That data is then available for real-time monitoring, analysis, reporting and problem resolution.  MONITOR - Track Your Quality in Real Time Real-time monitoring of your production line gives you constant visibility into your manufacturing quality. Watch for our of specification parts, or trends towards out-of-spec scenarios.  This reduces downtime, defects and non-conformance by giving you the ability to immediately address issues, as well as solve problems before parts go out-of-spec.  ANALYZE - Use SPC to Root Cause Issues and Find Trends QDM gives you advanced SPC analysis.  This comes in the form of dashboards and analysis reports that can be made available to interested parties across your organization.  These offer analytics in the form of Cpk, Cp, Ppk, Pp as well as comparisons, trends and historical analysis. Choose specific samples based on location, time, machine, part or operator.  REPORT - Communicate Results and Quality Across the Organization QDM offers both custom reporting and automated reporting.  Users can choose specific data sets, then select from pre-made forms to automatically generate customer reports in seconds.  Alternately, users can set up automatic report generation, creating specific reports available when they need them. This can be used to have the previous day's report always available in the morning, or to instantly create historic reports from the previous month, line, production run or other variable.  SOLVE - Quickly Resolve Production and Quality Issues Use QDM to solve production issues and predict manufacturing problem before they happen.  This gives you the ability to reduce scrap, rework and warranty claims by finding and resolving issues before they become problems.  With trend reports and automated alerts, stay constantly up-to-date on your production quality.  Use custom reports to drill down and find exactly where and why your manufacturing is having issues. Is it a bad part? Is a machine worn out? Is an operator performing poorly? Find the answers you need, fast.  ** #### Data at Your Fingers, Fast with Mobile, Cloud and Web ** #### Custom and Automated Reports ** #### Use Any Measurement Instrument and Source [QDM](http://295751.hs-sites.com/automated-spc-systems-qdm) is all about access.
