzing, and responding to real-time alarms and trends. Using Hertzler’s Lease-to-Purchase plan avoided a capital project while delivering the data needed to meet the customer’s expectations; the QM reports achieving compliance in far less time and expense than anticipated and installing the system without IT involvement.
