Case Study: Top-Tier Tool Manufacturing Company achieves reduced scrap and waste with InfinityQS International

Better SPC Tools Expose Fresh Opportunities for Quality Improvement

Top-Tier Tool Manufacturing Company, a global manufacturer, was looking for better ways to reduce scrap and waste while improving quality control, productivity, and profitability. The team had plenty of in-spec data, but they were not using it effectively and were relying on raw spreadsheets and limited chart views. InfinityQS International helped them see that their existing data could reveal much more than out-of-spec points alone, using its quality intelligence/SPC tools, including InfinityQS Enact and ProFicient.

InfinityQS International implemented a data-visibility approach that rolled up SPC information across machines, products, lines, shifts, and sites so the team could analyze patterns more clearly. By testing the system with grinding blade data, the company identified thickness variation, excess material usage, and differences by machine or shift through control charts, histograms, box-and-whisker plots, and Pareto views. The result was immediate insight into actionable sources of waste and quality loss, showing the manufacturer where meaningful cost savings and process improvements could be made.
