Case Study: Coherent improves manufacturing yields with JMP

At Coherent, lean manufacturing principles and comprehensive data analysis allow the company to compete in a crowded industry

Coherent, a global photonics manufacturer, needed a leaner way to improve laser production quality and reduce costs while managing growing volumes of manufacturing data. The company turned to JMP to help its operations team integrate and analyze complex data from multiple sources and support faster, more reliable statistical decision-making.

With JMP, Coherent used tools like design of experiments, gage R&Rs, and exploratory data analysis to identify process issues and communicate findings through clear visualizations. This helped the team uncover inconsistent yields tied to different suppliers, improve supplier consistency, and reduce scrap costs; JMP also made it easier for stakeholders to make data-driven decisions and boost manufacturing efficiency.
