Press Release Summary: Aspects of Data Value in Manufacturing Sector Detailed by
Hertzler Systems

Press Release Body: 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."


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."
