Drive new levels of quality performance

SAS Quality Analytic Suite

Identify issues earlier. Find root causes faster. And significantly reduce the costs of poor quality while enhancing your brand reputation.

Boost your quality performance

Get a comprehensive view of your overall product quality. SAS brings together data from virtually any source or format and makes it analysis-ready. Advanced analytics enables you to identify emerging issues early so you can prioritize them and resolve them quickly. The result? You'll get higher first-time quality at a lower cost and increased production yield with reduced scrap and rework rates.
Measure customer perception of quality

Understand how customers perceive the quality and reliability of your products and services. Real-time customer feedback from external and internal sources can provide design suggestions or early warning of warranty and recall issues. Perceptual quality analysis can also detect issues that annoy customers, but haven't become formal complaints – so you can address them before they erode your brand equity and competitive advantage.
Reduce warranty costs & lessen their impact

Know how your products are performing in the field so you can find and resolve issues quickly. With SAS, you can detect potential issues much earlier, identify the root cause faster and put permanent fixes in place sooner. This keeps your warranty costs to a minimum in terms of repair and replacement costs. And because fewer customers are affected, your brand equity is protected.
Improve production yield while lowering maintenance costs

Automatically monitor equipment and system performance and bring together all relevant operational data regardless of source system or format. Use predictive modeling to uncover hidden patterns and correlations that may lead to failures. By using high-performance analytics, you can reduce unplanned downtime and eliminate unnecessary maintenance by predicting the likelihood of a failure far enough in advance to perform orderly, planned maintenance and avoid costly line stoppages.
