Process Improvement

Are you losing time and money?
Do you have research, medical, manufacturing or quality assurance
processes with inadequate performance?

Are you frustrated with tracking performance of your lab or manufacturing process?
Are you confronted with lean budgets that demand more efficiency?
Are you struggling to understand irregularities in your manufacturing process?
Do you know what those irregularities are doing to your bottom-line?

Many activities are dependent on the efficient use of information for their success no matter whether they are in the lab, clinic, factory or sports arena. Information gushes out from multiple sources to be used, lost or ignored. Inefficient use of process information wastes money, energy, material and performance. Inefficiencies happen and the best process designs evolve to accommodate current schedule, customer and economic demands. How does a business manager keep the processes that produce his product running efficiently? In this age of information technology, many rewards have been gained by capturing detailed data about all aspects of a process to understand what influences energy usage, material usage, production time and quality.
Typically, ISTL will analyze your process to identify where data is available or could be generated. We work with your people to understand your process and all of the ways that it can change. We then do the hardware and software engineering to gather all of your process data into a coherent system to track your process in real time. The solution that satisfies your needs may be statistical process control (SPC) of your daily production. Your solution may require specialized algorithms that respond to process disturbances. Your lab or clinic may need the flexibility to track thousands of data parameters concurrently with analysis or be able to add new parameters at any time.
