FACSTM (Factory Audit and Control System) is the latest generation of Statistical Process Control (SPC) Software from Factory Systems LLC. This browser-based software offers central management of factory floor SPC and quality control management information. Quality plans, setup information, process related data and communications for all your CimStat® Factory Workstations are managed by FACSTM. This package is now Windows 2000/XP/Vista compatible and contains the following tools:
The Spec Editor tool is, by far, the most involved module allowing full specification plans to be created from the ground - up.
With Spec Editor, the operator is able to create and maintain variable and attribute quality plans for distribution to the CimStat Factory Workstations on the factory floor. The quality plans are placed into “Setup” files along with configuration parameters, process events (assignable causes), automatic trend alarms, etc. These files are made available to the operator on the factory floor.
The Charts tool provides an extensive array of popular statistical charts such as Xbar, R, Pareto, Sigma and Histogram for variable and attribute analysis. With Charts, the manager can review the capabilities of the processes being measured by the Factory WorkStations on the shop floor.
With the Charts tool, the user may further analyze a process by monitoring the natural limits of the process, the impact of improvements to the process and, like the Report tool, identify potential problems before they evolve into critical situations.
The FACSTM Report tool is a dynamic, time saving package providing the capability to generate comprehensive reports, which compliment the SPC charting functions. The summary reports can be created for any process(es) being monitored by the Factory Workstations on the factory floor. And, using the resident SORT feature, the user can identify the process with the poorest CPK (for example). The Report tool also includes the ability to specify flags for indicating the presence of events (out-of-tolerance conditions), which may require further SPC analysis.
