DataLyzer Wizard

SPC Wizard is a state-of-the-art data mining program for SPC analysis, unique in that it combines a complete SPC training module containing process simulations with full functionality for real-time data entry and analysis.

SPC Wizard is a Windows program and currently available in English, German, Dutch and Spanish.

Please join us on a guided tour of SPC Wizard, a state-of-the-art program to support continuous improvement and six sigma.

Most techniques required to perform six sigma projects are included in SPC Wizard: All types of control charts, capability analysis, scatter analysis, Pareto analyses, multi vari analysis, F and T test etc., and all in a very user friendly way.

Analysis can be extracted from data in Excel, ACCESS or any database type accessible by ODBC.

SPC Wizard is very efficient because it is developed from a user point of view:

The following activities will take less than a minute. Compare this with performing these tasks in any other program you know:

With SPC Wizard anybody can make a multi vari analysis on data in any database including a F and T test between two selected data sets from the multi vari chart !!
Show a scatter chart and filter all invalid measurements directly on screen
Show a scatter chart and show all corresponding information (parameters and measurements made at the same time in their control charts) including user notes when you click on any point in the scatter chart.
Correlate measurement data with measurement data from any other data source (e.g. quality data (defect or variables) with supplier information in an Excel spreadsheet, quality data with process data in a SCADA database)
Correlate quality data in a process step with quality data in a later process step (PCB industry, semiconductor industry, assembly industry, food industry)

SPC Wizard is the tool for green belts to get started efficiently with six sigma tasks.

Training SPC for variables
The training module of SPC Wizard for variables contains a graphical simulation of a launcher firing tennis balls. The program records the positions where the balls land. Landing position is influenced by both common and special causes of variation. The program is developed for students who already have a basic knowledge of SPC. It teaches them how to apply SPC to production processes. Special causes of variation can be programmed to occur at pre-set shot numbers so customized examples of data can be produced for training. Students can make control charts and calculate control limits to detect the special causes of variation. The program supports the students with full explanation of the principles and many helpful features. The program also describes capability analysis and the usage of the capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk).

Process Improvement Game
In the game mode the student is confronted with 4 possible special causes of variation: Two different suppliers of balls, the room temperature, inconsistency of the launcher caused by a weak spring and debris on the floor. The student has to use the control chart to identify which of the special causes are affecting the process. The game is won when the landing position of the last 100 shots has an acceptable Ppk value. The game is lost if the student tries to remove a special cause which was not affecting the process.

Training SPC for attributes
In the training module, attribute processes are simulated by taking samples from a box filled with colored beads. The results of the simulation can be quickly displayed on control charts, a Pareto chart, a scattergram or a table of results. The training module also contains a complete simulation of Deming's red beads experiment.

Real-time analysis for variables and attributes
SPC Wizard is capable of reading data from Access®, Excel® or DataLyzer® directly. This means you can directly show control charts and capability analysis with superb analysis possibilities of your data without manipulation of your data files. With a set-up Wizard, you can quickly define a data entry table for new data, including date and time fields, note fields, fields with other production information (like process settings and tracking and tracing information). Once data has been entered you have full analysis capabilities with the control chart, histogram, Pareto chart and scattergram.
