The Challenge
Borden Chemical faced the challenge of managing and analyzing vast amounts of data generated from their production processes and research studies. With over 30 sites worldwide and more than 150 researchers, Quality Control engineers, and technical consultants, the company needed a robust system to automate data analysis and report generation. The manual process was time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to inefficiencies and delays in delivering critical insights to both internal stakeholders and customers. Additionally, Borden Chemical required a solution that could seamlessly integrate with their existing data repositories, such as SAP and their LIMS system, to ensure accurate and timely data access for analysis.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Borden Chemical implemented the STATISTICA Enterprise-wide SPC System (SEWSS) as their analysis platform. SEWSS provided comprehensive data analysis and reporting tools, automating the process of product test data analysis and report generation. This system was deployed across over 30 sites worldwide, serving more than 150 users, including researchers, Quality Control engineers, and technical consultants. SEWSS enabled Borden Chemical to create monthly product reviews and reports that were sent to customers with product shipments, ensuring timely and accurate information delivery. In collaboration with StatSoft, Inc., Borden Chemical integrated SEWSS with their key data sources, such as SAP and their LIMS system. This integration allowed users to run analyses and select criteria for various parameters using SEWSS' interactive filtering capabilities. The centralized configuration of connections and queries ensured seamless data access and analysis, enhancing the overall efficiency and accuracy of the process.
