Chemical Market Reporter, QualPro Employs Statistics for Process Improvement "QualPro, based in Knoxville, Tenn., is using multivariable testing (MVT) to help chemical manufacturers improve their processes. "In defiance of conventional academic wisdom, which dictates that variables be changed one at a time when determining their effect on a function, MVT tests all variables at once to identify changes that have the most impact and find the strongest synergies between them." "MVT has been shown to work on the plant floor as well as on paper. As one of QualPro's success stories, Mr. Hammer cites E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.'s agricultural chemical plant in LaPorte, Tex., where the consultancy was asked to improve the quality of an herbicide produced there." "...Following two months of testing, the product's first-pass yield rose to 90 percent. Four months later, once all the testing of all 30 factors was complete, the yield reached 100 percent, producing a bottom-line improvement of more than $25 million..."

Since 1982, QualPro has used Multivariable Testing (MVT®) with 1000+ companies to test 100,000+ improvement ideas. MVT® tests between 20 and 40 ideas simultaneously, accurately predicting the bottom-line impact of potential process changes in as short as 12 weeks. Take existing process initiatives, like Six Sigma, to a whole new level. All process improvement tools and approaches (TQM, DOE, Six Sigma, Re-Engineering, SPC) can be enhanced through the use of Multivariable Testing® by QualPro.
