Press Release Summary: Four Elements of Data Value for Manufacturers Outlined by Hertzler's CEO Miller
Press Release Body: Product Release & Control uses data to validate that products are acceptable for shipment. This data is primarily accept/reject type data, and may be based on either measurements or some other kind of pass/fail criteria; it is based on the voice of the customer.
Process Control applies statistical process control tests to key products and processes. These activities use the Voice of the Process to determine the stability of the process. Miller suggests this allows a manufacturing organization to react immediately to instability and unexpected variation.
Continuous Process Improvement uses data to close the loop on processes and drive continuous improvement. Miller is proud that, "All of our people are trained to use this data to look for hidden sources of variation and correlation between key input and key output variables."
"Data Visibility & Transparency is vital," notes Miller because, "Our data is readily visible at all levels of the organization. Every stakeholder, from process owners to the leadership team, can put their fingers on the performance data that matters to them. Information is summarized in easy-to-understand dashboards that help them separate signal from noise so they don\'t react to the wrong things. Furthermore, they can readily get to the underlying data to better understand the drivers of their key metrics."
According to Evan Miller, President & CEO of Hertzler Systems, "There are four Aspects of Data Value in a manufacturing environment from using data.product release and control, process control, continuous process improvement, and data visibility and transparency."
