Press Release Summary: Quality Digest Real-Time Performance Management by Hertzler
SPC

Press Release Body: “Manufacturers attempting to improve both operational and
corporate performance should first examine the overall structure of their business
processes,” says Matthew Littlefield, a senior research analyst with the Aberdeen
Group and co-author of the benchmark report titled “Event Driven Manufacturing
Intelligence: Creating Closed Loop Performance Management.”

“As a general theme, we find best-in-class manufacturers are most significantly
differentiated from their competition by the incorporation of real-time data into
these processes,” says Littlefield. “Specifically, best-in-class manufacturers are
more than twice as likely as laggard manufacturers to monitor exceptions on the
plant floor in real time, use real-time data in production optimization processes,
and in using real-time data for production release and control.”

Hertzler Systems Inc., of Goshen, Indiana, has announced the availability of a new
research report by the Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Co. The report reveals that
best-in-class manufacturers realize 24 percent more on-time deliveries, have a
30-percent higher level of overall equipment effectiveness, a 29-percent higher
overall yield, and enjoy 33 percent greater profit margins when compared to their
lower-performing peers.


“This is the first independent study that we’ve seen validate our experience across
a wide population,” says Evan Miller, president of Hertzler Systems.
