Case Study: Elixir Strings achieves higher quality, great tone, and longer-lasting guitar strings with JMP

JMP statistical discovery software backs Elixir Strings’ efforts to help guitarists make beautiful music

Elixir Strings, a business unit of W.L. Gore & Associates, needed to become the go-to supplier of guitar strings for the music industry while overcoming the challenge of consistently designing and manufacturing strings with great tone, long life, and reliable performance. To do that, Elixir Strings used JMP statistical discovery software for basic statistics, process control, design of experiments, and communicating complex product interactions.

Using JMP, Elixir Strings improved product development, validated manufacturing settings, and monitored production more effectively from early development through commercialization. JMP helped the team shorten design cycles, optimize string and cable performance, and share insights across technical and non-technical staff; the result was products praised by demanding musicians for high quality, great tone, and long life.
