How a $1 Billion Building Materials Manufacturer Improved Product Quality using WinSPC

A quality analyst at one of the USA's largest building materials manufacturers needed to control and improve the quality of the company’s asphalt shingles. The problem was that each batch of raw asphalt had a notable difference in its quality characteristics. In order to make a high quality product it had to adjust the oxidation process to compensate for the variation. The quality team needed a faster, more accurate method to monitor and analyze the oxidation process. The current method required excessive resources and time, and was prone to failure.
WinSPC gave this analyst that ability. He reported that within four months he recovered the initial investment and reduced variation by 39.5 percent.
