From Cirris--Cable/Harness/Backplane Testing Made Easy
======

As part of our efforts to upgrade our Quality Certification to
ISO-9001:2000, we found ourselves using Statistical Process Control
(SPC) techniques more than ever.

Using SPC helps you monitor and improve your production process.
This month we highlight our "SPC Made Easy" software and we refer
you to a web site and some books that can help you learn and apply
statistical techniques.

Questions? Comments? call us at 1-800-441-9910.

Best Regards,

Marlin Shelley
President

SPC for Cables and Harnesses


Try our quick "virtual demo" of SPC Made Easy. Touch1 and easy-wire
testers can collect mounds of test data. Put that data to work
helping you improve your processes. Analyze your data to answer
questions about where problems occur. Review production rates,
create charts, and print the results. Run the virtual demo at:
